A. preferences:
woman: Which do you prefer: driving a car yourself or being a passenger?
你更喜欢哪一个？自己开车还是当乘客？
Man: Well―that depends. I enjoy driving, especially on long empty roads where I can go nice and fast. But I'm not very fond of sitting in traffic jams waiting for lights to change, and things like that.
I suppose I don't mind being a passenger, but only if I'm sure that the other person really can drive properly.

C．Old Arthur：
Everyone knows him as Old Arthur. He lives in a little hut in the middle of a small wood, about a mile from the village. He visits the village store twice a week to buy food and paraffin, and occasionally he collects letters and his pension from the post office. A few weeks ago, a reporter from the local newspaper interviewed him. This is what he said:
每个人都知道他是老亚瑟。他住在森林中部的一个小屋中，离村庄大约一英里。他每周去村中的商店两次去买食物和石蜡，偶尔他去邮局取信和退休金。几周前，一个来自当地报社的记者采访他。这就是他说的：
I get up every morning with the birds. There is a stream near my hut and I fetch water from there. It's good, clear, fresh water, better than you get in the city. Occasionally, in the winter, I have to break the ice. I cook simple food on my old paraffin stove, mostly stews and things like that. Sometimes I go to the pub and have a drink, but I don't see many people. I don't feel lonely. I know this wood very well, you see. I know all the little birds and animals that live here and they know me. I don't have much money, but I don't need much. I think I'm a lucky man.
我每天早晨和鸟儿一起起床。我的小屋旁有一条小溪并且我从这取水。水很好，清澈，又新鲜，比你在城市里的好。在冬天的时候，我偶尔需要打破冰层。我在我老旧的石蜡炉子上做简单的饭菜。大部
分是炖的饭菜和像那样的东西。有时，我去酒吧喝一杯，但我没看见很多人。我不感觉孤单。如你所见，我非常了解这片森林。我知道住在这的所有的小鸟和小动物，并且它们也知道我。我没有很多钱但我也不需要太多。我认为我是一个幸运的人。
D．The Man Who Missed the Plane
James wrote a play for television, about an immigrant family who came to England from Pakistan, and the problems they had settling down in England. The play was surprisingly successful, and it was bought by an American TV company.
吉姆为电视台写了一个剧本，关于一个从巴基斯坦到英格兰的移民家庭和他们定居到英格兰的问题。剧本意外的很成功，并被美国的一家电视公司买走了。
James was invited to go to New York to help with the production. He lived in Dulwich, which is an hour's journey away from Heathrow. The flight was due to leave at 8:30 am, so he had to be at the airport about 7:30 in the morning. He ordered a mini-cab for 6:30, set his alarm for 5:45, and went to sleep. Unfortunately he forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped shortly after midnight. Also the driver of the mini-cab had to work very late that night and overslept.
James woke with that awful feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his alarm clock. It
