9 Lansdowne Road

Chichester PO236PX

Saturday

Dear John,

　 I got your letter yesterday. Yes, of course you can come and stay next week. I didn’t realize your company was in this area. Actually, it’s lucky that I shall be here, because I have to go away on business myself on Monday — but I shall be back by the time you come. What time will you be arriving? Anyway, I’ll leave a key with my next-door neighbour (at Number 21) just in case you get here before I do.

I’d better give you some directions as to how to get here. When you get to the town, follow the main road as far as the first set of traffic lights and then turn right. Turn left at the next crossing. At the end of this road there’s a roundabout. Go straight across, and Lansdowne Road is the second on the right.

By the way, I hope you won’t mind sleeping on the camp-bed. I’m afraid there isn’t a spare (空閑的) bed, but it’s quite solid, so you should be comfortable enough! I nearly forgot to mention the most important thing — could you bring a sleeping bag?

Well, I must go now — I’ve got to go and collect the car from the garage. I was out in the middle of nowhere yesterday, when it broke down for no clear reason. I had to walk miles before I found a phone-box and finally asked a garage to send someone out to give me a tow（拖走）.

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.

　　　 　　　　　　　　 Yours,

　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　 Mike

  F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University  for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.

  His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“ My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.” 

This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing.

My parents and I went to the park on last Sunday. There were lots of visitors stood in front of the ticket window. We waited a long time and buy three tickets. In the Tiger Mountain of the park, I was too eager to see the fierce frightened animals that I quickened my steps through the crowd. Unfortunate, I got separated from my parents. I had hard time looking for him, but I had no luck. Wandering in the park, I felt alone without any companions. Worse still, I had no money, so I had to walk home, covered as much as 5 kilometers.

One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber — and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide hunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to walk silently into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (懷疑) of the guest who came at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact .” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a beat.”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手銬).”

The underlined phrase “be in line for” (paragraph 1) means________.

A. get    B. be paid           C. ask for          D. own

Vicki's heart missed a beat because ________.

A. the phone went again              B. she would be famous

C. the policemen had already arrived    D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park

David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in ________.

A. the passage B. the man's room

C. Vicki's bedroom       D. the top floor room

The whole event probably lasted about ________ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.

A. 6              B. 8              C. 11           D. 14
