  I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film “Titanic” last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office (售票处) in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service (服务) between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip (行程) in 45 minutes.

  Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town.

  By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it (值得) to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.

" "And you want to buy it," said her husband, "How much does it cost?" "Fifteen pounds." But every morning, when Jones came back from work, his wife went on speaking only about the dress; and at last, after a week, he said, "Oh, buy the dress! Here is the money!" She was very happy. But the next evening, when Mr Jones came home and asked, "Have you got the famous dress?" She said, "No.""Why not?" he said. "Well, it was still in the window of the shop after a week.
