One afternoon Mrs.Green’s husband wanted to catch the 3∶30 flight to London to have an important meeting.She was very surprised when he telephoned her at 5 o’clock and said that he was still at the airport.
“What happened to you?”asked Mrs.Green.
“Well,”said Mr.Green,“Everything was going fine.I got my ticket, checked my luggage and waited in line at the gate.I walked across the runway to the airplane and I saw my friend Jack Scott, who was an airplane engineer.I shouted to him and a policeman caught me.”
“Why did he catch you?”
“I don’t know,”said Mr.Green,“As soon as he heard my shout, he ran towards me and caught me.”
“What did you shout to your friend?”
“All I said was ‘Hi, Jack’.You know that’s the usual way we say hello to our friends.”
“But you don’t know the sentence ‘Hi, Jack ’ also means to take control of a plane by force(武力).”

When did Mr.Green get to the airport that afternoon?________.
Last Thursday,I traveled on the 8:00 a.m.train from Glasgow to London
King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.
The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow.
A man at the station said sorry to us,but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(误点).We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes.As a result,I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more,the service on the train was also very poor.The trip took more than five hours.Unluckily,we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train.Worst of all,something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train.Before we reached King’s Cross,the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service,I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿).
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
David Robertson
