It must have been around nine o’clock when I 1 back home from work because it was already dark. As I approached the gate I turned 2 the headlamps of the car 3 prevent the beam from swinging in through the window and 4 Jack, who shared the house with me. But I needn’t have bothered．I noticed that his light was still 5 , so he was awake anyway 6 he’d fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps. Then I opened the door 7 and went to Jack’ s room. He was in bed 8 but he didn’t even turn towards me.
“What’s up, Jack?” I said.
“For god’s sake don’t make a noise,” he said.
The way he spoke reminded me of someone 9 who is afraid to talk in case he should do himself a serious injury.
“Take your shoes off, Nellille,” Jack said.
I thought he 10 ill and that I had better humor him to keep him happy. “There’s a snake here,” he explained．“It’s asleep between the sheets. I was lying 11 my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was out of 12 I couldn’t have moved 13 I’d wanted to. ” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to 14 a doctor as soon as you came home,” Jack went on. “It hasn’t 15 me yet but I 16 do anything to upset it. It might wake up. I’m 17 of this,” he said．“I 18 you’d be home an hour ago.”
There was no time to 19 for being late. I looked at him as 20 as I could and went out to telephone the doctor.

It was a beautiful day at the beach—blue sky, gentle wind, calm sea．I knew these things because a man sitting five feet from me was shouting them into his mobile phone, like a play-by-play announcer （实况解说员）.
“IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY,” he shouted．“THE SKY IS BLUE, AND THERE’S A GENTLE WIND, AND THE WATER IS CALM, AND…”
Behind me, a woman, her mobile phone pressed to her ear was walking back and forth.
“She DIDN’T,” she was saying．“No．She DIDN’T．She DID? Really? Are you SERIOUS? She did NOT．She DID? No she…”
And so on．This woman had two children, who were playing in the sea．I found myself watching them, because the woman surely was not．A huge squid could have caught and snatched the children, and this woman would not have noticed．Or, if she had noticed, she’d have said, “Listen．I have to go, because a huge squid just……No! She didn’t ! She DID? No! She……”
And next to me, the play-by-play man would have said: “…AND A HUGE SQUID JUST ATE TWO CHILDREN, AND I’M GETTING A LITTLE SUNBURNED, AND …”
It used to be that the major trouble at the beach was the fellow who brought a boom box （便携式录音机） and turned it up so loud that the bass notes caused seagulls to explode．But at least you knew where these fellows were; you never know which beachgoers have mobile phones．You’ll settle next to what appears to be a sleeping sunbather, or even （you hope） a corpse , and you’ll lie happily on your towel, and you’ll get all the way to the second sentence of your 467-page book before you fall asleep to the hypnotic surge of the surf （催人入梦的潮声）, and …
BREEP! BREEP! The corpse sits up, feels urgently for its mobile phone, and shouts “Hello! I’m at the beach! Yes! It’s nice! Very peaceful! What? She did? No, she didn’t! She DID? No, she…”
Loud mobile-phoners never seem to get urgent calls．Just once, I’d like to hear one of them say, “Hello? Yes, this is Dr．Johnson．Oh, Dr．Smith．You’ve opened the abdominal cavity （腹腔）? Good! Now the appendix should be right under the … What? No, that’s the liver．Don’t take THAT out, ha ha! Oh, you did? My God! OK, now listen carefully…”
