　　A man lived in a tall building in the city of Moscow. He liked living there. It was usually very quiet, and he could see the park from his window. There was only one problem: the man upstairs. Every night, the man upstairs came back late. He always took off his shoes and threw them on the floor. At this time, the man downstairs was trying to sleep. But every night he heard the noise upstairs. Bang! One shoe. Bang! The other shoe. It was too bad. He found it very difficult to get to sleep and he was rather angry with the man upstairs. One day, the man downstairs went to talk to the man. He went upstairs and knocked at the door. The man opened it. With a smile the man from downstairs said: "I' m sorry to trouble you. "

　　"What is it?" asked the man.

　　"Well, every time you get back at night, you drop your shoes on the floor. It happens every night. The noise wakes me up. Would you please not do this?"

　　"I'm very sorry," said the man. "I won't do it again. "

　　The next evening the man upstairs came home from work late as usual. He was feeling very tired. He took off the first shoe and threw it on the floor. The he remembered the man down stairs.

　　So he took off the second shoe and put it under his bed very quietly. He had his supper, listened to the radio, read a newspaper and then went to bed. He was just falling asleep when there was a loud knock at the door. He opened it and saw the man from downstairs.

　　"Please!" said the man from downstairs. "Please drop the other shoe! I was waiting for the sound of the other shoe! I can't get to sleep!"

    Hi, I’m Tina. I’m an office worker in a downtown(城区市中心) office. I live on a small island, so I take a boat from the island（岛）to the city every day. The boat leaves every 20 minutes and it takes about 35 minutes to get to the city. Then I have a short walk to my office. Sometimes when the weather is bad, I can’t get to work on time by boat.

    Hello, I’m Maria and I’m a college student(大学生). I live in the college. The college is very big, so I usually walk a lot. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes to get from one building（楼房）to the next. When I want to shop with my friends outside the college, we take a bus. The buses stop running after 10:00 pm. So if we come back after that time, we have to take a taxi.
