Three men came to London for a holiday．They came to a very large hotel and lived in a room on the fortieth floor．
In the evening the three men went t 1 the cinema and came back to the hotel very late．
“I'm sorry,”s 2 the waiter．“but our lifts don't work tonight．”
One of the three men said to the o 3 two,“We have to walk up to the f 4 floor．Let's m 5 it easier．On our way to the room, I shall tell you a joke．And you, John, will sing u 6 some songs．Then you, Peter, will tell us an interesting story．”So they began to w 7 up to their room．Tom told a joke．John sang a song．At last they came to the thirty-ninth floor．They were tired and decided to h 8 a rest．
“Well,”said Tom．“Peter, will you please tell us a long and interesting s 9 with a sad ending?”
“All right．I shall tell you a sad story,”said Peter．“It's not long, but it is s 10 enough．We left our key in the first floor．What are we going to do?”
In English, people don't u 1 talk much．You can go on a bus, or in a t 2 , and everyone sits looking out of the w 3 ．
Often they read．They read books and n 4 ．But they don't talk much．W 5 you meet English people, they o 6 talk about the weather．So you can say“N 7 weather for the time of year!”Someone may a 8 ,“But it was a l 9 cold yesterday．”
Talk like this, and English people will(将)think：“How f 10 you are!”
