An old friend from California called from the airport（机场） to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat (门垫). Since I knew it would be pretty late before I could get home, I suggested that he make himself at home and help himself to anything that was in the refrigerator.

Two hours later my friend phoned me from the house. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having had a delicious meal. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice. When I asked him if he had had any difficulty finding the house, he answered that the only problem was that he had not been able to find the key under the doormat(门垫), but luckily, the living room window by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in through the window. I listened to all this in great surprise. There is no apple tree outside my window, but there is one by the living room window of my next door neighbor's house!

    An old friend from abroad, whom I was expecting to stay with,　　 telephoned from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was still　　 busy with something important at the time, but I had made arrangements　　 for his arrival. After explaining where my new flat was, I told him　　 that I had left the key under the doormat. As I was likely to be home　　 rather late, I advised him to go into the kitchen and help himself to　　 food and drink.

    Two hours later the telephone on my table rang. It was my friend. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after　　 having just had a truly wonderful meal. He had found a pan on the gas　　 stove and fried two eggs and had helped himself to some cold chicken　　 from the ice-box. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of beer and he　　 hoped I would join him. When I asked him if he had reached the flat　　 without difficulty, he answered that he had not been able to find the　　 key under the doormat, but fortunately the living room window just by　　 the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in.
