A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile zone（区域）, when a   36   came behind him. Right away the man started thinking of   37   to give.

         As the policeman came to him, he said, “Hi, officer, I guess you   38   me a little bit over the speed limit（限制）. I was in a rush to get   39  , to be with my wife and kids. You know my younger son wasn’t feeling too   40   when I left home this morning. I’m afraid he’s ill.”

         The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started   41   something in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the policeman was   42   writing. When the man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driving   43   so far, the policeman came to his window,   44   him a piece of paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man wondered: how much was this   45   going to be? However, the man was   46   it was not a ticket at all and he began to   47  :

         “I had a daughter who was   48   by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a few months in   49  , and then was free, free to hug（拥抱） his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to   50   until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to   51   that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive (原谅) him. So pray (祈祷) for me, and be   52   when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”

         The man was completely   53   and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove   54  , even a few miles   55   the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.

It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road.   36

I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury.

I was going along   37  at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a  38  scream--- “ Help! ” I looked round, but the only   39  of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking car just   40   a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I   41   speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw   42   me. As I drew near, the girl’s voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with   43   .

“Let me go, you coward; you’re hurting me. Oh ! Oh ! ”

I felt my   44   boil. The fog was coming down   45   now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no  46  that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.

“Drop that knife, you fool. Oh ! ” Then a cry and a groan（呻吟）.

 If I was to save her, it was now or   47  . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would at least try to bring the murderer to   48  . The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its   49  , and its brakes screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and   50   into the ditch（沟）at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out .

“You fool!” he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was   51   than he. I put all I could into   52   that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It   53   him right on the point of the chin; his   54   slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car,   55   open the door and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.

“You have been listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately . ”

The students were sixteen or seventeen years old,        several years younger than me.       , some of them looked and acted       older than me sometimes.

The room was directly       the street, and had the window looking out over the street and many houses. One day, I was       some words on the blackboard when I heard a sudden change in the noise behind me. There was a man standing in the room with       an apple in his hand. He looked      .

“Who threw this?” he asked, looking round the class.

“I beg your pardon? What is the matter?” I said. “      threw this apple out of the window,” he said. “It       on my car.”

 “Who threw an apple out of the window?” I       to the class. There was no answer.

“I       the fellow who threw this.” said the man. “I will be       outside for you.” And then he left, closing the door behind him.

It made a nice change, I being out first.
