(1) Mr. Brown (the motorist)
　　At about 9:20 p.m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick. I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger's (near) side of the car. I stopped the car and got out. A motorcycle had hit my car. The motorcyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.
　　(2) Mr. Smith (the injured motorcyclist)
　　On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was riding my motorcycle. I was going slowly because some of the streetlights were out and the road was wet and slippery. Just before Sturham Road, a car suddenly drove right across my path. The driver did not flash his lights to give a warning. I could not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital in Market Road.
　　(3) Mr. Lee (another motorcyclist)
　　At about 9:10 p.m. on October 14th, I left my home in Midwick. Ten minutes later I was riding my motorcycle along Market Road. I was going to Newtown. There was a motorcycle about 40 metres in front of me. It was not going very quickly. The man on it was riding near the curb (路边) but I was near the center of the road. The motorcyclist in front of me tried to turn to his right but there was no time. He hit the car and was injured. There was no car going along in front of us or put by the road.

Jones, a hardworking blacksmith, used to work all day in his shop. So hard working was he that at times he would make the sparks fly from his 　 1　 .

　 The son of Mr. Smith, a rich 　 2　 , would come to see the blacksmith every day and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself 　 3　 how the tradesman worked.

　 "Young man, why don't you 　 4　 your hand to learn to make shoe tacks,　 5　 it is only to pass the time?" said the blacksmith. "　 6　 knows, one day, it may be of use to you."

　 The lazy boy began to see what he could do. But after a little 　 7 he found that he was becoming very　 8 and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.

　 Old Mr. Smith died and the son 　 9　 the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and was forced to 　 10　 residence in another country. It so 　 11　 that in this village there were numerous shoemakers who were spending a lot of money 　 12　 tacks for their shoes and even 　 13　 when they paid high prices they were　 14　 able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers' shoes.

　 Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to　 15　 his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a 　 16　 with the shoemakers. He told them that he　 17　 make the tacks if they could help him to　 18　 a workshop. The shoemakers were 　 19　 willing to do so. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.

　 "How funny it seems," he used to say, "even making tacks can bring a 　 20 .My trade is more useful to me than all my former riches."
