　　One morning, Mrs Smith was driving home after She had done some shopping. When she passed a rubbish dump, she noticed 1 like a microwave oven not far from the side of the road.

　　“John is a good 2 ,” she said to herself. “Perhaps he can 3 this. I'll take it home and let him try.”

　　She picked up the oven and put it in the 4 of her car. Then she drove on 5 . A few kilometers later, she heard the siren of 6 behind her. She looked in the driving mirror and saw a policeman 7 to her to pull over and stop.

　　Mrs Smith was very 8 . She slowed down at the side of the road. A 9 policeman got out of the police car and walked up to her.

　　“Can I see your 10 license, please?” he demanded politely. He copied 11 details of her name, address and the number of her car. “ 12 , officer?” Mrs Smith asked.

　　The policeman did not reply. He looked 13 the car and then at the back.

　　“Open the boot, please.” he said to Mrs Smith.

　　Mrs Smith was even more puzzled. She opened the boot 14 pointed to the “microwave oven”. “I 15 this old microwave oven a few minutes ago.” she said, “I am just taking it home to see if my 16 can repair it.”

　　The policeman stared at her for a moment to see if she was 17 the truth.

　　“That's not a microwave oven,” he said at last. “That's our radar set. It was the start of a speed trap. Do you mind if we have it 18 ?”

　　Mrs Smith's face turned 19 . “Oh,” she said, “I'm very sorry. I wouldn't have 20 itif I'd know what it was.”

“The pen is more powerful than the sword（刀）.” There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.

　　She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.

　　This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery.  Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting.
