A few minutes
before six o’clock, Mr. Smith began to leave. He was about to start the car
when a gunman (持枪者) 1 up from the back seat. He 2 a gun to Mr. Smith’s head,“Drive me to Paris!” he shouted.
“All right”Mr. Smith answered. He started the
engine (发动机), pulled
away from the side of the street and 3 down. Being 81 years old, he knew he
could not 4 the gunman. He knew he needed help. Where
were the police? As he drove 5 each crossing, he looked up and down the
side streets, hoping to meet a police car. But he could see 6 .“Just my luck,” he thought. “If I
was 7 too fast, there would be a police car on
every corner.”
8 he pushed his foot down
on the accelerator, and the car ran 9 faster. “What are you doing?” shouted the
gunman.“Keeping off
the police.” Mr. Smith
answered.“I thought I
saw a police car 10 there.”
He ran red
lights, drove wrong on one-way streets. On the two-way streets, he drove on the
wrong 11 of the road. Not one of the policemen saw
him. Again Mr. Smith’s plan was not working. He had to try a 12 plan.
He 13 a corner and saw the police station in
front. Then he drove his car as fast as he could towards the police gate. The
car hit a police motorbike down and stopped. Mr. Smith shouted,“Help! Help!”Then he 14 back to grab the man’s gun. At the same
time the policemen heard the 15 and quickly caught the gunman.
