解析：
W: Why do we have to walk to the station? And where is it? M: It's just down that road . I think. W: Look! There's a policeman! Ask him the way. M: All right. I'll go and ask. (pause for 6 seconds) W: So, what did he say? M: Well, we have to walk down this road, take the first turning on the left. Then walk until we come to the river and ... W: The river? M: Yes. It's over there, and there's a bridge. Across the bridge, we will be able to see some road signs which will tell us the way. W: But how far is it? How long does it take to walk there? M: About fifteen minutes, if we walk quickly. W: Fifteen minutes! We may be late for the train. And with these heavy bags, too! I think we ought to take a taxi. M: Not at this hour. Look at the traffic. It's moving very slowly. We can get there just as quickly on foot. W: Well, I can't possibly carry this bag any farther. M: All right. Let me take it, then. W: Don't be silly. You can't carry two bags at the same time. M: Yes, I can. The bags aren't that heavy.., hmm! W: You see! They're heavier than you thought! M: Perhaps it's not such a bad idea after all. W: What isn't such a bad idea? What do you mean? M: Taxi! Taxi! 1. 男人问道“为什么要去火车站”。 2. 时间不够。 3. 包太重，提不动。

I still remember my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.
My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.
“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.
After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
“He’s big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty (惩罚). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
“Do you want to join my gang (帮派)?” he said.
At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.
