  When I turned to get back to my seat, I happened to   3   into the compartment(列车车厢的隔间)next to mine.  4   there was a man who many years before had been my neighbor.He was a great   5  .I remembered it used to take   6   to get away from him once he began a conversation.I was not at all   7   when he went to live in another part of London.We had not met since then, nor did I wish to meet him now, when my   8   was about to begin.

  Luckily at that   9   he was much too busy talking to the man opposite him to see me.

  I slipped back into my compartment,   10   my two suitcases and carried them to the far end of the corridor so as to be   11   to get off the train as soon as it stopped.The moment the train came to a pause, I called a   12  , who in no time at all had carried my luggage out of the   13   and found me a taxi.As I drove towards my small hotel on the outskirts(市郊)of the town, I breathed a deep sigh of relief at my narrow   14  .There was little chance that I should   15   into my boring ex-neighbor again.

  When I reached the hotel, I went straight to my room and rested there   16   it was time for dinner.Then I went down to the lounge(休息室)and ordered a   17  .I had hardly raised the glass to my lips when a   18   voice greeted me.I had not escaped from my tiresome neighbor after all!He grasped me warmly by the hand and   19   that we should share a table in the room,“This is a pleasant   20  ,”he said,“I never expected to see you again after all these years.”

Conjoined twins lead separate but active lives.

Lori and Reba have never been alone and they want to keep it that way.

The 40-year-old conjoined twins in Pennsylvania,US,have read about others locked together by an accident of birth who have been medically separated.But they insist only death can part them.

“We’ve never imagined a life divided,”Lori said.

Lori and Reba are joined together at the side of their heads,facing in opposite directions.Their blood supply is partly linked,but each has a separate brain.

Reba suffers from a disease which has left her completely dependent on her sister.

Lori wheels her everywhere they go in different professional directions.Lori worked in a laundry room at a hospital for six years before giving that up to allow Reba to try to become a country singer.

Her first song is called “The Fear of Being Alone”,which was inspired by Reba and Lori’s desire for togetherness.

Reba’s career has taken her across the United States,Europe and parts of Asia.

While the twins receive some money from the government,the earning from Reba’s concerts go to AIDS and cancer charities(慈善机构).

The sisters have set goals for themselves.Reba looks forward to a successful career as a country singer,while Lori says she hopes to get married and have children.Lori said,”So when it comes,it comes.Meanwhile,I live wonderfully from day to day.”

2.By leading separate lives,the topic means that    .
