      Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was travelling in France. One day he was going to Dijon
by train. That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep. He asked the conductor to wake him up
when they arrived in Dijon. He explained that he was a very heavy sleeper, "I'll probably protest (抗议)
loudly when you try to wake me up," he said to the conductor. "But do not take any notice, just keep
pushing me."
