I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz (爵士乐) concert last Friday. The advertisement (广告) in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day be- tween 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:00, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45 minutes lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky (幸运的) , you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes wait- ing the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box of
A. over the radio
B. from one of his workmates
C. from the newspaper
D. from his friends
Mrs Ruth Li, a Chinese woman, was living in Hong Kong with her baby girl when the Japanese attacked Hong Kong. But their ship sank during their voyage when they left Hong Kong. Mrs Li placed her six-year-old daughter on a bit of floating wood. Later the mother was rescued, but her little girl could not be found.
Many months later, four thousand miles away, a group of American soldiers found a Chinese girl who was half dead. No one could tell how she had got there. She refused to talk or give her name after she recovered.
When the New York Times told about the finding of the girl, Mrs Li’s sister, then in New York, read the news and wrote to her sister about it. Could the girl be the lost child of Mrs Ruth Li The mother made the long voyage to find out. The girl was indeed her own daughter.
