  The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and the street lamp gave little light.

  Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement(人行道). When he reached the middle of the bridge he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling shame at having acted so foolishly. There was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.

  Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels(脚后跟). He turned round and there stood a man in a large overcoat. A hat pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and calm. The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.

  Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour.

  He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, he began following the stranger quickly. Then the man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the window. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.

  Now Frank realized what was going to happen. He walked quickly and silently across the street towards a telephone box on the comer.

Dear Jose,

  

  You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following“dos”and“don'ts”helpful.

  

  As a __1__, it isn't easy to find anyone to ___2___ in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. First get or borrow ___3___ ! Walk him several times a day !Americans love dogs and usually stop ___4____ to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a cafeteria(食堂). People generally ___5___ the same tables and will sometimes talk to you ___6___ they see that you are a (an)___7____. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)!It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people ____8___ there. They often pass the ___9____ talking to the other customers.____10____ ask for information from a woman, if you are a ____11___ ; and from a man, if you are a woman !It seems to get ___12____ results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the____13____“Please”,“Thank you”, and “You're welcome” before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic(魔术).

  

  There are some things you shouldn't. Don't tell the truth when people ___14____“How are you?” They only ____15___ the answer to be “Fine”. Never ask people their ___16_____ -- especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are ____17___. Tell them they are losing ____18___. Everyone here wants to be ___19____. Don't be late for appointment! When someone says six o'clock, ____20___ be there by six. Americans respect time and expect everyone to be “on time”.

  

  Above all, don't worry ! Just follow my advice and bring a 1ot of money and you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.

Dear Jose,

  

  You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following“dos”and“don'ts”helpful.

  

  As a __1__, it isn't easy to find anyone to ___2___ in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. First get or borrow ___3___ ! Walk him several times a day !Americans love dogs and usually stop ___4____ to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a cafeteria(食堂). People generally ___5___ the same tables and will sometimes talk to you ___6___ they see that you are a (an)___7____. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry(洗衣店)!It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people ____8___ there. They often pass the ___9____ talking to the other customers.____10____ ask for information from a woman, if you are a ____11___ ; and from a man, if you are a woman !It seems to get ___12____ results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the____13____“Please”,“Thank you”, and “You're welcome” before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic(魔术).

  

  There are some things you shouldn't. Don't tell the truth when people ___14____“How are you?” They only ____15___ the answer to be “Fine”. Never ask people their ___16_____ -- especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are ____17___. Tell them they are losing ____18___. Everyone here wants to be ___19____. Don't be late for appointment! When someone says six o'clock, ____20___ be there by six. Americans respect time and expect everyone to be “on time”.

  

  Above all, don't worry ! Just follow my advice and bring a 1ot of money and you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.
