【题目】I had been sitting by myself in my usual compartment for at least ten minutes, waiting for the train __【1】__ (start). Suddenly I heard someone shouting on the platform outside. A young girl was running towards the train. The man on duty put out his hand to stop her but she ran past__【2】__ and opened the door of my compartment. Then the whistle _【3】__ (blow) and the train started. “I nearly missed it, didn’t I?” the girl said. “How long does it __【4】__ to get to London?” “It depends on the engine driver” I said. “Some days it’s much slower than others.” “I’ll have to have my watch _【5】__ (mend), so as not to be late again tomorrow,” she said.

“It’s my first day at work with a new firm today and they told me that the man I’m going to work for is very strict. I haven’t met him yet so I don’t know what he is like, 【6】 he sounds a bit _【7】_ (frighten).”
