Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 101. Mr John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest – fach, near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all – expense – paid birthday treat to the capital he just could not refuse.

He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole. “It’s very exciting. There’s no doubt about it,” he said.

Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. “But I’ve been on the seas to that faraway land called Ilfracombe 21 miles from home,” he joked.

Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea – too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.

During the next two days Mr Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr Gareth Wardell.

The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I don’t like the chair – people will think I am getting old,” he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized – no wine, no tobacco and no anger.

Before setting off from Swansea with his 76 – year – old son, Amwell, he said jokingly, “I’m glad to see they’ve given me a return ticket.”

The very reason that Mr. Evans didn’t go to see the world is that                .

       A.he had already been on the seas to Ilfracombe

       B.he was too busy to go too far away from home

       C.he couldn’t afford both the time and the money

       D.he believed “East or west, home is the best”

Mr Evans didn’t like the wheelchair simply because                 .

       A.he was not used to traveling in it

       B.the wheelchair was of poor quality and not easy to operate

       C.he actually preferred walking to sitting in it at home

       D.he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

       A.Mr Evans had to work hard to raise his family when young.

       B.The trip to London excited Mr Evans very much.

       C.Mr Evans could not really enjoy the trip because of his age.

       D.Humor was one of Mr Evans’ characters.

The probable explanation to Mr Evans’ long life lies in                  .

       A.his good living habits      B.his hard working for the family

       C.his sticking to his hometown   D.his living conditions near the Swansea

Britain's oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr John Evans had never found the time or the money—to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all expenses paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.

Well, Mrs Evans, I’ve done my best to look after David. I’ve tidied his room up every day, got him a meal together whenever he needed one and made sure he’s always had a clean shirt to put on. It’s not been easy, with two of my own to worry about, as well. David had the best of attention, I must say. But now because I asked him to give up bringing that American friend to his home he has got quite and unfriendly. He comes in at all hours and his behaviour—well, it’s quite hard to put up with—and it’s all because of this friend. I’m sure he’s a bad influence. You see, David is a visitor and doesn’t fully understand our ways.

He used to study most evenings. He’s got through quite a bit of work. He did up his room quite nicely, with bookshelves and large posters. He’d ask Mr Smith and me up for a drink and cheer us up with songs from his country. He’s very good at the guitar, you know.

I don’t want to appear as if I’m running after him, but it’s about time we made it up. I’m sure he’s upset because I blame him for that. It might be a good idea to take him out for a meal, perhaps even with his friend. I don’t know whether it will do any good but we can try. I’m glad I’ve had this little chat with you, Mrs Evans, and I’ll let you know how I get on.

1.David is          .

A.Mrs Smith’s pet                    B.Mrs Smith’s son

C.a visiting student                       D.a singer

2.Mrs. Smith wants to make up(化解) the quarrel by _______.

    A. cooking a meal                       B. inviting David and his friend out

    C. running after David                  D. giving them drinks

3.David’s present attitude to Mrs Smith is         .

A.very attentive       B.unfriendly       C.cheerful     D.excited
