As my train was delayed for two hours, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some magazines to read on the journey, I gave my wife a long-distance call. Then I 1 my way to the luggage office to collect my heavy suitcase. I had left it there three days before. There were only a few people 2 , and I took out my 3 to find the receipt 4 my case. The receipt seemed not where I had placed it. No matter how 5 I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.
When my 6 came, I 7 the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me 8 as if to say that he had 9 this kind of story many times and asked me to tell him 10 my case was like. I told him it was an old brown-looking object, not different 11 the many cases I could see in his office. The assistant then told me to 12 a list of what was 13 in the case. If they were 14 , he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the things I had hurriedly put into the case and 15 them down as they came to me.
After I had done this, I went to 16 round the office. There were hundreds of 17 there.

I have traveled all over the world. Here is a little advice on“wise traveling”. I have learned, often the hard way, that there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. First of all, always check and double-check the departure time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. I walked calmly to the departure desk, thinking I still had a little time to spare. I hadn't bothered to take a good look at the ticket. The clerk at the desk told me politely but firmly that the departure time was 10:50 and that the flight was, according to international regulations,“now closed”. I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. This can be absolutely necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa. Oklahoma. I flew there from London via Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and since I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.
“Listen, buddy! I only take real money!”the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave, especially if you can take only a little luggage with you. I feel sorry for some of my colleagues who travel in heavy suits and raincoat in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. Few people understand just how important it is to have the right sort of clothes with you in these days of rapid air travel.

D.the American driver never travels to England

After two hours of this, I realized we would have to do something to 12 being frozen to death. We stood up from time to time through the snow. I had 13 the outline of a buttress (扶垛)just above us.
