I live in a big city．It’s noisy and dirty and I always feel very 36 ．At the weekends I like to leave the city and get some 37 air and have a good rest．A few weeks ago I decided to go to see my 38 . I was really looking forward to them．

　 My parents live a long way away．I went to see them with James，a friend of 39 ．And we drove there on Friday night．In the middle of the road it began to rain．The roads became very wet and it was difficult to 40 ．We 41 home just after midnight，feeling very tired．The next morning it was still raining．James took his car to a garage(汽车修理站)which was very good．

In the afternoon the 42 got better．We wanted to go for a drive．My parents 43　 us their car．But their car wasn’t very good．It didn’t 　44 on the way. How 45 we were! We had to ring up the garage． “Oh”，they said，“your car won’t 　46 until tomorrow．”So it wasn’t 47 for us to go for a drive．We had to stay at my parents’ home all day．On Sunday my mother 48 a heavy box on her foot and we had to hire(雇佣)a taxi 49 her to hospital．When James and I drove back home on Sunday afternoon，we got stuck(堵车)in a car accident．Oh，my God! Next time if 1 want a rest，I’11 stay in the 50 .

One cold night, after attending a birthday party, Ann walked home along the quiet road．Suddenly from the shade of a dark building, a tall man with a knife in his right hand ran out at her and then said in a cool voice, "Give me your earring or you will die．"

Hearing this, Ann seemed less worried, and after a minute, she became calm．She tried to cover her necklace with the collar （领子） of her overcoat．She wanted to make the robber think she cared for the necklace than for the earrings．Then she used the other hand to take off both of her expensive earrings, which she quickly threw on the ground．

"Take them and let me go," she said．The robber looked at her．He saw the girl didn't care for earrings at all, only trying to protect the necklace．He thought the necklace would cost much more．So he said, "Give me your necklace," "Oh, sir, it's not worth much． Please let me keep it," she begged．"Stop talking, quickly," said the robber．

With shaky hands, Ann took off her necklace．
