Last week Mary went to London. She didn’t know London very well, and she lost her way. Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop. “I can ask him the way,” she said to herself. “Excuse me,” she said. “Can you tell me the way to King Street, please?” The man smiled pleasantly. He was a tourist. Then he put his hand into his pocket, and took out a phrasebook（短语手册）. He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly. “I am sorry,” he said, “I do not speak English.”
1．Mary went to London last week. （______）Mr Brown lived in a small town before, but he works in a big city now. So he moved there with his wife and two children three years ago.
One day, Mr Brown took his car out and washed it. When a friend came,the friend stopped and looked at the car for a minute. Then Mr Brown stopped and looked at him. The friend said, “That’s a nice car. Is it yours?” “Sometimes,” Mr Brown answered. The friend was surprised. “Sometimes?” he said. “What do you mean? ” Mr Brown answered slowly, “Well, when there’s a party in the town, my daughter, Jean drives it. When there’s a football game, it’s my son Joe’s turn. When I have washed it and it looks really nice and clean,my wife Linda use it. And when it needs cleaning, it’s mine.”
