Mr Johnson lives in a town. He works in a museum. There are a lot of wonderful old things in it. He likes his work and often goes to work on time.
One day he left his office at twelve. He went to eat something. As soon as he went out of the gate, he met an old friend. They hadn’t seen each other for about five years. They were very happy. His friend asked him to drink. He agreed with him, and they went into a restaurant. There they drank a lot. Then his friend said, “Perhaps you’ve drunk too much. Let me help you get to your office.” “No, no,” said Mr Johnson. “My office is only two minutes’ walk. I can go there by myself.”
When his friend left, it was hard for him to stand. He was afraid to be late and stopped a taxi. When he got on, the driver asked, “Where are you going, sir?”
“To Park Street.”
“Oh! Sorry, sit,” the driver said in a hurry, “It’s just the Park Street.”
“OK!” Mr Johnson said and got off. He brought out some money and threw it to the driver. He shouted, “But don’t drive so fast next time!”
1．Mr Johnson lives in a village. （Mr Brown got up late this morning. He was going to be late for work. It was raining hard and the streets were wet. He drove so fast that he didn’t see the red lights. He couldn’t stop his car and hit a car. An old man got out of the car and called out angrily, “What are you doing? How can you drive so fast?”
“I’m sorry, sir,” said Mr Brown, “I didn’t see the lights turn red.” Then he brought out a bottle of wine and gave it to the old man.
“It’s cold today, sir,” said Mr Brown, “Please drink a little, and then you’ll get warm.”
The old man drank some wine and became happy. He said, “I’m feeling much better now. Why don’t you drink any?”
“I can’t drink anything now, sir,” answered Mr Brown, “I’m waiting for the policeman. Only drunkards (酒鬼；醉鬼) cause accidents, you know!”
