One summer day last year, I visited a city in France in my car. It was late in the afternoon. I couldn't find
the way to the Garden Hotel. When I drove (驾驶) for a long time, I saw a beautiful young woman. She took
a lot of bags with her and came out of a supermarket. I stopped and asked her, "Excuse me, madam. Can you
tell me the way to the Garden Hotel?" "The Garden Hotel? Sure. But it may be difficult for you to find it now.
I'll show you the way if you like."
     "Oh! Thank you very much. Please get into my car."
     Then I helped her put the bags in my car. An hour later, we came to a big house. The young woman said,
"Please stop here."
     I stopped and looked at the house."But this is not a hotel." I said to her.
     "No." she answered with a smile,"This is my house. And now let me show you the way to the Garden
Hotel. Go along the street and turn right on the first turning. Then you can easily find the Garden Hotel on
your left. It's only a two-minute ((分钟) drive from here. And thank you for driving me home."
     Then she took up all the bags and walked to her home.

     A young man was walking through the street one day and he was very thirsty.
     Finally he went into a shop and asked the shopkeeper,"How much are these cakes you have here?"
     "Five cents each," was the answer.
     "I'll give you ten cents for three of them."
     "All right," said the shopkeeper.
     So the young man took three cakes and then began looking at some other things in the shop."How much
is this wine?" he asked.
     "Ten cents a glass."
     "Well, I'm more thirsty than hungry. Please take back the cakes and give me a glass of wine."

the shop.
