　　The weather was very cold. Snow was falling. The roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing. It was not a good night to be outside.

　　Thomas, however, had to walk home from work. He had to walk along a country road. As he walked the cold wind beat against his chest.

　　“I'll be warmer,” he thought, “If I wear my coat backwards (向后地).”

　　He stopped walking for a moment, took off his coat, and put it back on backwards.

　　“That's much better,” he thought, and walked on through the thickly falling snow.

　　A few minutes later a car hit him. The driver of the car had not seen him soon enough. When he tried to stop, the car skidded (滑行) on the ice.

　　The driver got out of his car and ran to help Thomas. Soon a police car arrived. The policeman ran to look at Thomas who was lying on the ground.

　　“I'm afraid he's dead,” he told the driver.

　　The driver could not believe this. “He can't be dead.” he cried,“I hardly touched him. Look at my car. There's not a mark on it.”

　　“He's dead.” the policeman said. “There is no doubt (疑问).”

　　“I don't understand it,” the driver of the car said. “As soon as I hit him, I ran to help him. He was lying in the road, but he was breathing and there was no blood (血).”

　　“Did you touch him?” the policeman asked.

　　“Yes,” the driver of the car said. “but only to turn his head around the right way.”
