　　　　7　　 Mrs．Jones came up to the judge, he looked at her seriously and said that she was 　　8　　 old to drive a car, and that the 　　9　　 why she had not stopped at the red 　　10　　 was most probably that her eyes had become weak 　　11　　 old age, so that she had simply not seen it．

　　When the judge had finished what he was 　　12　　, Mrs．Jones opened the big handbag she was 　　13　　 and took out her sewing．Without saying a word, she 　　14　　 a needle with a very small eye, and threaded it at her first attempt．

　　When she had 　　15　　 done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed 　　16　　 the needle and the thread to the judge, saying,“Now it is your 　　17　　．I suppose you drive a car, and that you are quite sure about your own eyesight．”

　　Last Friday night, October 2, after a long flight, my husband and I arrived at Beijing Airport for a meeting of the International Organization for Standardization to be held at the Yangxiang Hotel．We had, of course, many pieces of luggage(行李)and were very tired．Mr Xing Xilun and Mr Li Shuping of the Chinese organizing committee met us and managed to get us a large taxi．As soon as we arrived at the hotel, I found my purse lost．By the time I noticed the problem the taxi had left the hotel．

　　Luckily, more than a score people came to help me, not only working hard to solve the problem, but to comfort me．I cannot tell you all of their names, but I will remember each one of them as a friend．

　　First, Mr Xing and Mr Li drove us back to the airport to explain the problem to the police, write out a report, and try to find the taxi．Then, all of the policemen on duty went to work immediately, making phone calls．At last they found the taxi driver and had him check the taxi when it returned．There was my purse, in the back seat of it, where the driver couldn't possibly have seen it before．The driver immediately drove all the way back to the airport and returned my purse to the police station where I got my purse back．

　　It took a few more people to get the purse returned to me and by now it was very late at night．
