It was just getting dark; there was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. But I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I 1 to Salisbury.
I was going along 2 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a woman’s scream—“ 3 !”I looked round, but the only 4 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking car just 5 a bend in the road about a hundred yards 6 .That was 7 the cry had come from. I 8 speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, 9 he did the same and began to draw away from me. As I drew near, the girl’s voice came again, a lovely voice but 10 with fear.
“Let me go, 11 fool; you’re hurting me. Oh! Oh!”
I felt my blood 12 . The fog was coming down thicker now; the countryside was lonelier. The man in the car had no 13 noticed this. Again came a cry.
“Drop the knife, fool. Oh!”Then a cry and a groan.
If I was to save her, it was now or 14 . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would 15 try to bring the murderer to the police station. The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its 16 , and its brakes screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and crashed into the ditch on the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out, mad with anger.
“Fool!”he shouted 17 he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was quicker than he. I put all I knew into 18 that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It caught him right on the ground without a 19 .I rushed to the car, 20 open the door and peered inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.
“You have been listening to a radio play. Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately.”

Every summer, a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the 1 are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and 2 .The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the 3 of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain(逗乐)kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are 4 jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not easy to find work,“ 5 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,”says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on 6 for students.“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak 7 .British students only have a language 8 for jobs in the USA and Australia.”

The two teachers with the children had never been 10 .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was 11 home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 12 they made, and Sarah herself was robbed on her only 13 evening of the entire trip.“I did visit a lot of new places,” she says,“but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was 14 and it really was a 24 hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”
“The trouble is, students expect to have 15 time of it.”Anthea Ellis points out.“ 16 ,they see it as a holiday. In practice, 17 ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual(临时)work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. 18 ,you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that employs you. But you have 19 employment rights. As soon as the holiday season 20 ,they’ll get rid of you.”
