臥心基宛才盾裂>>

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.

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.
