We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜厨) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack (车顶行李架). I’ve always wanted one like that.”
　 What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
　 In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
　 After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.
　“Right, sir,” he said.“Do you need any more help?”
　I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”
　 He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”
　 My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “ Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.”I drove home as fast as I could.
【小题1】 In fact the husband _______ the cupboard.

　　My wife and I spent two weeks in England last year. We went there in the autumn. We think it is the best 1 to visit England. The weather is 2 quite good and there aren't 3 visitors in October.

　　We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient 4 we did most of our sightseeing on foot. Taxis were too 5 . We couldn't understand the bus routes, and my wife didn't like traveling on the underground. She said it made her feel 6 in.

　　We went to look at the places that all visitors see. We saw Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery and Piccadilly Circus. We 7 shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, 8 , was going to the theater. We don't have the 9 to see such wonderful plays at 10 . A lot of people say English food is very bad. We didn't think 11 . It's 12 that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.

　　In fact, we enjoyed our holiday 13 much that we have already booked again for this year. We are going to take our 14 , for I am 15 we'll need them sometimes.
