  He sat down in one of the chairs.The air was better here, spoilt only by the smell of cigarette smoke.This room was obviously used not only as a place of useless junk and of diseased patients but also as a resting room where people could drop in for a quiet smoke.

  There was complete silence all around him.He was aware at last-the realization came to him gradually-that this was really the end, it was all over, he could simply get up and go.But he had no place to go and no reason for going.He closed his eyes, and from the very depth of his being he felt a desperate sorrow rising:like dogs, here and there, like dogs on a rubbish heap.She is gone forever.He heard a soft rustling(瑟瑟聲)sound and, looking up, saw crows silently flying against the grey autumn sky, just like when they were small children and went racing out into the fields.The sight calmed him a little, and he waited for the familiar sounds, but nothing came, nothing disturbed the silence all about him.

  Some people do not like anything to be out of place, they are never late for work; they return their books to the library on time; they remember people's birthday and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Dodds is such a person.

  Mr. Dodds works in a bank, and lives alone. The only family he has were in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Dodds does not see his sister, or his family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Mark's seventeen birthdays. Last week Mr. Dodds had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time and drove neither too slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. At once, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Dodds opened the door to find a policeman standing at the door.

  

  “What have I done wrong?”Mr Dodds asked himself.“Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?”

閱讀理解

  A few days ago I asked my son's governess(女家庭教師)Julia to come into my study.“Be seated, Julia,”I said, “Let's settle our accounts.I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you're too polite to mention it.Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month…”

  “Forty.”

  “No, thirty.I made a note of it.I always pay our governess thirty.Well, um, you've been here two months, so…”

  “Two months and five days.”

  “Exactly two months.I made a special note of it.That means you have sixty dollars coming to you.Take off nine Sundays…you know you didn't work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks.And three holidays…”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but-not a word.

  “Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars.Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied(從事)only with Dick.Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch.Twelve and seven-nineteen.Take nineteen off…that leaves…h(huán)mm…forty one dollars.Correct?”

  Julia's left eye reddened with tears welling up.Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but-still not a word.

  “Around New Year's Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars.The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but - forget it.When didn't I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect(疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten.Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick's shoes.You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it.So, that means five more dollars off.The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”

  “You didn't.” sobbed Julia.

  “But I made a note of it.”

  “Well…if you say so.”

  “Take twenty seven from forty one-that leaves fourteen.”

  Both her eyes were filled with tears.Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose.Poor girl!

  “Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife.Three dollars, nothing more.”

  “Really? You see now, and I didn't know that! Take three from fourteen-that leaves eleven.Here's your money, my dear.Three, three, three, one and one.Here it is!”

  I handed her eleven dollars.She took them and pocketed them.

  “Merci(法語:謝謝),”she whispered.

  I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room.I was overcome with anger.“For what, this ‘merci'?” I asked.

  “For the money.”

  “But you know I've cheated you-robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci'?”

  “In my other places they didn't give me anything at all.”

  “They didn't give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you...I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you...Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)?Why didn't you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)-to be such a fool?”

  Embarrassed, she smiled.And I could read her expression, “It is possible.”

  I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars.She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out.I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush(壓榨)the weak in this world !”
