"It's 8:45 on a Sunday morning, "said the policeman, "and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure at such a time. Would you mind explaining？"
The man was obviously startled but kept calm immediately. He said, "I know what you' re thinking, officer, but it isn' t true. This is a very funny mistake. " " It' s part of my job to take an interest in unusual events. I think you' ve just left this house in a manner other than the customary one. That may be quite innocent, but I' d like to make sure. "James took out his notebook and a pen. "Name, address and occupation and then, please, tell me what happened. "
"Charlie Lewis, lorry driver, from Nottingham, 52 Brecon Street. My story. . . "" Yes. What were you doing like a fly on that wall, Mr. Lewis？ . . . . Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay the night here. Bed and breakfast. The landlady' s name is Mrs. Crane. She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out of here in the right way and down at the lorry by half past. It was only when I felt around for a cigarette I found I' d left $ 90 in my pay envelope under the pillow here at number 25. I always put it under my pillow at night. It' s a habit I' ve got into. I even do it at home. . . "
"I see. Why didn't you miss it when you went to pay Mrs. . . What's her name？ . . . . I'd paid her last night. You' ve got to pay when you take the room, right？ So I came rushing back, but it's Sunday, and she' d gone back to bed, and could I wake her？ I rang the bell and banged on the front door for several minutes before I came round here to the back spotting my bedroom window still open. Up I went, then, up this pipe. It' s a trick I learnt in the army. She hadn' t made the bed, and the money was still there. You know the rest, and I hope you believe it because. . . "
"Mr. Lewis, whatever are you doing here？ I thought you' d gone one hour and a half ago. "It was Mrs. Crane, speaking from the kitchen window at the corner of the house.

听力原文：M: You're back. And right on schedule too. How was your holiday？
W: It was all right, I suppose.
M: You don't sound as though you enjoyed it very much. Where did you go？
W. I went home. I stayed with my family.
M: Where is your home？
W: It's in West Virginia. It's a quite small village in West Virginia. You know, going home really made me think how different my life would have been if I'd stayed there.
M: Why？ What would you have done？
W: Well, first of all, I probably would have married the boy I went steady with while I was in high school.
M: Would it have been a mistake if you had married him？
W: It would have been different, that's all. If I had married him, I probably would have stayed there in West Virginia for the rest of my life.
M: Would that have been so bad？
W: I would never have come to the city. I never would have tried to get a job.
M: But you've come to the city and had several jobs.
W: That's true. The thing is that after all these years of working, I am still a secretary or assistant to someone. No transfer. No promotion. It's so annoying and frustrating. I didn't come all the way up to the city for that, did I？
M: Do you think you'll ever go back to West Virginia to live？
W: Someday, maybe, but not until I've had more experience. I'd like to know that I could have real career if I wanted to.
M: Well, the first step in a successful career is to get some work done. Here are some letters that have to be answered right away.
W: All right, I'll take care of them. But you just wait. Someday I might be your boss!

听力原文：W: Don't you have any good news？
M: No. Yesterday I had to stay after school because I was talking during my science teacher's class.
W: You'd better keep quiet during class.
M: Sometimes I do. The day before yesterday, I was very quiet during my history teacher's class and I still had to stay after school.
W: Why？
M: Because I fell asleep in his class, but it was not my fault. His class was too boring.

I wasted a lot of time looking for the ‘typical’ village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions vary too widely. But the villages I stayed in had much in common——poverty, dirt, and ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, suspicious. Why had I come？ I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world' s people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first bad to try and share their Way of life.
In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began to climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After several hours' walk the village came into view.
