Once there was an old man in a town. He always forgot _______ things. So his wife always had to say to him, “Don’t forget this!”

One day he went on a long trip alone. Before he _______ home, his wife said, “Now you have all these _______. They are what you need for your trip. Take care of your things during the trip.” He went to the station, bought a ticket and _______ the train with it.

About half _______ hour later, the conductor (列车员) began to see the tickets. He came to the old man and _______ “Will you please show me your ticket?” The old man looked for his ticket in all his pockets, but he could not find _______. He was very worried. “I can’t find my ticket. I really bought a ticket _______ I got on the train,” said the old man.

“I believe you bought a ticket. All right, you don’t have to buy _______ one,” said the conductor kindly. “But how can I know where I’m going? I can’t ________ my station!” the old man said sadly.

Welcome to England! The weather of England is very changeable (易变的). It can be rainy, sunny, cloudy, windy, foggy, warm or cold at any time of year. If it’s raining when you get up in the morning, it can be hot and dry by the afternoon. The west of England is humid (湿润的), and the north is cool. Just be ready for any kind of weather.

In England, shops are usually open from 9:00 in the morning to 5:30 in the afternoon. On Sundays some shops are open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. But a lot of shops are closed. Banks, museums and other places are open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. You can go to the parks at any time.

All the cities have buses, trains and taxis. People wait in line (排队) for buses and they are unhappy if you push in (插队) at the front. Remember this—cars go on the left.

Be careful and enjoy your time here.
