愤怒的女人站在车站旁边。“铁路欠我12英镑，”她对订票员哈利·詹克斯说。“我的机票是5月22日，那天晚上没有从泽西岛来的船。我和女儿不得不住在旅馆里。花了我12英镑。\哈利很担心。他记得卖给那个女人一张往返票。“到办公室来，夫人，”他说，“我去查查5月22日的泽西岛时间表。\女人和她的小女孩跟着他进去。哈利很快发现，她说得很对。5月22日没有航行。他怎么会犯这么大的错误？他不知道该怎么办，对着孩子笑了笑。“你看起来很健康，”他对她说。“你在泽西度假愉快吗？\“是的，”她回答。“海滩很美。我也会游泳！\“那很好，”哈利说。“我的小女孩还不会游泳。当然，她才三岁——” “我四岁了，”孩子骄傲地说。“我马上就四点半了。\\哈利转向母亲。“我记得你的票，夫人，”他说。“可是你没有给你女儿弄一个，是吗？\\“呃，嗯——”女人看着孩子。“我是说——她还没开始上学。她才四岁。\\“一个四岁的孩子一定有票，夫人。一个孩子回到泽西岛要花13.50英镑。所以如果铁路支付你的旅馆账单，你就欠1.50英镑。法律就是法律，但既然我们犯了错误——” 女人站起来，拉着孩子的手离开了办公室。
The angry woman stood by the station. “ The railway owes me ￡12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the booking clerk (订票员). “My ticket was for May 22nd, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”
“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”
“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return to Jersey costs----let me see----￡13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel bill, you will owe ￡1.50.The law is the law, but since we have made a mistake-----”
The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

Researches say people traveling in traffic are three times more likely to suffer a heart attack. They say the risk of a heart attack is greatest within an hour of being in traffic.
The findings are based on a German study of almost 700 people who suffered heart attacks. The patients described their activities during the four days before their heart attack. Researchers found that those who had been in traffic were three times more likely to have a heart attack within one hour, compared to those who had not been in traffic. Most of those in the study had been traveling by car. But some had been on bicycles and others were on buses.
Research shows that people in cars and buses are exposed to ten times the amount of pollutants as people walking on the street. That is largely because they breathe in the particles and gasses released from the vehicles in front of them.
Over time, these small particles speed the buildup of a sticky substance in the blood. This can cause blockages(阻塞) to form in the arteries(动脉) around the heart and lead to a heart attack.
Other studies have also linked heart trouble to stress, similar to the kind that people face while driving in heavy traffic. But the researchers of the latest study say they do not know whether the increased heart attack risk was the result of stress or pollution. They suggest it may be a combination of stress, noise and pollution. Experts say the research shows the need fro cleaner vehicles and better city planning.
1. According to the study, which of the following ways is the safest in traffic? A. Driving a car B. Walking on the street C. Taking a bus D. Riding a bicycle
2. From among the 700 people who suffered heart attacks we learn that ______. A. those who have been in traffic are three times as many as those who have not B. those who have been in traffic for more than one hour are most likely to suffer heart attacks
C. the risk of a heart attack is three higher among those who have been in traffic than those who have not
