Passage Four
One evening Mr. Green was driving home along a lonely country road. He had £ 100.00 in his pock et. At the loneliest part of the road, a man asked for a lift (搭车). Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued his driving. When he talked to the man and learned that the man had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days before, Mr. Green was very worried.
Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed limit (限制速度) was 30 miles an hour. But he drove the car as fast as it could go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase (追) him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook (赶上) him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Green's car. Mr. Green hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the man had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr. Green's name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said, "No, you will have to appear at the police station later." Mr. Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on.
Just as he reached the outskirts (郊区) of London, the passenger said, "! want to get off here." Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, "Thanks for the lift. You've been good to me. This is the least I can do in return (报答)." And he handed Mr. Green the policeman's notebook, which he stole while the policeman was talking to Mr. Green.
46. The man asking for a lift was ______.

B. a policeman who had worked in prison
C. a prisoner who had escaped from prison

He was sent to prison for sixty days. When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The Clerk(职员)he spoke to was a new man.

On a Saturday night, Mr. Jones went to Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday. His four men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out hunting, without bothering (麻烦) to feed the animals.
When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the News of the World over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the store-house with her horns (角) and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.
It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. And the men came back. The next moment he and his four men were in the store-house with whips in their hands, whipping (鞭打) in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with their horns and kicked from all sides.
