I came to the UK with my friends for a short visit . we are living with an English couple ,Mr. and Mrs.Green ,in the west of London. They have a wonderful four –bedroom house . This is a new house . It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own .
There are some shopping centres and restaurants near the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about thirty minutes to get to the centre of London.

We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf. It stood outside a furniture（家具）shop. “Buy it,” she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack（车顶架）. I’ve always wanted one like that.” What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too. As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake（超车）?” Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers（警官）inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church（教堂）. One of the officers came to me. “Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?” I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve been very kind. I live just down the road.” He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was--er, something else.” My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood why the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a bookshelf, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

小题2:What made the writer think that carrying furniture was “a good idea”?| A．He could drive slowly and it was safe. | | B．Other drivers would let him go first. | | C．His wife could use a new bookshelf. | | D．He could save a lot of money and time. |
小题3:Why were the police and other drivers so kind to the writer?| A．Because they thought the writer liked studying very much and needed a bookshelf. | | B．Because they didn’t think it was polite to overtake a car with a bookshelf on it. | | C．Because they thought somebody in the writer’s family had died and he needed help. | | D．Because they thought it was dangerous to carry a bookshelf on a car. |
小题4:When did the officers begin to realize（意识到）they had made a mistake?| A．Before they arrived at the church. | | B．Before they overtook the writer’s car. | | C．After one of them looked at the flowers and the bookshelf carefully at the church. | | D．After the writer’s family left the church. |
