Iris is very forgetful and so she worries a lot. She worries a lot and so she becomes even more forgetful. She also talks to herself a lot. One day, she has her hat and coat on and is just about to open the front door. She stops for a moment. "Is the electric cooker off?" Iris never forgets to turn the cooker off but she goes back to the kitchen to make sure. Yes, the cooker is off. "But is the TV off in the sitting room?" She goes to the sitting room and feels a knob (旋钮) on the TV set. "Yes, I don"t usually forget that. Oh dear! It"s getting a bit late. I don"t want to miss that train." So she goes back to the front door and opens it. She is going through the doorway when she stops suddenly. "My key! It"s somewhere in my handbag, I think. No, it"s not in my purse; not in the front pocket. Ah, I know! Yes, it"s in my coat pocket. Thank goodness! I must run all the way." Halfway down the garden path she looks at the sky, which is covered with grey clouds. "I know it"s going to rain. And that bedroom window is wide open. I must close it. I suppose I can catch the next train." She opens the door again, putting the key back in her handbag. She throws her handbag on the hall table, rushes upstairs and closes the window. Then she runs downstairs and straight out of the house, closing the door behind her noisily. But she doesn"t catch either the first or the second train. And it doesn"t rain all day.

Britain"s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money-to make the trip from his house near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse. Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling =1/20 pound) return from Swansea-too much I thought. All my money went to the family then," he said. During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament (国会). The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired. "I don"t like the chair business-people will so think I am getting old," he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized-no alcohol, no cigarette and no angry. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, "I"m glad to see they"ve given me a return ticket." | |||||||||||||||||||||
