Three travelers, Allan, Carl and Paul were sitting on the chairs in a train station. They were waiting for a train that was very late.

To kill time, they began talking to each other.

At first, they talked about the weather and their work. Then Paul said, “Tell me-what would you most like to do if your doctor tells you that you have only three months to live?”

The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke.

“Well,” he said, “if I have only three months to live, I’ll take all my money out of the bank and go to foreign countries for holidays with my best friend, Erik. I’d like to travel to the places in the world as many as possible. And I’ll stay at the best hotels and then eat the best food. I think I’ll have a wonderful time.”

“That’s very interesting.” Paul said.

With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, “And what about you?”

“I’ll tell you a secret,” Allan said. “I always want to be a racing driver. So if I have only three months to live, the first thing I’d like to do is to sell my house. With the money I’ll buy the fastest car in the world. Perhaps I can enter all the big motor races.”

Then he laughed, “I might even end up world champion (冠軍).”

“Now it’s your turn,” Allan went on, “If your doctor tell you the bad news, what would you most like to do?”

“Oh,” said Paul with a smile. “_____________________________”

“Haha! Why didn’t we think of that?” The three of them laughed together.

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.

Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. So, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.

Critics (批評家) think that Britain needs cheaper public transport. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about £100, for example. A 15-minute bus trip can cost over £1.00.

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

任務(wù)1：閱讀短文，根據(jù)英文釋義及首字母提示拼寫單詞。

1.d_________ to become impossible to see

2.s_________ different from what is normal
