Question

Being not far from the sea, London is famous for its fog（霧）。The worst of them happened on December 4,1952. All movement in the town came to a stop. It was almost impossible to drive or ride in anything. The streets which lead to the center were filled with buses that moved two miles an hour. Soon, however, the traffic was stopped. Being left by their drivers, the buses and cars stood empty in the streets. Many who usually traveled by bus took underground（地鐵）. But there were so many people there that the gates had to be closed. Being caught in the fog, people felt their way along the walls of houses with one hand, while they put out the other in front of them so as not to knock against something or somebody.

   At the Opera House（歌劇院）they got through the first act（幕）of La Traviata before so much fog had spread into the building that the singers could not see the conductor.

   It was a terrible fog, indeed, and as many as 4 000 people in London lost their lives.
