Passage one

Dear Mr. Brown, 

I know how disappointed you must be with my arriving late at our company’s annual dinner last night. It is really unfortunate that it has happened and I offer you my most humble apologies. Please understand that the last thing I wanted to do was to be late and offend you and the guests from the Head Office. My explanation is a simple one. I had left the key at home when I went to work in the morning. As you know, I live with my mother. To the best of my knowledge, she has no plans to go out in the afternoon. But when her friends called her to play bridge, she went completely forgetting that I had no key.

Hence I was standing outside the apartment in despair and called her to come home quickly. But because of the traffic jam, she arrived home at about 7:30 pm, when I should be at the dinner. You will understand that no matter how fast I was in dressing up, I was sure to be late.

Mr. Brown, please be assured that such a thing will never happen to me again.

  Yours sincerely, 

    Bob

Passage two

A tired postman from Turkey and a beautiful white swan have been inseparable for nearly four decades, and the story of their amazing friendship has melted the hearts of millions. When he spotted a wounded swan in a field, Recep had no idea that he was about to meet his best friend. He was in a car with a group of friends, when he noticed that the swan appeared to have a broken wing. He realized that leaving the bird there was the same as signing its death sentence, as it might be eaten by a predator(食肉动物). So he took the bird home and started nursing it back to health.

After recovery, the swan didn’t try to fly away. Instead, she befriended other animals on the farm, busy following her human friend around, either during his daily chores, or on his evening walks. Having no children, Recep regarded the swan as his child and named her Garip. Now she has been with him for the last 37 years.

“She comes when I call. She has never left me, not even during the river floods,” the retired postman said. “She used to be more vigorous, but she has grown old now. If she dies, I will make her a nice grave here.”

C. In a field. D. Under a car

A. It was lost. B. One leg was hurt.
