I always enjoy the drive{{U}} (36)
{{/U}}Marley. It is a good straight road, with some {{U}}(37) {{/U}}
views of the countryside on{{U}} (38) {{/U}}side. There are woods and
hills, villages and farms and about halfway, a large lake. And because there is
{{U}}(39) {{/U}} much traffic on the road, I can usually enjoy the
{{U}}(40) {{/U}} as I drive along. I was{{U}} (41)
{{/U}}annoyed the other morning, therefore, when a small green car began to
drive very close behind me. I went {{U}}(42) {{/U}} faster,
{{U}}(43) {{/U}} to leave the car behind. But {{U}}(44) {{/U}} I
slowed down, the little car {{U}}(45) {{/U}} me, the driver, a
middle-aged man, was smiling and waving to me. {{U}}(46) {{/U}} ,I did
not recognize either him or the car. "Perhaps I am {{U}}(47)

both {{U}}(48) {{/U}}. And I certainly had not got a puncture(穿孔). The
man {{U}}(49) {{/U}}a madman, I decided. {{U}}(50) {{/U}} rather
angry, I drove off very fast, leaving the small green car behind. I did
not slow down {{U}}(51) {{/U}} I got to Marley. There
are some {{U}}(52) {{/U}}just before you cross the railway bridge into
Marley and, as it happened, the lights {{U}}(53) {{/U}} red as I drove
near. I was {{U}}(54) {{/U}} waiting there when the little green car
caught up with me. The driver {{U}}(55) {{/U}} and
tapped on my window. I opened it, " {{U}}(56) {{/U}} ?" I asked rather
{{U}}(57) {{/U}} "I'm trying to help you!" The man said. "You see, your
number plate fell off about fifteen miles {{U}}(58) {{/U}}. I
tried to attract your {{U}}(59) {{/U}}but you didn't {{U}}(60)
