Yesterday, John went for a bus ride to the countryside. The bus was not full and he had a good seat at the front.
For about an hour they were on the freeway(高速公路). Then, they turned off and drove along a narrow (狭窄的) country road. Soon the road began to climb. They left several villages behind and came to a forest. There was very little sunlight and it was quite dark.
When they got to the top of the hill, the driver parked the bus. They all got out. It was very cold. John wanted to go for a walk, but the bus driver said it looked like rain. He wanted to leave before the rain came.
When they were halfway down the hill, John remembered something. On the way up the hill there had been an old lady sitting behind him. She wasn't sitting there now. He looked round the bus. There wasn't any old lady on the bus anywhere.
John told the driver about her. The driver had to turn the bus around and go up the hill again. When they got to the top, the old lady was waiting in the rain for the bus. She thanked John for re-membering her.
Where did John sit on the bus on the way up the hill?
【参考译文】
昨天,约翰乘大巴去了乡下。大巴上人不多,他在前排找了一个好位置。
在高速公路上行驶了一个小时后,大巴掉头驶进一条狭窄的乡村小路。很快道路就变得陡峭了。路过几个村庄后他们来到了一片森林。森林里几乎没有什么阳光,非常昏暗。
当他们到达山顶时,司机将车停好。他们都下了车。天非常冷.约翰想去散个步,但是司机说天好像要下雨了,他想下雨前离开此地。
当他们下到半山腰的时候,约翰突然想到一个事情。他们上山的时候,有一个老太太坐在他的后面。但是现在她不在那了。他环视了一下车内,也没有老太太的身影。、约翰把这件事告诉了司机。司机掉头又往山上开。当他们到达山顶的时候,那个老太太正在雨中等车。她非常感谢约翰还记得她。
