Question

  Jerry Baldwin,30 years old,owned a pizza restaurant. He lived in a flat about one mile north of the restaurant. He walked to and from work. When it was raining,he took the bus.

 Jerry loved gangster (匪徒) movies. When a new one came out,he would go to the theatre and watch the new movie three or four times. Then,when it went to video,Jerry would buy the video at Barndy’s Video Store. Jerry had a big collection of over 1，000 gangster videos from Europe—he loved them all. He could tell you the name of the movie,the director,the stars,and the story.
