　　Mr．Brown(the motorist)

　　At about 9∶20 p. m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick．I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends．I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right．In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me．I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right．Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road．Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger’s(near)side the car．I stopped the car and got out．A motorcycle had hit my car．The motorcyclist had been thrown over the car．He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help．

　　Mr．Smith(the injured motorcyclist)

　　On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown．I was riding my motorcycle．I was going slowly because some of the streetlights were out and the road was wet and slippery．Just before Sturham Road, a car suddenly drove right across my path．The driver did not flash his lights to give a warning．I would not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car．When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital in Market Road．

　　Mr．Lee(another motorcyclist)

　　At about 9∶10 p. m. on October 14th, I left my home in Midwick．Ten minutes later I was riding my motorcycle along Market Road．I was going to Newtown．There was a motorcycle about 40 metres in front of me．It was not going very quickly．The man on it was riding near the curb(路邊)but I was near the center of the road．The motorcyclist in front of me tried to turn to his right but there was no time．He hit the car and was injured．There was no car going along in front of us or put by the road．

根據(jù)三個(gè)人的描述，可知Newtown和Midwick處在同一條路線上，但方向相對(duì)，兩位騎摩托車的人都是從Midwick到Newtown，而司機(jī)是行駛在去Midwick的方向上，正當(dāng)他向右拐進(jìn)Sturham路時(shí)，被迎面過(guò)來(lái)的摩托車撞在汽車的左邊。

(2)

根據(jù)布朗先生和第一位騎摩托車的人的描述可知，布朗先生把摩托車燈誤認(rèn)為是汽車的燈，而且認(rèn)為對(duì)面的汽車距離很遠(yuǎn)，所以他才向右拐到Sturham路上。

(3)

根據(jù)布朗先生的描述，他當(dāng)時(shí)從車中伸出手示意他要拐彎。

(4)

英國(guó)的汽車中，司機(jī)座在右邊；乘客座在左邊。

Cosmo Books Ltd．,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　14, Woodman Road,

Hertford Estate, 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Two Bridges,

Rickmansworth, 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　West Sussex．

Middx．

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　25th February

Sir,

　　Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare．Your company, Cosmo books Ltd．, offered this set(eight books of plays and two books of poetry)at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price：fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing．I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them．

　　Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered．So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare．Two more weeks passed．Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French．Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all．However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice．

　　You did not reply to that letter．Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German．Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have．The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside．

　　I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me．

　　Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment．Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid．

Yours faithfully,

SIMON WALKER
