The English are often described as unfriendly people who don’t talk to strangers（陌生人）。 But not London taxi drivers. I once asked one cabby to describe his life to me and he didn’t stop talking until I arrived home half an hour later. He told me many interesting stories and this is one of them.“Some strange things happen late at night. The other day I was taking a woman home from a party. She had her little dog with her. When we got to her house， she found that she’d lost her key. So， I waited in the cab with her dog while she climbed in through the window.”
“I waited and waited. After half an hour of ringing the bell I decided to find out what was going on. I tied the dog to a tree and started to climb in through the window. The next thing I knew was that the police came. They thought I was to rob the house！ Luckily， the woman came downstairs. She’d gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the dog. I was in such a hurry to get away that I forgot to ask her for the fare.”

When you walk along a street in a big city in the United States， you may see clocks in most stores. Radio announcers give the correct time during the day. People there think that it is important to know the time. Most Americans have watches. They want to do certain things at certain times. They do not want to be late. Not all people all over the world value time. Suppose you visit a certain country in South America. You would find that people living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment（约会）with someone， he would probably be late. He would not care for arriving on time. In some countries in South America， even the radio programs may not begin right on time， nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the right time. Many people regard a clock as a machine. It seems to them that a person who does everything on time is controlled（控制）by a machine. They do not want a clock or any machine to have that much power over their lives.

I must tell you about the most terrible dream I had the other night. Actually， it wasn't a dream， it was 21 of a nightmare.

It was a 25 night， with the wind howling and the thunder crashing but finally I 26 to get to sleep. What happened next was really 27 . There， at the end of the bed， stood a dark figure. I'm not exaggerating（夸张）—— 28 I could really see it. It was dark in the room， of course， but I saw the 29 of the figure clearly. I know not all ghosts are 30 ， but this one looked really terrifying. Then it spoke. At 31 ， it made some sounds； it was moaning（呻吟）， as if in 32 . You can imagine by this time I was trembling 33 . Hiding under the blankets， I was 34 from head to foot. What terrified me was the thought that the thing might 35 me. I knew if it did， I would 36 . It kept on making strange sounds which now sounded more like 37 or spells. Was it some kind of witch， sent to 38 its magic on me， I wondered. Then it 39 into the wall. How I fell asleep again is still a 40 to me.
