Whenever there was a thick fog in the city, the first person to arrive late usually wrote “Delayed by fog” under the red line in the book, and then everybody else who came after that just put “ditto” underneath.
But one foggy morning, the first man to arrive late wrote “My wife had a baby early this morning” instead of “Delayed by fog” under the red line in the book. Twenty or thirty people who came after him put “ditto” underneath this as usual.

A waitress was clearing away the remains of a meal which must have been eaten by at least forty people. She gave me a menu which I examined for a minute and I then ordered from her fried chicken and salad and a glass of wine. The waitress brought the wine at once but I had to wait a long time for the rest of the meal. When it came, there was so much on the plate that it must have been a whole chicken. I tasted a little first and it was so delicious that I ate all of it. I was now neither hungry nor thirsty and as a matter of fact, I was no longer tired either.

“Perhaps you’re right, Jim,” replied George after a moment’s hesitation.
So they went to a dance and had an enjoyable time. But George drank more than he was used to, and by midnight Jim had become worried about him, so he said, “Now we’ll walk home in the cool air.”
On their way home, they came to a bridge, and George looked down at the river below attentively. The stars were reflected in its smooth surface.
“What are those lights down there?” George inquired.
“They’re the stars, George.” Jim replied.

“Oh, that’s nothing.” The Irishman answered quickly. “The Irish are going to send some men to the sun in a few months’ time. That’s much farther away from the moon, you know.”
The Englishman was very surprised when he heard this. “Oh, yes, it is,” he said, “but the sun’s too hot for people to go to.”
The Irishman laughed and answered, “Well, the Irish aren’t stupid, you know. We won’t go to the sun during the day, of course. We’ll go there during the night.”

II. Read the following passage: (20 scores)
I have never believed in superstitions. I have always thought that they were foolish. For example, I have always heard that walking under a ladder brings bad luck, but I’ve never believed it. I have walked under ladders many times, but nothing has ever happened. It’s the same with black cats. I’ve never believed that a black cat crossing your path brought bad luck-never until this afternoon: But ever since I heard what happened to my student Sam, I have been wondering about this superstition business.
A few days ago Sam was walking down Main Street thinking about something, so he wasn’t paying attention to where he was going and he walked right under a ladder leaning against a building. A black cat ran out of a doorway just at that moment, and Sam fell over it. His shoulder hit the ladder. A man painting the building was at the top of that ladder. His bucket of yellow paint fell down to the ground. Poor Sam. He was a mess.

An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man, and he quickly spent all the money, so that soon he had nothing left. Of course, when that happened, all his friends left him. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see his uncle, who was a kind, clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles.
“My money has finished and my friends have gone,” said the young man. “What will happen to me now?”
“Don’t worry, young man.” Answered his uncle. “Everything will soon be all right again. Wait, and you will soon feel much happier.”
The young man was very glad. “Am I going to get rich again then?” he asked his uncle.
“No, I didn’t mean that,” said the old man. “ I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and to having no friends.”
