Read the following
passage and give the answer of questions:
I looked on anxiously at the
clock: he was late, it was midnight and I was worried to death. What could I do
? If I rang the police and then just he truned up on the doostep I’d feel such
a fool.
I
knew I had to pull myself together, so I put the kttle on and made myself a cup
of strong black coffee to calm my nerves. Suddenly, the door bell rang and
somehow I knew that something dreadful had happened. I opened the door, “My.
Smith? I’m Constable Jones. I’m afraid there has been an accident.”
I
cannot remember anything about the next few hours; it was just like a
nightmare. I just could not believe that it was happening to me. Everybody was
very kind, of course: they did what they could do to help and everyone said
that time was a great healer. My neighbour were marvelous – they could not do
enough for me. But Rover, run over by a bus! Tears kept on rolling. No other
dog would ever be the same.
