"We"re more than halfway (中途) now; it"s only two miles farther to the tavern (客栈)," said the driver.
"I"m glad of that," answered the stranger, in a more sympathetic way. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man"s throat if he tried to speak. The girl"s voice was quite attractive; however, later he spoke again.
"You don"t feel the cold so much at twenty below zero in the Western country. There isn"t such damp chill (潮冷)", he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a bad day, and he began to be conscious of a warm hopefulness of spirit, and sense of pleasant adventure under all the woolen scarves.
"You"ll have a cold drive going back," he said anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible.
"I shall not have to go back!" cried the girl, with eager pleasantness. "I"m on my way home now. I drove over early just to meet you at the train. We had word that someone was coming to the tavern."A. I"ll catch up on my reading to kill time B. There isn"t a cloud in the sky

Mary: We couldn"t ask for a better day, could we
John: I know. 1 . I love this time of the year.
Mary: This bus seems to be running late, doesn"t it 2
John: I"ve been here for at least ten minutes.
Mary: Ah, here comes a bus!
John: Oh good. Wait! 3 . That bus goes downtown.
Mary: Well, it looks like we"ll be waiting a little longer. 4 , I guess.
John: Oh, I"m afraid you have no time for that. Here"s our bus.
Mary: Oh great! I thought it would never come.
John: 5 !
Mary: You too.Most banks in the U.S. open at 9:00 or 10:00 and close between 3:00 and 5:00, but stay open later on Fridays. Some banks have longer hours in order to attract customers.
What"s the best way to carry money safely while you are traveling There are three possibilities—personal checks from your country, travelers checks and credit cards. Some American banks accept foreign checks such as Eurocheques; the problem is that only those banks that are used to dealing with foreigners will know what Eurocheques are.
It may be more convenient to carry travelers checks, which are insured against loss. They should be in dollars, because only a few banks do much business in foreign currencies. If your checks aren"t in dollars, it may take you a long time to find a bank that will exchange them. You can use travelers checks almost anywhere—in restaurants, stores or ticket offices—without having to go to a bank. If you run out of them, you can buy more at most banks. Their service charge will vary, though, so ask what it is before you buy your checks.
Americans would say the best way to carry money is to have a major credit card like Vise, Card or American Express. Credit cards can be canceled if they are lost or stolen. And because they are widely accepted in the U.S., it is easy to use them to pay for lodging, transportation, meals and things you want to buy from larger stores.
Of course, you can"t get along without cash, but you don"t need to carry much with you.When you pat your pet dog, he wags (摆来摆去) his tail. That is his way of saying that he loves you. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness; if his tail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight; and if his tail is tucked (塞) behind his legs, it means he is giving up the fight.
Unlike dogs, cats" tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs himself up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, he lashes out (甩动) his tail.
The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats had not become friends with human beings, they were predators . They used to hunt other animals for their food. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were close to each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance communication, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language too often. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs"."We"re more than halfway (中途) now; it"s only two miles farther to the tavern (客栈)," said the driver.
