Mark Twain, the famous American writer, was traveling in France. Once he was going by train to Dijon .That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep, so he asked the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper. “I’ll probably protest (表示不滿) loudly when you try to wake me up,” he said to the conductor, “but do not take any notice, just put me off the train anyway.”

Then Mark Twain went to sleep. Later, when he woke up, it was night-time and the train was in Paris already. He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon. He was very angry. He ran up to the conductor and began to shout at him. “I have never been so angry in all my life,” Mark Twain said.

The conductor looked at him calmly(冷靜地). “You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off at Dijon,” he said.

Hi Eric,
　　We don’t have smog in Oxford. We get fog sometimes, but that’s all. Oxford is much smaller than LA. We only have about 135,000 people. I looked up the 1900 population, it was about 57,000. So it is about twice as many people, not ten times as many, like LA! Oxford is much smaller than London - London has about 7,000,000 people. So that means that LA has more people than London. LA gets hotter than Oxford. We have colder winters too – it can be -4°C in winter.
　　I’m not surprised that your new student only knew about the university. It is famous because it is one of the oldest universities in the country. There are about 18,000 students. The brother of my best friend is at Aberystwyth University, in Wales. There the population is 14,000 and half of that are students! It must be a strange place to live! There are more tourists in Oxford than students, I should think. We get a lot of tourists, all year round. We also get a lot of young foreign students because there are a lot of language schools here. You can stand in the middle of Oxford, close your eyes, and hear accents from all over the world!
　　Your e-mail friend, Ben
　　37. How many people are there in Oxford?

　　38. Which of the following is TRUE?
　　A. LA is much smaller than Oxford.
　　B. LA has fewer people than London.
　　C. LA gets hotter than Oxford.
　　D. LA has colder winters too.

　　39. What is Oxford famous for?
　　A. Fog.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Universities.
