新視野大學(xué)英語視聽說教程第二冊(cè) Unit 8 Task 2: Two Concert Tickets

After shopping for most of the day, a couple return to find their car has been stolen. They go to the

police station to make a full report. Then, a police officer drives them back to the parking lot to

see if any evidence can be found at the scene of the crime. To their surprise, the car has been

returned. There is an envelope on the windshield with a note of apology and two tickets to a

concert. The note reads, “I apologize for taking your car, but my wife was having a baby and I

had to use your car to rush her to the hospital. Please forgive the inconvenience. Here are two

tickets for tonight’s concert.” The couple feel relieved. After all, most human beings are kind, they

think. They go to the concert and return home late. They find their house has been robbed.

Valuable goods have been taken. And there is a note on the door reading, “Well, you still have

your car. I have to put my newly-born kid through college somehow, don’t I?”
