24、   July 16th was a bad day for Mr. Arthur Johnson. In the morning he got out of his home in Santa Barbara, California. It was the start of his summer holidays and he decided to visit friends at Las Vegas. Then he hoped to go fishing in Lane Mead, 40 km from Las Vegas.

Johnson’s troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car went wrong and he tried to repair it. Then, to make things worse, his attempts（尝试）to start the car drained(耗尽) the battery and left it useless. After Johnson had waited for an hour in the hot sun, a Canadian driver, Johnson Williams, stopped and tried to help him. When both men failed, Williams promised to telephone a workshop to ask it to send a truck to pull the car away and repair it.

Johnson left the keys in his car and sat under the large tree. Soon he fell asleep. While he was sleeping ,a repair truck arrived from San Pedro(the nearest town) and pulled his car away. Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. He started to walk back towards San Pedro but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert.

Johnson looked like an wanted man in Los Angels for robbery, so the police detained（拘留）him at San Pedro for the night. The next day, Johnson telephoned his friends in Los Angeles. They drove to San Pedro and made the police believe that Johnson was a harmless salesman, so they set him free（释放）.

25、   My name is Tim. Daddy didn't know how to show love. He went to work every day and blamed (责备) me for the mistakes I had made when he came home.

Once I broke my leg and it was Mum who held me in her arms all the way to the hospital.

Later, Dad pulled the car right up to the door of the hospital.

They asked him to move it, saying the space was saved for the ambulance(救护车). Dad shouted, “What do you think this is? A tour bus?”

At my birthday parties, Dad always seemed out of place. He just kept himself busy blowing up balloons, setting up tables, and welcoming the guests. It was Mum who carried the cake with the candles on it for me to blow out.

When I learned to ride a bike, I asked him not to leave me alone, but he said it was time. I fell and Mum ran to pick me up, but he stopped her. I was so mad that I showed him that I could ride it myself. He just smiled.

When I went to college, Mum did all the writing. He just sent money and a little note about how great his garden looked now just because I wasn't playing football on it.

Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk but always said, “Wait, Tim. I'll get your mother.”
