The homeless hero

    For many, finding an unattended (unnoticed) wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source (来源) of temptation (诱惑). But the urge (strong desire) would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. AU of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith even more remarkable.

    After spotting (noticing) a 1 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 2 to return.

    After hours in the cold and wet, he 3 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact the driver, only to discover it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.

    He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 4 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35,000—in Glasgow city center, they were shocked to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 5.

    The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his kindness.

    Mr. Anderson said, "I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 6 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and yet he didn't take the wallet for himself. He thought about others 7. It's unbelievable. It just proves there are honest guys out there.”

    Mr. Smith's act drew much of the public's attention He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson posted about the act of kindness on Facebook.

    Now Mr Anderson has set up an online activity to 8 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received £8,000. "I think the faith that everyone has shown 9 him has touched him. People have been approaching (coining near to) him in the street He's had job offers and all sorts,” Mr. Anderson commented.

    For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life—changing 10. The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.

    Every year, a magazine called Executive Travel organizes a competition to find the best airline of the year. Travelers from all over the world are invited to vote for the most punctual(准时的), the safest and the friendliest airline. The competition also invites them to tell their most frightening stories during their travels. Now let's read some travelers' tales of1 flying experiences.

    One traveler shared his story which happened on an African airline. The flight had been overbooked(超额预定).The flight staff picked the2 out by saying that all passengers with boarding cards run around the plane twice; the 3 getting the seats.

    Another overbooked flight that was going from Heathrow Airport to America gave a traveler a bit of a shock. Dressed only in trousers, a shirt and socks, the traveler had been allowed to leave the plane to see 4 he could get a friend aboard. But when he 5a few minutes later, he found the plane closed up and about to start moving—with his shoes, wallet, passport and luggage on board. Striking heavily on the door, he was allowed to get back inside.

    Luggage is also a rich source of horror stories. There was the unlucky traveler who left Chicago where the temperature was-11℃. He was going to attend an important meeting in Dallas where the temperature was as 6 as 26.7℃. Unfortunately, his suitcase had gone to Los Angeles and wasn't able to be sent to him before the meeting. So he had to attend the meeting in a thick suit, a heavy overcoat and a fur hat.
