Anyway, we have more i

21、mportant things to worry about. This car is losing power for the engine.” As he spoke, the car began to slow down. Finally the engine died completely. “Now well have to walk in the rain.” “But thatll take us an hour at least,” said Andy, “And I have my high-heeled shoes and my nice clothes on, which

22、 will be ruined!” “Well, youll have to wait while I run to the nearest house and call the Harrisons. Someone can come out and pick us up,”said George. “But George!

28、e the damage done to the car. B. You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window

29、and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! Of course he isnt really dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt.

30、ed stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work . They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building.
