29、，I wonder?”In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me. I was puzzled. “ Thanks, officer,” I sai

30、d. “Youve been very kind. I live just down the road.”He was staring at our load: first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “ Well, well,” he said, laughing, “ Its a cupboard youve got here!

35、Tuition(学费) for many years of medical education costs lots of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition.
