It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately wi

20、th a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.” It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench（扳手）and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. F

21、inally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.

27、eef, and sheep and mutton? To find out, we have to go back to 1066, when the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne(王位), which not only changed the government but also changed the language. French became the language of the upper classes of society. And it remained

28、 that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc(pork) and beouf(beef) came into the English language.
