At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going

19、to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!”I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door.

27、houghtless friends.D If you need glasses to read this, you are among the majority of Chinese students.
