五、阅读与回答问题。
The clock struck(敲) eight, but I was still in bed. I could hear it was blowing strongly. “It must be windy outside,” I thought.
I came to the small town a week ago. I sold some clothes to a shop. New Year’s Day was coming and I hoped to buy some presents for my family and friends. So I tried to meet the manager and ask him to pay for the clothes. I was out of luck. He went to London and I had to wait for him here. There was no theatre here but a cinema. The films were all too old. I preferred(更喜欢) staying in the small hotel to sitting in the cold cinema.
Some time later, I felt hungry. I had to get up. It was white everywhere and some children were skiing down the hill. On my way to the small restaurant, I saw a boy fall onto a rock. I ran to him quickly and carried him to a hospital. Soon his parents came here. Then I knew the boy was just the manager’s son. He thanked me very much and gave me the money after we had dinner.
