I’ve never visited the town of Wetumka in Oklahoma of the USA. But I know people there celebrate a day every year when they laugh at themselves. 　1　 And they plan a town festival ceremony on the last Saturday of September to celebrate it. 

It all started in 1950 when a man calling himself F.Bam Morrison arrived in Wetumka and persuaded the local people to put up money to bring a circus to the town. 　2　 They thought he was a good guy. 

Businessmen bought plenty of food, drinks, and souvenirs in preparation for the crowds of people. And Morrison sold tickets in advance. 　3　They were happy with the thought of a circus in their own village. 

On the day the circus parade was to march down the main street, happiness turned into disappointment when nothing happened. Morrison had slipped away(溜走) in the night with all the money he had raised. 　4　The people of Wetumka had been fooled. 

It didn’t take long for their disappointment to turn into enjoyment, however. Someone came up with the idea of holding a four-day celebration. 　5　 They called their party “The Sucker Festival”. People celebrated the fact that they had been cheated. And now Sucker Day is an important event in Wetumka every year. 

A.They call it Sucker Day.

B.So there would be no circus.

C.All the townspeople bought the tickets.

D.Everyone in town had heard about the festival.

(2021·山东临沂高三期末检测)

Afternoon was Mrs Conroy’s favourite time of day. After a day’s hard work, her eyes were tired and her feet hurt. She enjoyed the nice long nap she took on the bus. Mrs Conroy had made friends with the bus driver, Mr Angstrom. He always woke her up before her stop. She usually felt fresh when she got off the bus.

But today was different. Mr Angstrom wasn’t driving. A small man in a wrinkled uniform sat in the driver’s seat.

“Where’s Mr Angstrom?” asked Mrs Conroy, dropping her money into the box.

“I don’t know. Sick, I guess. I just work here, lady. Step to the back seat.”

Mrs Conroy hoped that Mr Angstrom was all right. She didn’t like this new driver. She decided not to sleep on the way home today. She didn’t want to ask this driver to wake her. He didn’t look like the type who’d want to do anyone a favour.

Mrs Conroy tried to keep her eyes open, but the gentle rocking of the bus had a calm effect. Within a few minutes her eyes closed. With her head dropping to her shoulders, Mrs Conroy fell fast asleep.

The next thing Mrs Conroy knew was that a hand was on her shoulder. Someone was shaking her awake.

“Wake up, lady. We’ve come to the end of the line. Wake up.”

Mrs Conroy blinked(眨眼) and opened her eyes. The bus driver looked down at her.“Time for you to get off the bus.”

Mrs Conroy peered out the window.“Where am I?” she asked.“I was supposed to get off at Essex Avenue.”

“You’re at the last stop, lady. Come on, get off the bus. I have a schedule to keep to.”

Mrs Conroy was having trouble waking up. The bus driver took her arm and helped her down the bus.“Wait a minute,” she said in a sharp voice.“This isn’t Essex Avenue. Where am I? How can I get home?”

“Can you ride me back?” she begged.“Sorry, lady. It’s against the rules,” he said as he closed the door.

Mrs Conroy watched the bus disappear down the road.                                                  

Ten minutes later, the bus driver returned and sped up to Mrs Conroy.

Mrs Conroy watched the bus disappear down the road. She looked around and tried to figure out what part of the city she was in, but she didn’t recognize this place. There are no trees around, no taxis, no street signs, and no people. There was nothing to see in any direction. Mrs Conroy wondered if she were still dreaming. The night was drawing near, and it was quiet all around. Mrs Conroy felt terribly scared, not knowing what to do.

Ten minutes later, the bus driver returned and sped up to Mrs Conroy. Thinking of the poor woman, he decided to break the company’s rules and help the woman. He soon saw Mrs Conroy standing in the wind, helplessly. “I’m so sorry, madam. I shouldn’t leave you here alone in terms of the company rules. Please forgive me. I’ll drive you home.” Hearing this, Mrs Conroy was excited and appreciated for the driver’s behaviour. At last, the company praised the bus driver for what he did instead of punishing him for his breaking rules.
