8.Bill Fuller,the postman,whistled(吹口哨) cheerfully as he pushed his bike up the hill towards Mrs Dunley's house.His work for the day was almost finished.His bag,usually quite heavy when he set out on his road,was empty now except for the letter that he had to deliver(遞送) to Mrs Dunley.She lived over a mile from that village so that,when Bill had a letter for her,he always finished his day's work much later.He did not mind this,however,because she never failed to ask him in for a cup of tea.
When Bill entered the gate of Mrs Dunley's house,he was surprised not to find her working in the garden.She usually spent most afternoons there when the weather was fine.Bill went straight round to the back of the house,thinking that she might be in the kitchen.The door was locked and the curtains were drawn.He returned to the front of the house and knocked hard on the door.There was no answer.Bill thought that this was very strange because he knew that Mrs Dunley hardly left the house.
Just then,he noticed that her bottle of milk,which was delivered early in the morning,was still on the doorstep.This worried him.If Mrs Dunley had not taken in her milk,perhaps she was ill.Bill walked round the house until he found an open window.He squeezed(擠) through it.Then he went into the hall.There he almost fell over Mrs Dunley,who was lying at the foot of the stairs unconscious(昏迷不醒的).Realizing that there was little he could do for her,Bill rushed out of the house,stopped a passing car and told the driver to telephone for an ambulance(救護車) as soon as he got to the village.

分析 Bill Fuller是一個郵遞員,他今天的工作幾乎要完成了,除了一封給Mrs Dunley的信.Mrs Dunley住在一英里之外,所以當(dāng)Bill給她送信時候,他一天的工作總是完成的很晚,但是Bill不介意,Mrs Dunley總是叫他進來喝杯咖啡.當(dāng)Bill到達的時候沒看見Mrs Dunley在花園里工作.繞到屋后,發(fā)現(xiàn)門關(guān)著,窗簾也拉下來.去敲門沒人答應(yīng),Bill知道Mrs Dunley很少出門,Bill注意到了早上送來的牛奶還在臺階上,Bill認為也許Mrs Dunley病了,他發(fā)現(xiàn)一扇開著的窗戶,爬進去,差點撞到躺在樓梯下昏迷不醒的 Mrs Dunley.Bill沖出屋子,喊停了一輛車讓司機打電話給救護車.
