I had a most strange experience a few weeks ago. I was sitting at home, when at about nine o’clock there was a knock on the door. I wasn’t expecting anyone, so I wondered (a) _______ . I opened the door, and there was this man, wearing an old raincoat. I asked him (b) ______, but he didn’t tell me at first. He wanted to know (c) __________ in the house, which I thought was an odd question. Anyway, I said I was, because everyone else had gone out for the evening. Then he asked (d) ________, so I said that I wanted to know who he was before I’d let him into my house, which is only natural, after all. Anyway, he didn’t answer, but looked up and down the street. By this time I was getting a bit worried, and I wondered (e) _______ , because this chap seemed a bit suspicious. But he told me (f) _______. He was a policeman, and he showed me his card to prove it. He said that the police were watching the people who lived in a house a few doors away, and he asked me (g) __________ .
I said I didn’t. I’d seen them a few times, but I hadn’t spoken to them. Then he wanted to know (h) _________ , so I said ‘a few weeks’. I’d seen their furniture van on the day they moved in. Then he explained (i) ___________ . He asked me if he could stay in my front room and watch the street for a while, so I showed him in. I asked him (j) _________ , and he said it was because they suspected of being drug smugglers. I couldn’t believe it. He stayed for three hours, and then left.

A College Lecture
1Professor Sanchez gave a lecture on transistors last Tuesday. 2First, he explained what are transistors. 3He said, that they are very small electronic devices used in telephones, automobiles, radios, and so on. 4He further explained that transistors control the flow of electronic current in electronic equipment. 5He wanted to know which popular technological invention cannot operate without transistors. 6Most students agreed, it is the personal computer. 7Professor Sanchez then asked if the students know how do transistors function in computers. 8He said that the transistors were etched into tiny silicon microchips and that these transistors increase computers’ speed and data storage capacity. 9Then he asked the class when had transistors been invented? 10Sergei guessed that they were invented in 1947. 11The professor said that he is correct. 12Professor Sanchez then asked what was the importance of this invention? 13Many students answered that it is the beginning of the information age. 14At the end of the lecture, the professor assigned a paper on transistors. 15He requested that each student chooses a topic by next Monday. 16He suggested that the papers are typed.
