Passage 70【2020 •湖南省常德市中考】
Robert likes to take a walk in the park after work. One day when he was walking in the park, he heard a woman calling his name. He stopped to look around, but didn’t see anything except a little snake. Shortly after Robert saw it, it was gone.
Though Robert felt a little strange, he did not think about it too much and sat down for a rest on a bench in the park. Then he noticed the snake he had just seen climbing up the bench. Robert was too afraid to move away from the bench. Right at this moment, a woman behind him shouted, “Come here, Robert. You can’t stay on the bench like that. People will be worried by you.”
In surprise, Robert turned around and said to the woman, “Excuse me, but that’s not a very nice thing to say, and in fact some people say I’m handsome.”
“I’m not talking to you,” said the woman, “I’m telling Robert, my pet snake, to get down from the bench, not you.”
