26、nding opposite the jewelers, looking extremely suspicious. But the moment he saw me, instead of trying to avoid me, he came straight across the road as I drew level with the jewelers. Halfway across he began addressing me: “I thought you were going to” but his voice trailed away as he received no re
27、ply and no sign of recognition from me. It was quite obvious that he had mistaken me for someone else. But he started up again as if nothing had happened“Good morning, ” he said“Nice to bump into someone so early. Someone to talk to. Ive taken to talking to myself on this job.”I hate meeting people
28、when Im out early, and I was almost out of breath, so I just paused in my stride,nodded in a friendly manner, and went on up the road. The stranger had spoken quietly, and quite slowly. And I had noticed that he was well dressed, too. But if he looked suspicious dressed like that at that time of the
29、 morning, what about me? I was in a track suit, with an old sweater round my shoulders and a cap on my headAs to his odd remark about “talking to himself on this job”, I hadnt paid any attention to it, although now it began to worry me. Was he perhaps a plain clothes policeman? At the time I somehow
30、 felt he was.I had just turned the corner into the High Street when I heard the sound of breaking glass somewhere behind me, and I thought the sound came from the street I had just left. I stopped dead and almost without thinking looked back around the corner. The stranger was not there, but almost
31、immediately an alarm bell in the jewelers began ringing furiously.I found out later that a burglar had broken into the jewelers shop and stolen watches and rings worth about 5,000. The police are still looking into the matter, but Im afraid to go and tell them what I know now because they might even
32、 suspect me of committing the crime, and it might be difficult for me to prove my innocence. After all, I havent offered my assistance as a witness, and the only other person around that morning was the “stranger” who had spoken to me.40.

33、s past the jewelersB. didnt like talking to the strangersC. meets a few people every morningD. saw a plain clothes policeman that morning41. Why did the stranger talk to the author?A.

36、e might commit the crime to the policeD. he hesitates whether to report to the police about what he knewCI have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happened to be that put-upon member of society a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks a
37、nd post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more Im convinced that things are being run just to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a new motto for the so-called “service” organization Staff Before Service. How often, for example, have you queued for what see
38、ms like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there arent enough staff on duty at all the service counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to increase counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that bringing all their cash reg
39、isters into operation at any time would increase expenses. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service counters to be occupied “at times when demand is low”.Its the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu
40、choice is lowered. As for us guests (and how the meaning of that word has been cut away little by little.), we just have to put up with it. Theres also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been gradually withdrawn from service in the interests of “efficiency” (i.e. profits) an
41、d replaced by coin-eating machines which supply everything from beer to medicine, not to mention thecreeping（慢慢加剧的） threat of the tea-making set in your room: a kettle with teabags, milk bags and sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I dont, especially when I am paying for “service”.Our only
