A Killer in the Backseat

At 2：00 a．m．，a young nurse left the hospital where she worked，got into her car，and headed for home（53）　　she stopped at an all﹣night store for milk．As she was paying for the milk，the cashier（收银员）reminded her to be careful．"You know about the murder（谋杀案），don't you？"he asked her．

Of course she knew about the murder．A few weeks before，a local woman driving alone late at night had been murdered．The police were still（54）　　the killer．

The woman got into her car，locked the car doors，and pulled out of the parking lot．A man in a pickup truck pulled out right behind her and（55）　　，staying just inches from her car．Every few seconds，he turned on his bright lights．

Her heart beat quickly as the woman drove home．When she got to her driveway（私人车道），the man in the pickup truck followed right behind her．The woman threw open the car door and（56）　　．Halfway to the front door，she fainted（晕倒）．

When the woman came to（苏醒），she saw a man beside her．He was the man in the pickup truck！"It's OK，"the man said and pointed to （57）　　lying on the ground nearby．The man's hands and feet were tied．

"I'm the one who followed you，"the stranger said．"I had just got to the parking lot of the all﹣night store when I saw a man（58）　　 and he down in the backseat．Then you came out of the store and got into the car．There was nothing I could do but follow you．I turned on my bright lights（59）　　the guy tried to get up from the backseat．I tried to let him know I was behind you．When you got out of your car，he tried to run away．I hit him with my tire iron．He had a knife，（60）　　he didn't get a chance to use it．The police are on their way here．I'm sorry I scared you．"

When I was a child，my parents often took me to a run﹣down house in a thick forest．No other children ever stayed there．I didn't even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister．

I could never（42）　　（understand）what the attraction of the house was，even for my parents，who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book．The woman in the house，my father's distant cousin，was a terrible cook．

One day，when I was hanging around the garden behind the house，I noticed a wooden house．It was clearly abandoned（废弃的）and（43）　　（hide）completely behind tall trees and huge grass．As I walked towards it，I heard a noise，like an animal moving hurriedly away．I was about tu turn away when I saw an old man（44）　　（stand）at the door．I was much scared．

"Please don't tell me you saw me，"he said．"They never use this place，and I have nowhere else to live．""Don't worry，"I said．"I（45）　　（not tell）anyone．But are you all right out here？I mean﹣do you have enough to eat？"

The old man（46）　　（shake）his head and said that he hadn't had a big meal for ages．I decided to put this right as soon as I could．The same evening，I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and，while no one was looking，I emptied some of the food into it．Later，I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man，whose name I had discovered was Taff．

I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile on Taff's face when he （47）　　（eat）the food．From then on，my visits to the old house had a purpose，and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay．
