The hemp is ripe and gives forth its penetrating but pleasant odour.

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Arm Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.
A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of hex route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a Very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
"I just can’t leave you here," she said. "This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home."

[单项选择]On the last shopping day before Christmas, stores across the United States were busy but not jam-packed as shoppers scrambled for last-minute gifts, even though some refused to admit it. At Boston’s Copley Mall, a small crowd gathered outside the main entrance of luxury department store Neiman Marcus, but no one waiting for the store to open would admit to being a last-minute shopper. "I’m really here to use a gift certificate and get something for myself and maybe someone else with what’s left over," said Matt Doran, who lives in Boston and had been waiting since 8:30 a.m. for the store’s 10 a.m. opening. Ilya Polykoff, who moved to Boston from Russia, said he was waiting "because I had the day off and I wanted to get some perfume." But he insisted that he was really shopping early because for him Christmas comes in January. The Orthodox Christmas will be celebrated on Jan. 7.

It was a sparkling July
day, and a southwest wind, heady with the dank odors of tidal flat and salt
marsh, whistled over the south Jersey waterway.
The little sloop
departed from Cape May in mid morning, threading her way in bright sunshine
northward along the waterway. She passed through a variety of drawbridges which
opened promptly to our signal on the fishhorn, blown dutifully by my
twelve-year-old son, Kelvin; and, following our pleasant "Thank you," each

Meanwhile, Kelvin and I were tending to the numerous necessary seagoing
chores which would allow us to change from engine to sail while the man at the
tiller stood up on his hind legs, chart in hand, and tried to see where he was
going, steering with his feet. ( This pleasant, if demanding, chore had fallen
temporarily upon Robert, a cruising type of impressive experience shanghaied for
