The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke.
“Well,” he said, “if I have only three months to live, I’ll take all my money out of the bank and go to foreign countries for holidays with my best friend, Erik.

“That’s very interesting,” Paul said.
With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, “And what about you?”
“I’ll tell you a secret,” Allan said. “I always want to be a racing driver. So if I have only three months to live, the first thing I’d like to do is to sell my house. With the money I’ll buy the fastest car in the world. Maybe I can enter all the big motor races.”
Then he laughed, “I might even end up (以……而告终) world champion.”

Wednesday， Jan. 7， 7:30 a.m.
My first thought after waking up was that it was pretty cold in my bedroom. Clearly， the power (电力供应) didn’t come back. After I looked out of the window， I felt even sadder: it was still raining heavily. The room was becoming colder and colder. We had no idea when the power would come back， so my wife started a fire in the fireplace.
