I was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association .Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.
There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.
Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town's only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his face - he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. Carefully and surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.
1.The author was walking through the small seaside town__________.

A.the man inside was still wearing a raincoat |
B.he didn't expect it to be taken up |
C.the man had his back with him |
D.the man did not seem to be moving |
4.The author waited, standing a few feet away from the box because____.
A.it was not safe to be close to the box |
B.the man didn't notice his coming |
C.he wanted to have a cigarette to calm himself down |

One day I was walking home along the street with my iPad on,when suddenly my headphones(耳机)were knocked off my head and a man threw his arm around my neck,saying“Just be quiet.” I was being attacked,and this man's arm was gripping(紧夹)onto me!I started screaming and tried to pull him off me, but failed. He was forcing me to walk towards the back of an auto repair shop and he just kept saying“Be quiet.”
My mind froze with fear. Then I heard my great-grandmother’s voice in my head. She was saying“Come on now. I know you are stronger than that!” She was the rock in our family until she died four years ago.
I have never had any self-defense(自卫)training, but I went for it--I let out a loud scream as I kicked my leg back into his shin(胫骨)!He let go of me(放开我) and I ran off. When I looked back to see if he was running after me,I saw he was running in the opposite direction. Then I ran like crazy to a nearby store.
I asked the girl at the counter for the phone and called my mom. She picked me up five minutes later and I explained what happened through sobs(抽泣).“I am calling the police!” She exclaimed. When we got home,two officers were waiting for us and I told them what had happened.
After my experience,I was afraid to do anything. Things slowly got better,but I still don’t like anyone going near my neck.
The fear isn’t totally gone-after all; the guy is still out there somewhere. But I had a new understanding of my own strength. I never expected to be able to fight off an attacker. I am stronger than I realized.
