The inspectors were likely to swoop at any time. A conductor with twenty years service could be dismissed if an inspector

5、 caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket.

All the buses from our depot and every other depot would be crawling nose to tail through the town while the entire working population of Sydney fought to get aboard. It was hot that summer: 100 Fahren

7、heit every day. Inside the bus it was 30 hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet werent touching the floor. I couldnt blink the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares. At each stop it was all I could do to reach the bell-push that signaled the driver to close the

8、automatic doors and get going. I had no way of telling whether anybody had managed to get on or off. My one object was to get that bus up Pitt Street. In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didnt even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I presse

9、d the bell, the doors puffed closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late did I realize that they were emanating from within the bus. The back set of automatic doors had closed a

10、round an old ladys neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time. When I at last cottoned on to the fact that something untoward was happening and signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and op

Anyway she apologized to me for causing so much trouble. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have m

Once again this failed to coincide with my own plans in the sense that I had already resigned. In fact, I had made my decision at about the

Its an age-old dispute: Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Males and females show different behaviors almost fr

14、om birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and solving math problems while women are better at memorizing words and recognizing faces. Why the differences A test of the brains electrical activ

15、ity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions-one controlling the sense of space, for example, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different way

16、s men and women use their brains evolved from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids. Whatever be the explanation, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently,

17、 men and women may be equally capable. They may simply rely on different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her recognition of landmarks. They both find the car. But chances are
