课 文内容：

The rough road across the plain soon became so bad that we tried

to get Bruce to drive back to the village we had come from. Even

though the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes,

Bruce was not in the least perturbed. Glancing at his map, he

informed us that the next village was a mere twenty miles away. It

was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties. He simply had

no sense of danger at all. No matter what the conditions were, he

believed that a car should be driven as fast as it could possibly go.

As we bumped over the dusty track, we swerved to avoid large

wheels scooped up stones which hammered ominously under

the car. We felt sure that sooner or later a stone would rip a hole

in our petrol tank or damage the engine. Because of this, we kept

looking back, wondering if we were leaving a trail of oil and petrol

behind us.

What a relief it was when the boulders suddenly disappeared,

giving way to a stretch of plain where the only obstacles were clumps

of bushes. But there was worse to come. Just ahead of us there was a

huge fissure. In response to renewed pleadings, Bruce stopped. Though

we all got out to examine the fissure, he remained in the car. We

informed him that the fissure extended for fifty yards and was two

feet wide and four feet deep. Even this had no effect. Bruce went

into a low gear and drove at a terrifying speed, keeping the front

wheels astride the crack as he followed its zig-zag course. Before we

had time to worry about what might happen, we were back on the plain

again. Bruce consulted the map once more and told us that the village

was now only fifteen miles away. Our next obstacle was a shallow pool

of water about half a mile across. Bruce charged at it, but in the

middle, the car came to a grinding halt. A yellow light on the dash-

board flashed angrily and Bruce cheerfully announced that there was

no oil in the engine!
