阅读理解
A
It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp.It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.Of course，it was a good place for training the new soldiers.But it was difficult for the young men to go outside.Mr.White，an officer of forty，was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
Once Mr.White was ill in bed.He couldn’t work so a young officer，Mr.Hunt，began to train the new soldiers instead of him.He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.But night fell and none came back to the camp.He was worried about it and stood at the gate.It was five to twelve when Mr.Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men.He started the car quickly and set off.At that moment the nine soldiers came back.It seemed they were all drunk.Of course they found the officer was angry.
“I’m sorry，sir，”said the first soldier.“I left the town on time.But something was wrong with my bus on my way here，I had to buy a horse and made it run fast.Bad luck！It died and I had to run back.”
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons.It was the last soldier’s turn.He said，“I’m sorry，sir.I got on a bus on time，but...”
Having heard this，the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.He called out，“If you say something was wrong with your bus，I’ll punish you at once！”
“No，no，sir，”said the young man.“My bus was all right，but the dead horses were in its way！”

Mr. Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films.He constantly gets into funny and absurd situations, which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationality or culture.The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language, which is universal.
One of my favorite shows is Mr.Bean in a fancy restaurant.After being seated at his table, Mr.Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals (密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table.After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there.He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see.
When he looks at the menu, an astonished look swiftly appears on his face.He takes all the

money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a plate.He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile.Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”．When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger.He makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting.He cannot hide his feelings, except when the waiter asks if everything is all right.When this happens，he smiles and nods, showing that everything is fine.When the waiter is not looking, however, he is busy hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach—the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, inside a small cake and under a plate.He becomes so desperate(绝望的)in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant’s violinist!
I like to watch Mr.Bean on TV, but I wouldn’t like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn’t like to have dinner with him!
