Together though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men sud
22、denly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them.

Hollywood just did not seem interested. When he first came to California Larry had decided never to give up and return home wi
38、thout success. Therefore, he kept on trying. Someday, he told himself, his big opportunity would come.Larry found a job parking cars for one of Hollywoods big restaurants. His pay was basic, but since the guests were kind enough to give him more money, he managed to make a living.One day he recogniz
39、ed an important film director driving into the parking lot and getting out of his car. Larry had recently heard that the man was ready to make a new picture.Larry got into the car and prepared to drive it on into the lot and park it.

45、 is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England or who have visited only one part of it often makes the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to Septem
46、ber, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from the job in the north, they often prefer to move down to the south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which
47、consists of (is made up of) the counties of Devon and Cornwall, where palm trees, bamboo and many semitropical plants grow well.
