The bus was crowded with passengers going home from market, most of them carrying heavy bags,
and baskets full of fruit and vegetables they had bought there. There were no seats left when Jane got on the bus, and she was forced to stand beside a very fat woman on one side and on the other side a thin,serious-looking man in dark glasses. There was nothing to hold on to, and the bus was going so fast that if it had not been for the people on each side of her, Jane would have fallen over. Suddenly she felt her bag slipping¹ down (?{l@l) her arm but could not move to pull it up again.

" Oh, dear, " She said, " I ' m losing my bag. " " Don ' t worry, " said the thin man, " I ' II see if I canget it for you." Somehow he managed to bend down and pull the bag up round her shoulder againThanks a lot, said Jane. ' Not at all,  the man spoke² hurriedly.  Anyway, I m getting off in amoment. You ' II have more room. "

At the next stop the man and half a dozen people got off. Jane was at last able to get a seat. She felt so tired and hungry that she opened her bag to find the chocolate ( -PJ ~@L ~h ) she had bought in the market.

The chocolate was there, but her wallet with all her money and the return ticket in it had gone.

Waves are beautiful to look at, but they can destroy (@@) ships at sea, as well as houses and
buildings near the shore. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones.

The size of a wave depends on how strong the wind is, how long it blows, and how large the body ofwater is. In a small bay(海湾) big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up giant,powerful⁴ waves.

A rule says that the height of a wave(in meters) will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind' sspeed(in kilometers). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers per hour, most waves will be about twelve meters. Of course, some waves may combine to form giant waves that are much higher. Li 1933 the United⁵ States Navy(海军) reported the largest measured wave in history. It rose in the Pacific Ocean to a height of thirty-four meters.
