Question

Mr Black is a football fan. Every morning he goes to work by train. As he has a long trip, he always buys a newspaper. It helps to make the time pass more quickly. One Wednesday morning, Mr Black turned the important football matches. He knew the Football World Cup would be held in his city soon. He decided to go to watch the football game.

While Mr Black was excited to be at the Football World Cup, he was disappointed（失望的）at the location of his seat. Peering（仔細(xì)看）across the stadium through his telescope（望遠(yuǎn)鏡）he saw an empty seat far away and made his way there. Mr Black asked the man in the next seat, “May I sit here?” “Sure,” the man replied. “This was my wife’s seat. She was a super football fan, and we used to come to the games together all the time until she passed away.”

“I am sorry for your loss,” Mr Black said. “But I am curious（好奇的）. Why didn’t you give the extra（多余的） ticket to a friend or a relative?” The man replied, “They are all at the funeral（葬禮）.”
