Geoffrey Payne talks for the first time about the night his wife was killed. The judge (法官) thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison about what happened on the night of September 13,2024.
| I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. I finally left at about 11 p.m. I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible and the wind was blowing hard and it was raining heavily. I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was frightened (害怕的) and the man looked frightened too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was very strange.
When I got home,the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.
I was still very upset (难过) about what happened on the road,so I made myself a drink. Then I went upstairs to have a bath. I saw that the window in the bedroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars. When I went to close it,I found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt her pulse (脉) but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body and was too frightened to do anything.
The next thing I knew was that the sky was getting light. I can't remember a thing about that night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived about half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like hours. During that time I tried hard to remember anything I could about the night before. I couldn't stop thinking about the man on the road.
What was he doing at that time of night in our quiet neighbourhood? Why did he look so frightened? Why did he run away? |

### 四、阅读理解
杰弗里·佩恩首次谈及妻子遇害的那个夜晚。法官认为是他杀害了自己的妻子。现在他从监狱里给一家杂志写信，讲述2024年9月13日晚上发生的事情。
那天晚上我不得不在医院待到很晚做手术。我终于在晚上11点左右离开了。我开车慢慢地回家，因为天气很糟糕，风刮得很大，雨也下得很大。我正要拐进我们住的那条路时，一个男人突然跑到了我的车前。我差点撞到他，但及时停了下来。我很害怕，那个男人看起来也很害怕。我下了车，但还没等我问他是否没事，他就跑了。这很奇怪。
当我回到家时，灯亮着，但非常安静。我喊我的妻子，但没有回应。然后我想起她去听音乐会了。
我还在为路上发生的事情感到难过，所以我给自己倒了一杯酒。然后我上楼去洗澡。我看到卧室的窗户是开着的。这很奇怪，因为我妻子出门前总是把门窗锁好。她害怕小偷。当我去关窗户时，我发现了艾伦。她躺在地板上。到处都是血。我冲过去，摸了摸她的脉搏，但她已经死了。我坐在她的尸体旁边的地板上，吓得什么也做不了。
接下来我知道的事情就是天开始亮了。我不记得那天晚上的任何事情了。早上我给警察打了电话。我打电话给他们大约半小时后他们就到了。但感觉好像过了几个小时。在那段时间里，我努力回忆前一天晚上我能记得的任何事情。我不停地想着路上的那个男人。
他在晚上的这个时候在我们安静的街区做什么？他为什么看起来那么害怕？他为什么要跑？
