L37-2:The Westhaven Express
Neither was I surprise when the train stopped at Widley, a tiny station a few miles along the line. Even a mighty express train can be held up by signals. But when the train dawdled at station after station, I began to wonder, It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour, but barely chugging along at thirty. One hour and seventeen minutes passed and we had not even covered half the distance. I asked a passenger if this was the Westhaven Express, but he had not even heard of it. I determined to lodge a complaint as soon as we arrived. Two hours later, I was talking angrily to the station master at Westhaven. When he denied the train's existence, I borrowed his copy of the timetable. There was a note of triumph in my voice when I told him that it was there in black and white. Glancing at it briefly, he told me to look again. A tiny asterisk conducted me to a footnote at the bottom of the page. It said: “This service has been suspended.”

练习感悟:
今天的文章不长,但是作为后半部分居然还是很难读,越来越难啦。。。上午下午都在抽时间读,知道刚才才读完。
首先是生词和发音,现在连以前感觉会的词都产生怀疑了,要反复确认和纠正。另外句子中的很多表达都不明白,要结合讲解的资料。感觉现在理解课文本身都费劲了。加油。
