【课文原文】

On Wednesdayevening, we went to the Town Hall. Itwas the last day of the year and a large crowd of people hadgathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes'time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped.The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened.Suddenly someone shouted, 'It's two minutes past twelve! The clock hasstopped!' I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refusedto welcome the NewYear. At that moment everybody began to laugh and sing.
