Before windows were used, old houses in Northern Europe and Britain were very dark. Their

great rooms were high with only one hole in the roof to let the smoke out from cooking fire. As

time went on, people began to make the holes bigger to have more light and air in their homes.

The first English window was just a small opening in the wall. It was cut long, to let in as much

light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, with the window cut long,

more wind than light would e in. This is why it was called “the wind’s eyes”. And the word

“window” es from two ancient words for “wind” and “eye”.

I was in a strange city and I didn’t know the city at all. And what’s more, I couldn’t speak a word

of the language. After having spent my first day in the town center, I decided to lose my way on

my second day, since I was sure that this was the better way of getting to know the strange city. I

got on the first bus in the morning, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The

first two hours passed happily enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After

walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was the only word I

knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that was pronounced

badly.

I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook

my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him

some money and went on my way. Then I met a policeman. I asked him at once. The policeman

listened to me carefully, smiled and took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he

pointed left and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking on.

About an hour passed and I found that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields

could be seen on either side of me. I had e all the way into the country. The thing left for me to do

was to find the nearest bus station.

( ) 1. The writer thought that if you wanted to get to know a strange city _______.
