Passage 3
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
(79)John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment. We were on our way back from a camping holiday;we had lived rough for over a fortnight and even a cigarette was a luxury at that moment.
I felt in my pocket for a box of matches,but could not find any.
“I haven't got any either,” said John.
Sitting opposite to us was a man whose face was hidden by a newspaper.
“Excuse me,sir,”said John,leaning across. “Could you give me a light,please?”
The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern face.
“This is a no smoking compartment,”the man said. He indicated the notice near the window. We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.
(80)The man went on,in a rather more kindly way,to warn us against the dangers of smoking.
“I speak as a doctor,”he concluded,and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.
When he got out a few stations later,he left his newspaper behind him. We picked it up,eager to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.
“Just look at this,”remarked John,pointing to a photograph. “it's the man who was sitting opposite us.” Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic (精神病者)who had recently escaped. It appeared that he liked to pretend to be a doctor.
