阅读理解。
Mr Black was a very large man. He had a loud voice. He was not a giant (巨人), but he was much
bigger than most men.
Life was not easy for Mr Black. He could seldom find clothes big enough. His feet were too large for
most shoes.
In buses, trains and planes, he could not stand up straight. The roofs (顶) were too low.
In cars, he could not move his legs. There was not enough room. At home, his bed was too short. Chairs
were always too small.
In fact, wherever he went and whatever he did, Mr Black had problems because of his size.
These problems were so bad that Mr Black stayed at home most of the time. Life was easier at home.
Then one day, a friend said,"You spend too much time at home. You should go out more. There's a good
movie at the theatre."
"I can't sit in theatre seats," Mr Black said. "I'm too big."
"That is no problem," his friend said. "I'll buy you two tickets. You can get them at the theatre when you
go."
The friend sent money to the theatre for two tickets. When the day came, Mr Black put on his best clothes
and went to the theatre.
"You have two tickets for me," he said to the woman in the ticket office."My name is Black."
"Oh, yes, Mr Black," the woman said. "Here you are, seats G4 and PI2. I'm sorry, you and your friend
can't sit together because we are very full this evening."
Poor Mr Black. He smiled sadly, walked out of the theatre and went home.
