阅读理解题)阅读理解Britain’s oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money—to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse.
Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans’, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling=1/20 pound) return from Swansea—too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.
During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament.(国会)
The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move his about if he gets tired. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized—no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with him 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, “I am glad to see they have given me a return ticket.”
