The lottery raises money for the local hospital. Most people buy at least one ticket, because the first prize is a million dollars! One year, John Smith won the first prize. He immediately gave up his job and started to enjoy himself. He bought the fastest and most expensive car he could fine. He bought a motorboat. He traveled twice around the world, eating and drinking at the most expensive restaurants. He went on a safari in Africa. He explored the South Pole. He lived a life of pleasure, luxury and adventure. He put on a lot of weight from eating too much good food. Two years later, after he had spent all his money, he returned home and asked for his job back. He had only been back at work a few days when one of the girls in the office tried to sell him a lottery ticket. “You must buy one, John,” she said. “Remember how lucky you were last time?” “I’m not buying any more lottery tickets,” he said. “But you must,” the girl argued. “You might win again.” “That’s what frightens me,” John said. “If I try to do again all the things I did last year, I’ll be dead before the end of this year!” 一：找出正确的答案。 ( ) 1 Where did the lottery take place?
