When Mr.Davies got back to the party，he told people about the black bear，but of course they did not believe him and thought he was drunk.When he took them out to the carpark to show them that he was serious，he found the car with the bear in had gone.

　　There were so many jokes about Mr.Davies's black bear during the following days that he at last put an advertisement in the local paper，“Will anybody who saw a black bear blowing a horn in a car outside the Central Hotel at about 7 p．m. on Christmas Day please phone...”

　　Two days later a Mrs.Richards phoned to say she and her husband had left their

　　pet bear in their car outside the Central Hotel for a few minutes that evening

　　and that it was

　　quite possible that he had been blowing the horn.Mrs.Richards did not seem to think there was anything strange about that.“It likes blowing car horns，”she said，“and we don't mind as long as we are not actually driving the car.”

　　【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。Davies夫妇应邀参加酒会。Davies先生出去为妻子取手帕时听见汽车喇叭在响，于是去看个究竟，发现是一只熊在按喇叭。他返回酒会后向人谈及，却被人误解为他已经喝醉，之后登广告才澄清事实，“沉冤得以昭雪”。

　　1．What was Mr.Davies careful of during the party?

　　A．Not drinking too much.
