Jim went into the station soon after five o'clock in the afternoon. This is a bad time to travel in Paris,
both by bus and by train, because lots of people go home from work at this hour. He had to join a long
queue of people who were waiting for tickets. When at last his turn came, he got the right ticket. By
asking several people the way, he also found the right platform (站台). It was crowded and he was not
able to get on the first train, but he was able to move nearer to the edge (边) of the platform to be ready
to get on the next one. When the train came in, Jim was thrown onto the train by the rush of the people
behind. The doors closed and the train moved off. Since he was unable to see the names of the stations
where the train stopped, he had to count the number of stops so that he knew where to get off. His station was the seventh along the line.
When the train reached the seventh station, Jim got off. But he was surprised to see that he had got
off at a station that he had never heard of. A man on the platform told him that he had traveled on a train
in the wrong direction.
