Man: Well, I was walking home from work two days ago, enjoying the nature all around me ... the birds, the frogs, the flowing stream ... [Okay, Okay] when this woman knocked me right off my feet, grabbed my stuff, and ran off through the trees. [Hmm]. I was so surprised by the ordeal that I didn't go after her. Police Officer: Yeah. Can you describe the woman for me? Man: Yeah. He was about a hundred and ninety centimeters tall ... Police Officer: Wait. You said a woman robbed you. Man: Well, I'm not really sure. [Hmm]. You see, the person was wearing a white and black polka dot dress, a light red sweater over it, and she ... or he ... was wearing a pair of basketball shoes. Police Officer: Humm. What else can you tell me? Man: Okay. Like I said, the person was about 190 centimeters tall, heavy build, with long wavy hair. She ... or he ... was probably in his or her late 30's. I didn't get a good look at the person's face, but well ... uh .... Police Officer: What? Was there something else? Man: Well, the person ... had a beard. Police Officer: Ah! What was, uh, taken ... exactly? Man: Well, just my left shoe. Bizarre, isn't it? Police Officer: Ah. The "bearded woman" has struck again! Man: The "bearded woman"? Police Officer: Yeah. It's this man who dresses up like a woman and, for some unknown reason, removes the left shoe from his victims. He's really quite harmless, though, and he usually returns the shoe to the crime scene a couple of days later. Man: Hey, he can keep my shoe, and I'll just take off my left shoe every time I walk through the park. Question: What was the man doing when he was robbed? - fishing by the stream - birdwatching in the park - coming home from work

Q: Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: This week's program Up Your Street takes you to Harrogate, a small town in Yorkshire. Harrogate became a fashionable resort during Victorian times, when people came to take a bath in the mineral waters. Today, few people come to visit the town for its mineral waters. Instead, Harrogate has become a popular town for people to retire to. Its clean air, attractive parks, and the absence of any industry, make this an ideal spot for people looking for a quiet life. Now, to tell us more about Harrogate, I have with me Tom Percival, President of the Chamber of Commerce. Tom, one of the things visitor notices about Harrogate is the large area of open park land right down into the middle of the town. Can you tell us more about it? M: Yes, certainly. The area is called the Stray. W: Why the Stray? M: It's called that because in the old days, people let their cattle stray on the area, which was common land. W: Oh, I see. M: Then, we've changes in farming and in land ownership. The Stray became part of the land owned by Harrogate. W: And is it protected? M: Oh, yes, indeed. As a special law, no one can build anything on the stray. It's protected forever. W: So it will always be park land? M: That's right. As you can see, some of the Stray is used for sports fields. W: I believe it looks lovely in the spring. M: Yes, it does. There're spring flowers on the old trees, and people visit the town just to see the flowers. Question: What do we learn about modern Harrogate? - It is an ideal place for people to retire to. - It is at the center of the fashion industry. - It remains very attractive with its mineral waters.
A: It is an ideal place for people to retire to.
