1. According to the weatherman, the roads were very dangerous because of the snow and ice, and he strongly recommended staying at home if possible. However, Dr. James could not stay at home because he worked in a hospital and there were patients waiting for him. When he opened his front door, he saw that everything was covered with snow. Despite the cold wind blowing inside, Dr. James had to go to work.

2. Martin's boss did not like it when anyone missed the morning meetings, and Martin had already been late several times that week. His boss had warned him that if he was late again, he would lose his job. Martin was afraid of losing his job because he enjoyed working there. His colleagues were nice to him, the salary was good, and he sometimes went on business trips abroad. It was actually the best job he had ever had.

While in a hurry to get to the office, Martin accidentally hit the car behind him. He glanced at his watch and saw that it was 7:18. There were no policemen on the street, so he decided to drive off quickly. It took him 20 minutes to get to work. Fortunately, his boss was not around when he arrived. However, when the boss arrived an hour later, he discovered that his car had been hit and the person responsible had left without leaving a note. The boss expressed his frustration, wishing he knew who the culprit was, as his car was only a week old and had been bought recently.
