从ABC三个人中选择合适的人回答问题，每个人可以重复选择。

A mazing coincidences

A    Tom Greenaway
'I never used to believe in coincidences,' says Tom Greenaway.'I'm not normally credulous or gullible, but there was something strange about an experience I had recently. I was late leaving for work and was just about to get into my car when my wife called me. My boss wanted me to drop into another office on the way to work to pick up some important papers. The call only delayed me by five minutes, but it was enough. Whe I reached the office block to collect the papers,there wasn't much of it left. There had been an enormous explosion of some kind and dozens of people had been killed and injured. If I'd been there a little earlier...' Then he added, ' It seems that circumstances do sometimes conspire to prevent accidents happening.'

B     Pam Price
Pam Price says:' My husband and I were touring in the north of England and stopped in an obscure little village. Before we left homes, as usual I had bought a paperback to read. I didn't know the author and had never heard of the book. I was simply attracted by the cover. I was amazed that night, sitting up in bed, to find that the story was set in the very same village where we were staying. And we found that the novelist often stayed in the small hotel where we were. What are the chances of that happening, I wonder? People pour scorn on things like this, dong't they? I would have a while ago, but not now.'

C    Liz Chance
Recently Liz Chance discovered that she had a long-lost twin sister from whom she had been separated at the age of six months. When she and her sister Louise were reunited last year, they found incredibly that they had led almost parallel lives. 'We found that we had both married in 1995 and that we had both married a man called Ted:both Teds were antique dealers. We discovered that we are both keen on gardening and listening to jazz, and that we both live in a house in a road called New Road. I always knew something like this would happen.'

Which person
  chose a book to read on holiday almost by chance?      1____
  was reunited with a long-lost sister not long ago?         2____
  was somehow prevented from having an accident?      3____
  married an antique dealer?                                                     4____
  thought that his or her life had been saved by a coincidence?      5____
  reads novels when he or she is away?                                    6_____
  Which two people didn't believe in coincidences until recently?    7___8___
