听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why did the writer not get off the bus at Woodford Green?
I love travelling in the country,but I don't like losing my way.
I went on an excursion recently,but my trip took me longer than I expected.
'I'm going to Woodford Green,' I said to the conductor as I got on the bus,'but I don't know where it is.'
'I'll tell you where to get off.' answered the conductor.
I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside,After some time,the bus stopped,Looking round,I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.
'You'll have to get off here,' the conductor said,'This is as far as we go.'
'Is this Woodford Green?' I asked.
'Oh dear,' said the conductor suddenly,'I forgot to put you off.'
'It doesn't matter,' I said,'I'll get off here.'
'We're going back now,' said the conductor.
'Well,in that case,I prefer to stay on the bus,' I answered.

我喜欢在乡间旅行，但却不愿意迷路。最近我作了一次短途旅行，但这次旅行所花费的时间比我预计的要长。
,我要去伍德福德草地，”我一上车就对售票员说，“但我不知道它在那儿。”
,我来告诉您在哪儿下车，”售票员回答说。
我坐在汽车的前部，以便饱览农村风光。过了一些时候，车停了。我环视了一下身旁，惊奇地发现车里就只剩我一个乘客了。
,您得在这里下车，”售票员说，“我们的车就到此为止了。”
,这里是伍德福德草地吗？”我问道。
,哎呀，”售票员突然说，“我忘了让您下车了。”
,没关系，”我说，“我就在这儿下吧。”
,我们现在要返回去，”售票员说。
,好吧，既然如此，我还是留在车上吧。”我回答说。
