問題詳情：

Tom arrived at the bus station quite early for Paris. The bus for Paris would not leave until five to twelve. He saw a lot of people waiting at the station. Some were standing in line, others were walking around. A teacher was trying to keep a group of schoolgirls in line. Tom looked around but there was no place for him to sit.

He walked into the station cafe. He looked up at the clock there. It was only twenty to twelve. He found a seat and sat down before a large mirror(鏡子) on the wall. Just then, Peter, one of Tom’s workmates came in and sat with Tom. “What time is your bus?” asked Peter. “There is a lot of time yet.” answered Tom. “Well, I’ll get you some more tea then.” They talked while drinking. Then Tom looked at the clock again. “Oh! It’s going backward(反方向的)!” he cried. “A few minutes ago it was twenty to twelve and now it’s half past eleven.” “You are looking at the clock in the mirror.” said Peter. Tom was so sad. The next bus was not to leave for another hour. Since then Tom has never liked mirrors.
