　　“You will meet a man in the theatre foyer,” K. explained. “He will have left before the play ends and will be 1 for you. He'll be wearing a dark suit and carrying a theatre 2 upside down, although I doubt if you could miss him. There shouldn't be many people waiting in the foyer at that time of night. 3 he asks you to do, whatever instructions you're given, co-operate. Understood?” I nodded. I knew of course that we were planning to have discussions with “the other side” and that we intended to 4 back one of our own men, but all this seemed a bit ridiculous. I had been told at the training school that I would be likely to get some simple but rather strange 5 to begin with. They had been 6 .

　　The curtain had 7 come down on the last act of the play when I was out of my 8 and walking from the dark of the theatre into the bright lights of the foyer. He was there. But the moment I saw him, I had the 9 that something unpleasant was about to happen. He seemed to be 10 at a spot on the floor, and looked as if he was just about to pick something up when 11 was a single gun shot and he was thrown 12 the wall. The warning signs had obviously got to me 13 I realized consciously what was going to happen, because I had 14 in a cold sweat on seeing the expression on his 15 . The moment the shot rang out, I automatically fell back on my training and threw myself to the 16 .

　　When no more shots followed, I looked 17 and was just in time to see two masked men 18 my“contact” out of the front door of the theatre. I didn't know 19 he was dead or badly injured, but I intended to find out. I got up slowly and carefully and 20 for the door.

　　If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak; and when you start using them again, they will slowly become strong again. 1 knows this, and nobody would think of 2 the fact.

　　Yet there are many people who 3 to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that 4 has a good memory, he 5 means that he keeps his memory 6 practice by exercising it very 7 , either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is 8 , he means that he does not give it enough 9 to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of 10 people, one of 11 exercises his arms and legs by playing balls, while the other 12 in a chair or a car all day. If a friend of yours says that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own 13 . But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, 14 of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just 15 , and few of us realize that it is just as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become very strong in body or very clever in mind, 16 all of us can improve our strength and our memory by the same means 17 .

　　Have you ever 18 that people who cannot read or write usually have 19 memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because they cannot write down something in a little notebook or something else. They have to remember names, places, songs and stories; so their memory is always being exercised.

　　In a word, if you want to have a good memory, 20 practise remembering.

　　Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.

　　This seemed like a very 3 process, but there's always some 4 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 5 that we find ways to 6 people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 7 my communication.

　　Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story, “Making my 8 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff 9 of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a 10 on him.

　　After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 11 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth, but I lied.
