One day Mrs. Smith gave her husband a  23  of her shoes which needed mending and asked him to  24  them to the shop. Mr. Smith did so, and put the  25  for them in his pocket.

“How do I know that the shoes are  30  unless you give me the ticket?” he said. “If I give them to you now, somebody  31  may come into my shop with the ticket tomorrow, and then I shall not be able to give him the shoes.”

“Where is the bus? Why is it always late?” I asked myself. I was going to be late   36  the manager wasn’t going to be pleased. “Thank God, here it is!” The bus came round the corner and I got on. Ten minutes later I was walking into the   37  where I work. “Twenty-five past nine. I  38 the manager doesn’t notice.” But I was not   39.
“Smith!” shouted the manager. “Late again. What’s your   40 this time?” “I am afraid the bus was late, Mr. Brown.” “41  up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter(柜台). We’ll be opening in a few minutes.”
My first customer was a pretty girl wearing a red dress.   42  her was a young man of about 23. He seemed very 43 , and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl drew some money and   44 about opening an account. I gave her necessary   45 and she went out.   46 I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something 47   with brown paper. Turning to my next customer, I was frightened to see a gun sticking out of his coat. The next moment a loud noise 48   my ears. Everything went black. I was falling… It seemed to be a long time  49  I opened my eyes and I found myself in bed!  50  shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house.  51  the bus wasn’t on time, and I got to the bank at 9:25.
“Smith!” the manager cried out in a voice like thunder. “  52  of your excuses! Start work at once!” To my 53  the first customer was a girl 54  a red dress and behind her stood a man carrying something wrapped in brown paper. The  55 ! Sometimes life is full of coincidences (巧合)!
