　　 Todd was working at his gas station（加油站）at night when he heard over the radio that a 26 in Long Island had been 27 by an armed man who had killed the night guard and got away with $ 150,000.‘One hundred and fifty thousand,’ Todd whistled. Here's a fellow who just 28 into a bank and helps himself 29 so much money. Todd thought of the 30 with which he
managed to get the amount of money he 31 to start his gas station, So many papers to 32 , so much money to pay back. The news 33 twenty minutes later. The gunman had 34 a car for aride, and then 35 out the driver. He was possibly 36 the Southern State Parkway in a whiteFord. License plate（车牌）number LJR1939. The 37 of the announcer continued:‘ 38 out forwhite cars. Don't pick up 39 ,and all you folks in gas stations better not do 40 to a whiteFord car.’ Todd stood up and 41to see out into the cold night. It was dark but Todd 42 theSouthern State Parkway was out there. Just 43 , Todd saw the headlights coming at him and acar pulled in for 44 . There it was, a white Ford. He saw the 45 , LJR1939. ‘What should Ido?’Todd had to make a quick 46 .‘Yes, sir?’Todd 47 while making up his mind for sure.‘ 48 her up,’the man said sounding like any other 49 . When the tank （油箱）was full, Todd quickly turned round and pointed a gun at the man. ‘Hands up 50 get out!’

　　I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists and I feel I work hard for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week. I met the group at the airport and took them to the coach. The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn't far to the hotel and everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn't used the Hotel Riviera before, but our normal one had a conference in it so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they were full. I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognised my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the end the manager phoned other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time the coach had gone so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very angry with me. I still don't know who made that phone call but it definitely wasn't me.
