There was a robbery at City Central Bank last yesterday afternoon. Two men entered the bank at about 4 p.m. and told the bank teller on duty to give them $ 1,000,000. The robbers were carrying guns（枪） and wearing black masks（面具） to cover their faces. The robbers told all the customers （顾客）in the bank to lie down on the floor. Witnesses （证人）said that everyone in the bank was very frightened and did what the robbers told them.
The teller agreed to give them the money but told them they’d have to wait a few minutes. She said the bank manager would have to get the money out of the safety. As the robbers were waiting for the money. the teller tried to press an alarm button(按警报按钮) that was hidden under the counter. It was a silent alarm, so the robbers didn’t realize it had been set off.
Just as the manager arrived with the money, ten police officers entered the bank. The robbers were very surprised that the officers caught them easily. The robbers are now in custody（拘留） , and will appear in court next week.
Police congratulated Miss Alston , the bank teller , on brave act. The bank manager said that he would give Miss Alston a week’s vacation to thank her.

Linda loves her dog Davy.  They went to New York last Saturday.  While Linda was 1    a newspaper at the railway station the dog got out of his box and ran away.

There was a police officer 9    them. The police officer said to Linda, “ I think my dog 10    your dog.”

Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.
This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.
The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”
The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.
A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be Careful about crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the place where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.
