Mr. Cronin has a clock shop in the center of the town. He tries his best to 36  it well. He often receives the customers(顾客)  37  and people like to buy  38  in his shop.

It was a cold day and 39  people would go out to do some _40_. Mr. Black, one of Mr. Cronin’s_41_, came to the shop. He knew the man was_42_ his miserliness (吝啬). But he tried to persuade (说服) him to buy a watch in his shop.

“You’d better buy a watch for 43 _, Mr. Black,” said Mr. Cronin. “It’ll be _44_ to you whenever.”

“No, no,” said Mr. Black. “I’ll _45_need any watches.”

“But how do you know when it’s time to _46_?”

“The people who live around me always _47_ their televisions at seven for the news. So I can hear the announcer(播音员) say,  “ The time is seven o’clock.. Here is the news.”

“But you don’t know when to go to work.”

“That’s _48_,” Mr. Black said with a smile. “It takes me ten minutes to _49_ and shave（刮脸）. I have breakfast at twenty past seven. I get to the bus stop at twenty to eight and fifteen minutes later arrive at my office and _50_ working.”

“When do you _51_ your office, then?”

“There’s a _52_ near it, its siren(汽笛) can tell me the right time.”

“How do you know the time if you _53_ in the middle of the night?”

“I always put a stick by my bed”

“But a stick can’t tell you the time”

“You’re _54_. But I can use it to knock on your wall. You always _55_, “What are you knocking on my wall for at two in the night?”

Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.

He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up his alarm clock. He tried to shave（刮脸）quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing（熨）, so he ironed it. While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door. It was the man to read the electricity meter（表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good-bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt. So he had to wear the one with the blood on it after all. By this time it was very late, so he decided he couldn’t go to work by bus. He telephoned for a taxi to take him to work. The taxi arrived and Harry got in and began to read the newspaper.

In another part of the town, a man had killed a woman with a knife and was seen to run away in a taxi. When Harry’s taxi stopped outside his office, a policeman happened to be standing there. He saw the blood on Harry’s shirt, and took him to the police station. He was kept till 3 o’clock in the afternoon before the police were sure that he was not the man they wanted. When he finally arrived at the office at about four, his boss took a look at him and told him to go away and find another job.
