Mr. King was the manager of a hotel. One weekend all the hotels in the city were full because there was a large meeting. On Friday night, three men came into the hotel and asked the rooms. Mr. King said there were no rooms ready because of the meeting. The men were unhappy. Mr. King wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small  room , was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said they would. Mr. King said the room would be thirty dollars: ten for each one. Each man gave him the money and then went up to the room.

     Mr. King soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room,” he thought . He called his assistant over and  said , “Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room418. I asked too much for their room.”

     The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, “How can three men divide(分) five dollars？I’ll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back, and Mr. King will never know.” So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

     This caused a problem : Each man had at first paid ten dollars .After the assistant returned them one dollar each, each had paid nine. There were three men, $9 x 3 =$27.The assistant kept $2.  $27 +$2 =$29.  Where is the missing dollar?

66. The three men were not happy because___________

A. there was a large meeting.            B. it was weekend.  

C. they wouldn’t have a place to stay.

67. With the help of the manager, the three men _________.

C. stayed together in a small room.

68. At first ___________________.

A. $27 was paid by the three men.

C. $10 was paid by each of the three.

69. The assistant______________.

C. returned three to the three men and two to the manager.

70. Where is the missing dollar?
