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（槍） and wearing black masks（面具） to cover their faces. The robbers told all the customers （顧客）in the bank to lie down on the floor. Witnesses （證人）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(按警報按鈕) 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.

A young American doctor was sleeping when suddenly his doorbell began to ring. It was already midnight, but what could the doctor do? He had to get up, put on his coat and go downstairs.

When he opened the door, he saw a man standing with a hat in his hand. “How do you do?” said the man,“ Can you come at once to a place out of town? It’s quite far but you have a car and I can show you the way.”

“Certainly,” said the doctor, “I’m quite ready. I can come at once.” After a few minutes the car was standing at the front door, the man got into the doctor’s car, and they drove off.

They drove on for a long time. Then the man said, “Here we are. This is my home. Now I can pay you and you can go back to town.”

“I must see the patient. How can I go back without seeing the patient?”

“There is no patient,” explained the man. “Nobody is ill. I live here, you see, and one must get home from a town, mustn’t he? There are no taxis this time of the night, but a doctor often makes night calls, so excuse me. Here is money. Thank you, doctor. Good night.”
