高三英语unit10，The trick.

Dialogue.

Three students are searching the room of  Linda bell who has disappeared.One of them is worried about her.

I'm sure She'll just turn up.I guess she's gone to visit some friends in another town.

Yes, that's possible, but we can't be sure.Something may have happened to her.She might have had an accident.

It seems she has in class on Friday afternoon. But no one has seen her since.

Her clothes are here or at least most of them.So I don't think she's left the college.And her papers and books are all over the desk.So it looks as if she meant to return.

I'm worried that something has happened to her.It's not like her to have missed two days of classes.

Can you find her purse?If she's gone somewhere, she will have taken it.

I can't find it. There are just a few loose coins at the back of the drawer.

What about her money belt?She usually wears that round her middle when she goes out.

I can't find that either.

Just a minute.She's taking the bag that usually sits on Top of the cupboard .Obviously she's gone somewhere to stay.

In actual fact, I think you're right.And I can't find her passport anywhere.So she must have taken that too.

It looks as if she's gone away for a few days.

The trick.

Bill banks was extremely worried.In his case, he had an unfortunate computer program for a new type of defense satellite which he was taking to Japan.He has picked it up from a research station in the desert the day before.Now he was in cairo, the capital of Egypt.Once again, he paused in front of a shop window as though he was admiring something, then glanced over his shoulder before continuing down the  street.The two men were still following him that was certain.Bill recognized the one with a beard.He was sure they wanted to catch him before he could get to the airport.What can I do? He asked himself.Surely there was somewhere in cairo where he could escape from them.Ah he said aloud. He had had a sudden thought.He stopped in front of another shop window and thought carefully for a few  seconds.Now...What was the name of the hotel he had stayed in the last time he was in cairo?Which floor  had he stayed on?In a flash he remembered everything and a plan began to form in his mind.He held out his hand and stopped a taxi.Pyramid hotel, he said to the driver.

On his arrival, he went straight to the counter and spoke to the clerk in uniform behind it.He appeared calm. But inside his heart was beating wildly with fear.I'd like a room for one night.He said and showed the clerk a little drawing that he had done in the taxi.The clerk was very helpful and was able to give bill exactly the room he required.Bill did not go up to his bedroom immediately.The two men had followed him to the hotel in another text. And well now watching him through the glass doors of the hotel entrance.Bill had a look around.There was only one entrance to the hotel.The two men could see him leave the hotel, or they could follow him upstairs, break into his room and steal his case.Bill felt a little safer downstairs.Outside the entrance is due to police officers with guns.In the long passages of this hotel, it might be dangerous to walk alone.He might be attacked and have his case stolen from him.

He walked over to one of the telephones and called his friend Mick miles.Make this is important.I'm being followed.Can you come at once to pyramid hotel?How quickly can you get here? Good, when you arrive, go to the clerk at the desk. Ask for me by name but  don't say my name aloud.Just should collect a piece of paper with my name driving on it.Don't go to my room.Telephone my room from downstairs.Listen don't say anything and don't repeat anything.That's very important.I will tell you what to do.Bring your passport with you and lots of money.You are going to Japan instead of me.

Bill walked around the ground floor of the hotel and bought a magazine from the bookshop.He glanced at his watch once again and then looked at the front Entrance.All said a taxi was driving up to the hotel, it stopped and a tall fireman with the sunglasses  got out..Bill smiled to himself and began to feel less anxious.Then he walked up to the county and spoke to the clerk.Please can someone show me to my room?i’d prefer someone large,he thought to himself.They took the lift to the fourth floor and went to the to room4 11.Bill entered the room had a look around and smiled, this was perfect.

The man with a beard smiled to himself.This was perfect.Right now he had two men outside the hotel. He had two men inside the entrance,two on the stairs. And he was sure to make a lot of money.

The moment he entered the room,Bill fixed the chain across the door.Then quickly and quietly he pushed a table against the door.Someone knocked at the door and he felt afraid for a moment.Just then the telephone began to ring.

One hour later.Make was all right at the airport waiting to get on the aircraft Japan.This was a strange adventure indeed.He had never been to Japan before. But now he had the chance.He put his hand instead in his case and felt the flat box containing the computer program--It was safe with him.He wondered whether bill had managed to escape.And what a curious hotel it was.It was perfect for a trick like this.

The two men forced open the door of room 411.Broke off the chain and pushed the table to one side.They found themselves next to a bathroom at the bottom of a flight of 12 stairs.They run up the stairs into the room.The room was Empty.Was this a trick?.That was nowhere to hide.The window was open, but it was not possible to climb out of the window because it was too high.They turned around and stood in the middle of the room ,completely astonished.12 more steps that up to another door, on the other side of which was room 511.They looked at each other and shook their heads.The man with the beard was going to be very unhappy.
