"Where is the bus?" I asked myself. I was going to be late and the manager wasn't going to be pleased." Thank God, here it is!" The bus came round the corner and I got on. Ten minutes later I was walking into the bank where I work," Twenty-five past nine, I hope the manager doesn't notice. "But no such luck!
"Smith!" shouted the manager." Late again. What's your excuse this time?" "I'm afraid the bus is late, Mr Brown."" Get up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter(柜台).We'll be opening in a few minutes."
My first customer(顾客)was a pretty girl wearing a red dress. Behind her was a young man of about 25.He seemed very nervous, and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl asked about opening a bank account(帐户).I gave her the necessary information and she walked out. Then ,I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something covered with brown paper. Turning to my next customer, I was terrified to see a gun stuck out of his coat. The next moment a loud noise filled my ears. Everything went black. I was falling… After what seemed a very long time, I opened my eyes and found myself －in bed! still shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house. As usual ,the bus wasn't on time, and I got to the bank at 9:25.
"Smith!" the manager cried out in a voice like thunder." None of your excuses! Go start work at once!" To my surprise, the first customer was a girl in a red dress and behind her stood a man carrying something wrapped in brown paper. The dream! Wasn't that the surprise of my life![NMET93]
