练习材料：Lesson 15 Good news
The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth- would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk- when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that- business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay- such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew- that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. 'Don't interrupt,' he said. Then- he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
