It’s
a sad fact that people steal from hotels. Recently I interviewed Mr
David Wills, the manager of a large hotel, and he (1) me that all
kinds of things, large and small, (2) constantly stolen. Mr Wills
told (3) that a check (4) made on a person’s room as soon as they
(5) (leave)
it, but unless someone had walked off with a wardrobe, he (6)
(advise)
the staff (7) (not/make)
a fuss. “What is even more surprising,” Mr Wills (8) “is the
things people leave behind – anything from wooden legs to false
teeth!” He then (9) on to tell me a story about a snobbish lady who
(10) (recently
check out).
She (11) (object)
that her bill (12) (be)
too high, but paid it nevertheless. Just as she (13) (leave),
the phone rang and the cashier answered it. He then (14) the lady
that a hotel bathrobe was missing from her room. The lady expressed
great surprise and (15) that the hotel maid must have packed it in by
mistake. “But the maid has just reported the bathrobe missing,”
the cashier (16). Hanging over the bathrobe, the lady left in
disgust. “Who wants a second-hand bathrobe, anyway?” she said, as
she made her way to a taxi complaining that hotel service (17) (be)
not what it used to be.

9. Put in the correct forms.

It
had been a particularly bad winter in Chicago. Nearly forty inches of
snow had fallen in a fortnight. Railway workers at Chicago station
didn’t know (1) (what/do)
with it. The foreman (2) (advise
them/shovel)
it into huge mountains to keep the platforms clear. He (3) (tell/not
leave)
any snow on the platforms because it was dangerous for passengers.
But it was an impossible task! Suddenly, one of the workers had a
bright idea. “I know (4) (how/get
rid)
of it,” he said. “Let’s load it onto this freight train. We can
send it south to Mississippi and New Orleans. It’ll just melt
away.” The next day five tons of snow arrived in Memphis,
Tennessee. “It’s a welcome gift,” a railway worker said. “We
know (5) (what/do)
with it here. We’ll send what we can to the children’s
playground. Some of us have never seen snow before!”
