练习材料：

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 meI would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
