When he woke up from the bad dream with a start, he thought it was very interesting material, so he wrote it down on a piece paper, left it on the desk and went home.

Only after did he find it was merely about what Mr. Samson had seen in his dream. But it was too late because the newspaper had already been delivered.
In no time the editors met to discuss the serious problem. They finally decided to make an apology in the newspaper. Just at that time word came that a volcano on a small between Java and Sumatra (蘇門答臘島)destroyed 163 villages and killed over 40 000 people . It was really a great tragedy(災難)in human.

It was Monday morning. Susie left home early that day because she was going to start a new job in downtown Manhattan. She was only eighteen and this was her first job. When she got to the bus stop, there were so many people waiting that she almost called a passing taxi. Later she was glad that she had waited for the bus because the traffic was so heavy that even a taxi would not have arrived much earlier. As it was, she was a few minutes late.
She took the elevator (電梯) to the eighth floor and went directly to the office where she had been interviewed (面試) by Mr Samson two weeks before. This was the man she was going to work for. She knocked on the door slightly and waited, but there was no answer. Just then she heard the sound of someone's voice coming from the next office. She opened the door and looked in. There Mr Samson was talking angrily to all the people in the office. He suddenly turned around and left the room. Later in the day, Susie found out what had happened. Because Mr Samson lived forty miles away in Westchester Country, he had to take the train to work and would normally arrive at the office around nine thirty. This morning, however, he happened to catch a late train, and when he arrived at the office, not a single person was working. They were all standing around smoking, chatting and telling jokes.
