[00:04.28]Lesson 37 1 Dialogue
[00:09.85]Three strdents are searching the room of Linda Bell who has disappeares.
[00:17.21]One of them is worried about her.
[00:20.77]A:I'm sure she'll just turn up.
[00:24.71]I guess she's gone to visit some friends in another town.
[00:30.67]B:Yes,that's possible,but we can't be sure.
[00:35.94]Something may have happened to her.She might have had an accident.
[00:41.87]A:It seems she was in class on Friday afternoon,but no one has seen her since.
[00:48.54]C:Her clothes are here,or at least most of them.
[00:53.68]So it don't think she's left the college.
[00:58.12]And her papers1 and books are all over the desk.
[01:02.85]So it looks as if she meant to return.
[01:07.60]B:I'm worried that something has happened to her.
[01:11.97]It's not like her to have missed two days of classes.
[01:17.14]C:Can you find her purse?If she's gone somewhere she will have taken it.
[01:23.70]A:I can't find it.There are just a few loose coins at the back of the drawer.
[01:30.83]C:What about her money belt?
[01:34.59]She usually wears that round her middle when she goes out.
[01:39.63]A:I can't find that either.
[01:43.29]C:Just minute.She's taken the bag that usually sits on top of the cupboard.
[01:50.13]Obviously she's gone somewhere to stay.
[01:54.49]A:In actual fact,I think you're right.
[01:58.94]And I can't find her passport anywhere.So she must have taken that too.
[02:05.70]B:It looks as if she's gone away for a few days.

[02:24.90]THE TRICK(1)
[02:28.56]Bill Banks was extremely3 worried.
[02:32.40]In his case he had an important computer program
[02:37.57]for a new type of defence4 satellite5 which he was taking to Japan.
[02:44.23]He had picked it up from a research station in the desert the day before.
[02:50.29]Now he was in Cairo6,the capoital of Egypt.
[02:54.94]Once again he paused7 in front of a shop window as though he was admiring something,
[03:01.79]then glanced over his shoulaer before continuing down the street.
[03:06.93]The two men were still following him,that was certain.
[03:11.79]Bill recognized the one with a beard.
[03:15.76]He was sure they wanted to catch him before he could get to the airport.
[03:21.51]"What can I do?"he asked himself.
[03:24.25]Surely ther was somewhere in Cairo where he could escape from them.
[03:30.00]"Ah!"he said aloud.He had had a sudden8 thought.
[03:35.56]He stopped in front of another shop window
[03:39.40]and thought carefully for a few seconds.
[03:43.66]Now...what was the name of the hotel he had stayed in the last time he was in Cairo?
[03:49.54]Which floor had he stayed on?
[03:52.99]In a flash he remembered everything and a plan began to form in his mind.
[03:59.36]He held out his hand and stopped a taxi."Pyramid9 Hotel,"he said to the driver.
[04:06.44]On his arrival10 he went straight to the counter11
[04:11.17]and spoke12 to the clerk in uniform behind it.
[04:15.53]He appeared calm,but inside his heart was beating wildly with fear.
[04:21.88]"I'd like a room for one night,"he said,
[04:25.95]and showed the clerk a little drawing that he had done in the taxi.
[04:31.41]The clerk was very helpful and was able to give Bill exactly the room he required.
[04:38.47]Bill did not go up to his bedroom immediately.
[04:42.91]The two men had followed him to the hotel in another taxi
[04:47.16]and were now watching him through the glass doors of the hotel entrance.
[04:54.92]Bill had a look around.There was only one entrance to the hotel.
[04:59.28]The two men could see him leave the hotel,or they could follow him upstairs,
[05:05.53]break into his room and steal his case.Bill felt a little safer downstairs.
[05:12.61]Outside the entrance stood two police officers with guns.
[05:18.25]In the long passages of this hotel it might be dangerous to walk alone.
[05:24.62]He might be attacked and have his case stolen from him
[05:30.08]He walked over to one of the telephones and called his friend Mick Miles.
[05:36.33]"Mick,this is important.I'm being followed.
[05:41.39]Can you come at once to Pyramid Hotel?How quickly can you get here?Good.
[05:48.45]When you arrive,go to the clerk at the desk.
[05:53.20]Ask for me by name but don't say my name aloud.
[05:58.16]Just show the clerk a piece of paper with my name written on it.
[06:03.34]Don't go to my room.Telephone my room from downstairs.
[06:08.69]Listen,but don't say anything don't repeat anything.That's very important!
[06:16.14]I will tell you what to do.Bring your passport with you and lots of money.
[06:22.80]You're going to Japan instead of me!"
[06:27.06]Bill walked around the ground floor of the hotel
[06:31.50]and bought a magazine from the bookshop.
[06:35.02]He glanced at his watch once again and then looked at the front entrance.
[06:41.40]Outside a taxi was driving up to the hotel.
[06:46.36]It stopped and a tall fair man with sunglasses got out.
[06:52.84]Bill smiled to himself and began to feel less anxious.
[06:59.08]Then he walked up to the counter and spoke to the clerk.
[07:04.05]"Please can someone show me to my room?"
[07:08.62]I'd prefer someone large,he thought to himself.
[07:13.06]They took the lift to the fourth floor and went to Room 411.
[07:19.30]Bill entered the room,had a look around and smiled.This was perfect!

[07:39.55]THE TRICK(2)
[07:43.39]The man with beard smiled to himself.This was perfect!
[07:50.54]Right now he had two men outside the hotel.
[07:55.72]He had two men inside the entrance,two on the stairs.
[08:01.88]And he was sure to make a lot of money.
[08:06.14]The moment he entered the room,Bill fixed13 the chain across the door.
[08:11.78]Then quickly and quietly he pushed a table against the door.
[08:18.26]Someone knocked at the door and the felt afraid for a moment.
[08:21.73]Just then the telephone began to ring.
[08:27.06]One hour later,
[08:30.30]Mick was already at the airport waithing to get on the aircraft14 to Japan.
[08:36.65]This was a strange adventure indeed!
[08:40.72]He had never been to Japan before,but now he had the chance.
[08:46.79]He put his hand inside his case
[08:51.96]and felt the flat box containing the computer program--it was safe with him.
[09:00.29]He wondered whether Bill had managed to escape.
[09:04.73]And what a curious hotel it was! It was perfect for a tricxk like this.
[09:12.18]The two men forced open the door of Room 411,
[09:18.24]broke off the chain and pushed the table to one side.
[09:24.01]They found themselves next to a bathroom at the bottom of a flight of twelve stairs.
[09:32.06]They ran up the stairs into the room.The room was empty.
[09:38.01]Was this a trick? There was nowhere to hide.
[09:43.05]The window was open but it was not possible to climb out of the window because it was too high.
[09:49.82]They turned round and stood in kthe middle of the room,completely astonished15.
[09:56.35]Twelve more steps led up to another door,on the other side of which was Room 511.
[10:05.02]They looked at each other and shook their heads.
[10:09.88]The man with the teard was going to be very unhappy
