The Benton Horde, a priceless collection of ancient Roman silver, 14. (disappeared) from its display cabinet in the British Museum. At today‘s emergency press conference, the Museum director John Clive said, that according to his theory, the treasures 15. (had probably been stolen) by a professional gang on behalf of a specific collector. The matter is that the stolen silver 16. (is) very well-known and it 17. (has never been sold) on the open market.
Ten museums 18. (have been robbed) in the last six months and the number 19. (has been rising) steadily over the last few years. The Benton Horde 20. (is considered) one of Britain‘s most important collections of Roman silver. It 21. (had been lying) undiscovered for almost sixteen centuries beneath a Sussex field until it 22. (was found) incidentally in 1926.
AT INTERVIEW FOR A JOB
On Wednesday I had an important interview for a job.I (got up) at 7 o`clock in the morning and (shaved) carefully. I (put on) my best jacket and trousers. I (had to travel) by train , so I (walked) to the station.
On my way I (saw) a man who (was painting) his fence with red paint.The man (didn't notice) me: he (was looking) at the fence.Then he (turned) suddenly and (splashed) my beautiful trousers! The man (apologised) to me, but the damage (had already been done).
''If I (go) home , I (will be late) for the interview". I (thought) There (is) a department store not far from the station , so I (decided) to buy a new pair.
I (found) a nice pair of trousers and since I (was) in a hurry, I (decided) to change on the train. The stop (was) full , so I (paid) hurriedly for my trousers, (took) my shopping bag and (left) .
I (arrived) at the station just in time to catch the train. Now I (was sure) that I (wouldn't be late) for the interview. I (smiled) happily at an elderly lady who (was staring) at my trousers and (went) to the toilet to change. I (threw) my stained trousers out of the window. Then I (opened) the bag to get my new ones , but all I (found) was a pink woollen sweater!
