[C]Story two  word:  acceptance-----accuse[/C]

   
    Mrs. Black has a savings account with a nearby bank, and recently she started to receive statements not in accordance with her books. According to one notice, it said that she owed the bank $200,000. 「Are they really expecting my acceptance of this?」 she thought. So, accompanied by Mr. Black she marched in to the bank the next morning. After hearing her story the accountant behind the counter explained that 「there has been an accidental miscounting.」 」but this is not the first time. The book keeping has never been in accord with reality!」 Mrs. Black argued , and she insisted on withdrawing all her money. However, she was told that 「the computer is down」 and she couldn』t even access her money! By this time there were quite a few people standing in the access to the counter. They heard the conversation and of their own accord all took a stand in support of Mrs. Black. With one accord, they all accused the bank of not being accurate with their bookkeeping and insisted that measures be taken accordingly to achieve accuracy. As the number of customers accumulated, the Board members met and were in accordance that inaccuracy couldn』t be accepted and sent for the manager from his office accommodation to account for the mistakes. Dissatisfied with the fact that the manager failed to accomplish his duty and achieve accuracy in his performance, the Board reached an accord and fired the manager. They also accorded Mrs. Black 「favored Customer」 of the month.









[C]譯文[/C]



    布萊克夫人在附近一家銀行有一個儲蓄賬戶,最近她開始收到與她長目不相符的通知單。按一張通知單所說,她欠這家銀行20萬美元。「他們難道真指望她接受這個?」她想。於是在布萊克先生的陪同下,第二天上午她大步走進了銀行。櫃檯后的會計人員聽了她的敘說后解釋說他們「偶然算錯了。」「可這己經不是第一次了,你們記的賬與事實從來不一致!」布萊克夫人說道。她堅持要取出全部存款,但卻被告知「電腦壞了」,她無法取她的錢!此時櫃檯前的通道上己站了不少人,聽了此番話都主動地站在布萊克夫人一邊,他們一致指責銀行記賬不準確並且堅持要求銀行採取相應的措施以保證準確。隨著顧客人數的積聚,董事會召開了會議並一致認為不準確的賬目不能被接受,他們把銀行經理從他辦公室住處叫來並要求他解釋出錯的原因。由於對經理不能完成其職責及在工作中達不到精確的要求很不滿意,董事會達成一致意見,解僱經理,並給予布萊克夫人當月「最惠顧客」待遇。

To 鬱郁惋風

It seems the two pieces you have posted here have one thing in common: The contents are dictated by the words within the alphabetical range set in the title. In other words, the passages you've posted are the results of some sort of a word game, with little concern for grammar, logic, or common sense.
It is therefore very misleading, and possibly damaging to the learners who will LEARN the passages instead of LAUGHING at them.
You should not present them as LEARNING material.
