     Sidney didn't have a girl friend and no one wanted to go out with him. He wasn't very tall and he didn't have a car,

either. All the girls that he knew liked tall men with cars. So Sidney sent two dollars and a self-addressed envelope

(写上自己地址的信封) to Computer-date (计算机红娘). After a few days he received a letter: "Find love at last..."

They also sent him the names and addresses of six girls. "Six girls who are waiting to meet you!"

     Sidney rushed to the phone. He phoned Amanda Shelling. She was at the top of his list.

     "How lovely! " she said, "Will you come for me in your car?"

     Sidney put the phone down quietly.

     Then he rang Deborah Basil.

     "How lovely!" she said, "I'll meet you at the bus stop outside my house."

     "How nice!" Sidney thought.

     At half past seven Sidney put on his best clothes. He didn't brush his hair because he liked it " natural (自然的)",

then he walked to the bus stop. A girl was standing by the stop looking at her watch.

     "Excuse me," said Sidney. "Are you Deborah Basil?"

     "Are you Sidney Shooter?" she asked after a minute.

     "Yes, that's right," said Sidney with a smile.

     "There's some mistake," she answered. "I'm not Deborah Basil."
