My name is Linda Green. I'm a member of a large company which has many sections. There are two
men in important positions in my office - Mr. Thompson and Mr. White. Everyone enjoys working with
Mr. Thompson, but no one likes Mr. White.
Mr. Thompson is always kind and patient. When he wants something done, he'll ask. "Would you mind getting this information for me, please?'" Mr. White is just the opposite. He usually shouts across the room, "Get me the papers, and hurry up."
But Mr. White surprised us this morning. At first we thought he must be sick. He was kind and polite. "Miss Erickson," he asked, " if it isn't too much trouble for you, could you please make these telephone
calls for me?" June Erickson was too surprised to say a word. Right after that, Mr. White said, "Miss
Reed, would you be so kind as to open the window? It's quite warm in here." Then he turned to me, "I'd
appreciate very much if you'd mail these letters for me."
We couldn't imagine why he was behaving so strangely.Should We give him some medicine? Or should we send him to the hospital?
The situation was soon cleared up. "Ladies," Mr. Thompson said, "I've been told that the president(总裁) of our company will be here soon. He's very interested in the welfare (福利) of his employees(雇员)
and will have some questions to ask you about that."
