One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey no meals were served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would ask dinner there that night."Are you still serving dinner" asked Mr. Smith."Yes, certainly, sir," answered the man. "We serve it until half past nine.""What are the times of meals then" asked Mr. Smith."Well, Sir," answered the man, "We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five and dinner, from six to half past nine.""But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London." Said Mrs. Smith. In fact Mrs. Smith () what the man had said.

Just over one in ten employees took time off for seven days in a (24) Of these, 9.5 per cent were ill for a week on more than one occasion. In Britain, employees can take sick (25) for up to a week before they have to produce a medical certificate. Owner-managers were far less likely to be off sick than their staff: 3.3 days on average, compared with the 10 days taken by employees. The head of the research team said, ’The most common (26) of absence was minor illness, such as colds or flu, but back strain, fractures and the like (27) for very nearly as much. Of greater (28) is that more that 40 per cent of employers felt that their employees’ sickness may not have been genuine.’ Employers can do more to protect themselves by drawing up adequate (29) of employment that outline the company’s sick pay (30) Enhanced sick pay is then at the employer’s discretion.

They were put in camps with barbed wire around the outside of the camps.Many Japanese-American young men were called into the army. Some of them joined the U.S. Military Intelligence Service or MIS. The MIS was a secret group that fought the Japanese soldiers. This secret group translated important maps and papers. They questioned Japanese prisoners, Another task they did was to translate diaries written in Japanese.Sometimes Japanese soldiers hid in caves to hide from, the Americans. The MIS would try to get the scared soldiers to leave the caves. This was known as "cave flushing." Some of the soldiers would give up and leave the caves.Other Japanese would jump to their deaths.The MIS never got awards for their efforts until the year 2000. Then they were rewarded for their brave acts in World War II. It took almost sixty years for them to be honored.Gayle Yamada has made a film about the brave Japanese-American MIS.
