Good news
The secretary told me Mr Harmsworth would see me.I felt very nervous when I went into his office.He did not look up from his desk when I entered.After I had sat down,he said that business was very bad.He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.Twenty people had already left.I knew that my turn had come.
'Mr Harmsworth.'I said in a weak voice.
'Don't interrupt.'he said.
Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!

☆look up:朝上看
look down:朝下看
look down upon/on sb:瞧不起某人(词义太重)

☆The firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.(重点)

如此:so,such
so的后面加形容词或副词
such的后面加名词,允许在该名词前加修饰词

记住几个短语:one extra thousand;two others;once more;another three days
