This was one of my experiences    1   .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the   2   department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister 　　11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more 　　17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had    18    the center in those six months. And    19   ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.

We’re not    20    ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.
