阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
One night, I was partying in central London, near Piccadilly Circus. Running short of money, I t off to find the nearest ATM to withdraw some cash. At Shaftesbury Avenue, I saw a huge queue for one ATM machine, but no one was using the neighboring “hole in the wall”. Assuming that the cond machine was broken, I asked one queuing man if it was out of order. He replied, “It’s working, but this one pays out twenties for tenners!”
So the reason for the weirdly long queue is that the folks wanted to “double their money” by getting £20 notes for each £10 note requested. Being an honest man, I didn’t hang about; I simply ud the idle machine and walked off.
Last week, customers took similar advantage of Commonwealth Bank in Sydney, Australia. Following overnight maintenance, a computer virus caud CommBank’s ATMs to fail to function properly and begin paying out extra money, with unrestricted withdrawals. They allowed customers with little or no cash in their accounts to withdraw large sums that they didn’t have. After about 5½ hours, CommBank managed to restart the ATMs and stop the flood of cash.
You stole your own cash!
By withdrawing money they didn’t have in their accounts, some of the greedy customers have gone heavily overdrawn. News reports indicate that some people were withdrawing as much as AU$2,500 (£1,563) in a single dealing.
Alas, both CommBank and the New South Wales police said that they will u ATM records and cameras to track down tho who took advantage of the error. As Detective Superintendent Col Dyson of the New South Wales police department warnedttyx, “People should reali that they don’t have the right to take that money and are committing a crimi
nal offence if they keep it.”
