Question

【題目】 Pat Brown went to her bank to ask for an ATM (自動取款機) card. It looks like a credit card. A few weeks later, the bank posted her a card and a four—number personal identification number (PIN). Her PIN is 1234.

As Pat was getting ready for bed one night, she remembered that she had only $2 in her bag. The next day she had to give $10 for a lunch for a co—worker. She didn’t want to get up early to go to the bank. So she had to go to the bank that night. She used her ATM card to take out $50 from her checking account (賬戶).

These are the steps she followed to withdraw (提取) money. First, she put her card in the lower slot (狹孔) on the right side of the machine. She made sure her card was facing the right way. Second, the computer screen said, “Please enter your PIN.” Pat pressed the number 1, 2, 3 and 4. Next, the screen said, “Please select type of transaction (交易) you want by pressing other keys.” Pat pressed the button key for taking out money.

Then the screen said, “From which account?” The choices it gave were Checking, Savings, and Money market. Pat pressed the key for Checking. Next, the screen said, “Please select amount (數(shù)量) of transaction (辦理).” Pat pushed the number 5 and then 0 three times, and the screen read, “50.00.” The screen then read, “Please wait.” In less than a minute, it read,“Please lift the lid and take your money.”

Pat lifted the lid marked withdraw (提取). She counted her $50 to make sure the ATM hadn’t made a mistake. Then she waited for her withdrawal slip to come out of the slot at the upper right corner of the machine. Pat checked the slip to make sure it was correct. Then her ATM card was returned through the card slot. She put it in her bag and walked away. If Pat had made a mistake at any point by pressing the wrong button, she could have pressed Cancel (取消, 刪去) and started over again.
