The London TubeHave you ever wondered what strange things lurk within the London Underground (or "Tube") system? The first things people usually think of are the mice that you can occasionally see running along the tracks. (run) In tact, mice arent the only strange things in the Underground system. Passengers leave behind thousands of objects. Items that were once theirs now reside in London Transport's lost property office. (they) The collection is not open to the public, but a wedding dress, sets of false teeth, artificial limbs and a metre -high Mickey Mouse statue are just some of things people could see if they visited the office. Objects that are left in the office for more than three months are donated to charity or sold at auction. (leave)

It's not just $20, you know." (not hesitate) Shelley thought about it for several moments. She couldn't help wondering how the police would know whose money it was. (who) "Apparently", she said, reading the article further, "if nobody claims the money after a certain period of time, the police RETURNS???/слово не даноб но в любом случае оно должно быть в простом настоящем(present simple) it back to the builder". She wondered whether the builder would be lucky on this occasion.
