名师解析
　　这是一道根据所给的首字母填词的试题，文章叙述的是在俄罗斯旅游的Ed Jackson 遇到的一件很尴尬又无奈的事情。
　　1. to, 这是一个固定短语write to(给某人写信)。
　　2. money, 根据第一句话中的“Ed Jackson ran short of money.”可知此处应该填入money才对。
　　3. visiting, 当Ed Jackson 写信一周后，他就会到银行去等待他哥哥的汇款了。因此他每天会到银行去的，以v开头的单词只有visit 了。而且表示”开始做某事”应用begin doing something。
　　4. showed, show something to somebody 的意思是“给某人出示某物”。
　　5. on, 根据文章的意思，Ed Jackson去银行的事情是持续了几个星期的。这里用go on 表示动作的持续。
　　6. worried, 由于汇款迟迟不来，Ed Jackson肯定会着急的。
　　7. where, 以字母w开头的疑问词，在这里填入where 是最佳的，根据上下文也是这个意思。
　　8. before, 这句话是过去完成时，应该用before表示”以前”的含义。
　　9.pay, pay bill的意思是“付款，付账”。
　　10.sent, 这里肯定是将Ed Jackson 送到警察局去的。
