［解析］

通读各段后可知本文的大意是作者将100美元交给旅馆的服务员保管，第二天去取时服务员却不承认这件事。在律师的帮助下，作者拿回了自己的钱，但律师所收的费用也正好是100美元。文章是按时间和事情发展的顺序来组织的。

时间状语"About a year ago"交代故事发生的时间，所以F应该是第一段。第二天早上（the next morning）服务员不承认客人寄存了100美元，所以C为第二段。时间状语"After hearing my story"承接上一段最后一句，所以E为第三段。"Then, another hour later"与前一段中的"An hour later"相对应，所以B为第四段。听完律师的话，服务员意识到自己上当了，所以A为第五段。拿到自己的钱，作者应对律师表示感谢，所以D为最后一段。
