When Dave was eighteen, he bought a second-hand car for ￡200 so that he could travel to and from work more 36 than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but it got so old, and it was costing him _37 much in repairs, that he decided that he had better 38 it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was 39 to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so 40 of them had any desire to buy it.
Dave’s friend Sam saw that he was 41 when they met one evening, and said, “What’s 42 , Dave?” Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising(登广告) it in the paper? You may 43_more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam’s 44 was reasonable, he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read: “For sale: small car, 45 very little gas, only two owners. Bargain at ￡50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no 46_. but then on the Saturday evening he had an enquiry (咨询). A man rang up and said he would like to 47 him about the car. “All right.” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o’clock the next morning would be 48_ or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I’ll 49 my wife. We want to go for a ride in it to 50 it.”
The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, 51 to wait there for the people who had 52 his advertisement. Even Dave had to 53 that the car really looked like a wreck (残破的车). Then, soon after he had got the car as 54 as it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at Dave’s car and then said, “Have you reported this _55 to us yet, sir?”

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable 26 when I was teaching second 27 10 years ago.
In May I decided to plan something special for the children：a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to 28 ideas of how to 29 our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised but 30 to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 31 invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child 32 up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 33 it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking 34
I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was 35 if you could keep my mother 36 while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 37 my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had 38 the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep 39 .
Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s 40 and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if 41 was completed. When I came 42 Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 43 his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t 44 it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 45 stopped hugging teachers years ago.
