I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist proposed that the     society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I     hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood.     the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This is the best thing you     have done. Life has become hopelessly    . A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you     things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I     at the other end of the town. I was     that this simple vehicle could let me     long distances in a fairly short time. But how     did I really go?
Since I hated to be    , I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to     an odometer (里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but    , “An odometer without a speedometer (速度计) is like a     without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (装置) were     to the handlebars of my bicycle. “What about a horn?” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many    .” Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
“You can’t leave the back part    ,” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons     the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven when you feel     on your way? I can give you a special discount.” I was not strong enough to     the offer.
“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.
