Old George selected（挑选） his food in the supermarket more carefully than NASA chose its astronauts. When he left the cashier, he was ________ to think that he had saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the cold wind made him ________ his gloves. He looked for them in his coat and pants ________ could not find them anywhere. He had bought the black gloves at a(an) ________ price, for just $35, years ago. They were ________ and very comfortable. He had taken great care looking ________them, so they were in good condition.
George, calm on the outside but mad on the inside, re-entered the ________. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be in vain (徒劳). His _______ were gone. “People have changed,” he said to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not any more!”
He stared at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like ________. On his way to the dairy section, he ________ a lady wearing a pair of black gloves. He sped up and in three seconds was in front of her. But _______ the surprised woman looked over, his eyes dropped, for her gloves were just far too small to be his. He went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. He finally walked out ________ the street.
A few days later, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. ________ getting on the subway, he stepped into the supermarket again. He wanted to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. “What color are they?” the woman in the office asked. “Black,” he ________the same answer. She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of ________ leather gloves. “Are they?”
“Yes! Those are mine,” George exclaimed, his eyes full of joy.
