Mrs．Kelly returned me a glass of ice and a bottle of wine．She said, “Sit down．It’s not often I have a person to talk to．Of course, I have my cats．Anyway, you’ll spend the night?I have a nice little 1 that’s been waiting such a long time for a guest．In the morning you can walk to the 2 and catch a ride(搭车)into town．It’s about five miles away．”
I asked how she could live alone, without transportation(运输工具)or a telephone, she told me her good friend, the postman, 3 all her shopping needs．“ He is really so dear, but he is going to retire(退休)next year． 4 that I don’t know what to do．But something will turn up． 5 a kindly new postman．Tell me, just what kind of accident did you have?”
When I told her the whole 6 , she said, “ You did the right thing．I won’t set(安放) 7 in a car with a man who has even drunk a mall glass of wine．That’s how I lost my 8 ．We had lived together for forty years, forty happy years, and I lost him because of a drunken(酒后的)driver……
Charlie is twenty-three now．He 1 a university(大学)and found work in a factory last year．It's 2 and there are no more than fifty workers in it．And only he 3 in a university．So he looks down upon(瞧不起)his 4 ．He always thinks he's right and never agree with 5 ．He likes to say,“I've never made a mistake!”
But once the young man couldn't 6 a foreign instructions(说明书)．An old worker studied it for two days and 7 Mr White, the boss(老板)of the factory, 8 it meant．The boss asked him why．He made a few excuses to say for 9 ．And he didn't agree with the old man．The boss became angry and asked,“Is it 10 that you've never made a mistake?”
The young man wouldn't make Mr White 11 and had to say,“No, it isn't, sir．”
Having 12 this, the workers were happy．One of them asked,“It means that you also make some mistakes!”
Charlie 13 his mind at once and said,“I made only one mistake in my 14 !”
“When?”the boss asked in surprise．
“Just now, sir,”answered the young man．“When Mr White 15 me acknowledge(承认)I was wrong!”
