IF and WHEN often had lunch together. Their conversation always 16 on the things they hoped to achieve and they loved to talk about them.
This particular Saturday when they met for lunch, WHEN 17 IF wasn’t in a great mood（心情）. After they sat at the usual table 18 for them, WHEN asked IF, “You don’t seem your usual 19 self?” IF replied,“Yesterday I saw a course I wanted to take. If only I 20 the time.”
WHEN knew exactly how IF felt and said, “I too saw a 21 and I’ m going to register when I get 22 money.” WHEN then questioned IF, “What about the new job you were going to apply for?” IF answered, “I would have applied, but my 23 broke down. I couldn’t type my resume(简历).”
“Don’t worry. I’ve been thinking about looking for another job also, 24 I’ll wait and when the weather gets 25 I will look then. I hate this awful weather.”
The man sitting nearby heard them talking about when this and if that. When he couldn’t 26 it anymore, he went to them and said, “I think I know 27 you could solve your problems.”
