It was a new(40)editionto Jason.He thought of his bird with no(41)seedsand the cake he wanted to buy for his mother,but was(42)determinedthat he would not tell a lie.Though he was (43)justa poor newsboy,he had been(44)taught some good things.
The next afternoon Jason went to the office for his papers(45)asusual.Several boys were crowding around Chad,who declared with a(46)proudsmile that he sold six dozen the day before.He added that Jason(47)lostmoney because he would not tell a lie.The boy(48)laughedat Jason."You wouldn't tell a lie yesterday,my boy?"A gentleman at the office came up and patted Jason's shoulder(49)fondly."You're just the boy I am looking for."A week later Jason started his new(50)job.He lost sale of twenty papers because he would not tell a lie,but got a well-paid job because he told the truth.

As for technique,Mom(43)taughtme to begin with the flat spaces outward,always pushing the iron forward into wrinkled (有褶皱的)parts.Collars had to be done right.Mom said they were close to your face,where everyone would(44)seethem.
Over the years,I've learned to iron shirts skillfully,which gives me a sense of(45)prideWhatever failures I suffer in my life,an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something.(46)Besides,through ironing I've learned the method for solving even the most troublesome problems."(47)Dealwithwrinkles one at a time,"as Mom might have said,"and before long everything will get ironed out."
