He's an old cobbler（修鞋匠） with a shop in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me” I have 1 time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he'll fix them for you right away. "
But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench 2 with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a 3 craftsman （手艺人）. "No," I replied, "the other fellow 4 do it well. "

The man saw I wouldn't give in, and he 8 . He looked at my 9 , had me write my 10 on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said," Come back in a week.

There are times when nothing is important 17 the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it" 18 " In such a period it is rare（罕见的） comfort to 19 a cobbler who gets his 20 satisfaction from pride in a job well done.

世纪百通期末金卷系列答案There are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct”on it．The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to “OK”．
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York．Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President .They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”．
