完形填空
All kinds of people came in to have their shoes shined. Most folks were friendly. But this man was different.
“How much do you make a week, boy?”he asked me. I felt he was __1__ at me.
He kept giving a sharp __2__ around every now and then. All the time I kept __3__ where I'd seen his face. Suddenly I knew. I'd seen his __4__ in the post office many times. He was the big robber: __5__ by the police in three states!
“You know, ”he was saying,“it's imagination people __6__. You'll never get anywhere as a shoeshine boy.”
I kept brushing on his shoes as __7__ as I could. The sooner I finished, the better. He said,“When I was sixteen, I had __8__ $ 2 500 of my own.”
That reminded me of something. Was it $ 2 500 or $ 5 000 or $ 25 000? I wasn't __9__. I knew a big reward was __10__ for him.
But what could I do about it? __11__ him with a can of shoe polish(擦亮剂)? A man his __12__ could grind(压碎)me into the floor. If only someone would come in! He kept talking away(喋喋不休).“Along with __13__, it takes courage. The courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoestring(鞋带).”
Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey __14__ across the street. Then, real fast, I began tightening the man's shoestrings.
The policeman was at the window when I cried out,“Officer Dailey, __15__! This man's a robber.”
“__16__,”the man shouted angrily. He started to jump off the stand. But he didn't go the __17__ he planned. He fell flat on his face and knocked himself out cold.
“That was __18__ clever of you,”the officer said. “You'll get a reward of $ 7 500 for him.”
“Well, it really wasn't my __19__,”I said.“It was his. He told me that __20__ you had courage and imagination, you could start something big on a shoestring.”
