1.A few days ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg.I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it (11)D,as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home.(12)A I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first (13)B expecting a friendly reception.I was quite (14)D.The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop,though slightly more (15)C,was just the same,and the third and the fourth--so I decided that my (16)A must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a(n)(17)C in my mind.I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,"Would you like to (18)B a chair?"He looked it over (19)D and said:"Yes,not a bad chair.How much do you want for it,Sir?"
"Twenty pounds,"I said."OK,"he said."‘I'll give you twenty pounds.""It's got a slightly broken leg,"I said."Yes,I saw that.It's (20)A."
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting(21)B."What will you do with it?"I asked."Oh,it will be easy to sell (22)C the repair is done.""I'll buy it,"I said."What do you mean?You've just (23)A it to me,"he said."Yes,I know but I've (24)B my mind.I am sorry.I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.""You must be (25)D,"he said.Then,(26)C the penny dropped."I know what you want.You want me to repair your chair."
"You're (27)D,"I said."And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,‘Would you mend this chair for me?'""I wouldn't have (28)D to do it,"he said."We don't do repairs,not enough money in it and too much (29)A.But I'll mend this for you.Shall we say for five pounds?"
He was a very nice man and was greatly (30)B by the whole thing.
