Mr. White is a farmer. Last month he 36 his truck to town and on the way his truck knocked down a  37  and hurt him. He sent the boy to a  38 at once. He paid a lot of money for that, but the boy’s  39 wanted to get more money from him. So they said their son could no longer lift his 40 arm above his head.

Mr. White’s lawyer(律师) came and asked the boy a few questions in the court(法庭). “Now, my boy,” he said, “you were hurt 41 , weren’t you?” “Yes, sir,” said the boy. “And you can’t lift your right arm now, can you?” “42 , sir.”

“Could you 43  us how you can lift your right arm?” Slowly the boy lifted his right arm before his nose. “Poor boy,” said the lawyer. “And how 44  could you lift it before the accident?” “Oh, very high,” said the boy proudly (自豪) and the arm went up right over his 45 .
