　　One morning, Mrs Smith was driving home after She had done some shopping. When she passed a rubbish dump, she noticed 1 like a microwave oven not far from the side of the road.

　　“John is a good 2 ,” she said to herself. “Perhaps he can 3 this. I'll take it home and let him try.”

　　She picked up the oven and put it in the 4 of her car. Then she drove on 5 . A few kilometers later, she heard the siren of 6 behind her. She looked in the driving mirror and saw a policeman 7 to her to pull over and stop.
