Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often __26_ that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so __27__ with the city that he had to leave.

So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were busily _28_ up their new home, the light suddenly __29_. Terry was regretful to have forgotten to bring along 30__ and had to wait _31_ in a low mood. Just then he heard light, hesitant 32_ on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the __33__ night.

“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a _34__ to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be __35__, so he went to the door and opened it __36_. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor. ” “No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door __37__. “What a nuisance(麻烦事)!” He complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to _38__ things.”

After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the same girl outside. __39_ this time she was _40__ two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She _41_ me here to give you these.” Terry was very _42__ by what he saw.
