At six o’clock
Andy’s favourite programme, “Travel with us”, was on TV. Andy wanted to get
home in 36 for that. But then, just as he was
leaving his office a little 37 ,
a man rang up and kept speaking for the next fifteen minutes. “I can 38 get home in time if I hurry,” Andy told
himself as he 39 out of the office. As he drove off in his
car, he 40 that there was little petrol(汽油)left. “I’ll have to stop at
Fenton’s, ” Andy thought. He 41 Fenton’s because one should get petrol by
oneself at this station. “You do all the work yourself, but you pay 42 for the petrol,” he used to complain. At
Fenton’s, the pump(油泵)was not working well and it 43 ages to get petrol. So when Andy got
home, it was already two minutes past six. Just then the phone rang. “Shall I
answer it?” Andy thought. He tried to watch the programme and forget the phone.
But it 44 ringing and finally he picked it up.
“Mr Andy
Barton?” a 45 said. “Fenton’s Petrol Station here.”
“Fenton’s?”
Andy said. “Why, I was at your place only a few minutes ago, getting some
petrol. Did I 46 something behind or what?”
“No, you didn’t,
Mr Barton. But could you 50 round now and pay for your petrol? And
please hurry! We close at half past six!”
