Several years
ago I studied in a university in the biggest city in our country. It’s
beautiful but it’s hot in __1__. So I usually returned to my hometown
when my __2__ began. It is not big, but it’s cool and quiet. I could __3__
in the daytime and have a good sleep at night.
One day I had
some __4__ to solve. But I didn’t take the dictionaries home. My father
told me Charlie, one of my __5__, had a good library. I went to his
house at once. We didn’t see each other after I __6__ middle school. At
first he didn’t recognize me. He __7__ me up and down. And then he
called out, “Oh, dear! It’s you, Fred!”
Of course we
were __8__ to meet each other again and talked a lot about our
schoolmates and __9__. Later on he showed me around his library. It
wasn’t big but there were a lot of nice books in it. And the dictionaries I __10__
were in them too. At last I said, “__11__ you lend some dictionaries to
me, please?”
“I’m sorry I
don’t lend any books to __12__,” said the young man.
“Are you afraid
I’ll __13__ them?”
“No, I’m not.
I’m afraid you won’t __14__ them to me. Look! All the books are not __15__,
but borrowed!”
