Mrs. Green, including her husband and three children, lived in a city, 　　36　 　was very near the countryside. She worked 　37　 　a teacher and gave music lessons at a school. Of course she was fond of _　 38___　　　　　 　

Mrs. Green had a good voice and she 　39　 　her students classes exciting. But she had a 　40　　 point. Some of her notes (音调) were so high that they sounded like a door which needed 　　41　 . In order to improve her notes, she took 　　42　 　chance that she could find to practise .

　　　　　 As her house was not big, she couldn’t practise 　43　 　in it. So she usually left home, walking and singing 　　44　 　the country road. She practised her high notes 　45　 　walking. However, each time she learned a person or a car　 46　 　along the road, she 　47　 　singing. She did not want her high notes to be 　48　 , for she was shy(害羞的).

　　　　　 One afternoon a fast open car came up to her so 　49　 　and so fast that she didn’t 　　50 　it until the car was only a few meters away. She was practicing some of her 　51　 　and most difficult notes at that time. As the car passed by, she saw a 　　52　 　expression come over the driver’s face. He stopped suddenly to 　53　　 　all the tyres(轮胎)carefully.

　　　　　 Mrs. Green felt it shy to tell the driver what the 　54　 　he had heard really was. The driver found 　　55　 　wrong, got back into the car and drove off.
