The books in David’s schoolbag felt like bricks as he ran down the street. What he wanted to do was to play basketball with Eric,  21  his mother told him he would have to return his sister’s books to the library first.

He had  22   set foot in a library and he wasn’t about to do so today. He would just  23  the books in the outside return box. But there was a  24  ; it was locked.

He went into the building, only a few minutes  25  closing time. He put the books into the return box. And after a brief  26  in the toliet, he would be on his way to the playground to  27  Eric.

 34  he could see. David wrote on a piece of paper: “  35  ! I’m TRAPPED inside!” and stuck it to the glass door.  36  , someone passing by would see it.

He was surprised to discover that this place was not so unpleasant,  37  . Rows and rows of shelves held books, videos and music. He saw a book about Michael Jordan and took it off the shelf. He settled into a chair and started to  38  .

He knew he had to  39  , but now, that didn’t seem to be such a  40  thing.

We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to  21  a car because we had sold the one we had in England before  22  home. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was  23 . I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet  24  driving in this city, my wife did not want me to collect it  25  so we went together to  26  it. We paid for the car and  27  the papers. They told us that there was  28  petrol（汽油）to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The  29  garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there  30 . But when I turned into main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing  31  me. I got out of  32  as fast as I could by backing into the garage  33  and the man behind  34  me.

“It’s such a problem to  35  to drive on the right side, isn’t it?” my wife said. “Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for  36 .” I replied. “You had better go  37  on the way home,” my wife said. “You’d be sorry if you had  38  on the first day, wouldn’t you?” While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English,” Would you mind telling me  39  you are thinking of leaving?  40  are you going to sit in your car all day?”
