Question

Mr. Smith

Mr. Smith was in trouble those days. He drove a car for Mr. Black,a rich businessman. He worked hard and the shopkeeper liked him. But he couldn⁹1 work when he drank too much. And once he almost fell into the river when he drove along the bridge. Mr Black became angry and was going to send him a-

way. He had a big family and was afraid of it and promised (许诺) he would stop drinking at once. The

man told him to wait to be dealt with (处置).

Our team lost the game and I felt sorry for it. As soon as I went into the sitting-room,the phone rang and I answered the iron!”
