During the Christmas break from college, a young man wanted to borrow his father’s car．He was going to a New Year’s Eve 1 to be held in Vermont．The father was 2 about the son hitting one of the roadblocks that people set up all over the place on New Year’s Eve．However, a(n) 3 was reached that the son would be allowed to use the car, but he would not drink at all．
So he drove to Vermont, got completely 4 , and attempted to drive home．On the way home he hit a roadblock．He was told to 5 the car and stand in a line of people that were being given the sobriety(not drunk) 6 ．However, the policeman 7 him out．He was 8 standing off to the side while the others were 9 the police officer how well they could walk a 10 line, etc．
At 7∶00 am the next morning, his father got up to answer the 11 ．There were 12 policemen there．They asked him if he was the 3 of that red FIAT．He replied, “Yes, I am．” One of the policemen asked him if he was driving the car the evening before and he said that his son had been the driver．
When the young man 14 himself in front of the policemen, he knew he was in some sort of 15 ．Upon questioned he 16 that he was driving the car．But when asked if he had been 17 , he said, “No!” When the policemen asked if they could see his car, he was unable to remember the 18 ．He said that it was in the garage．
And when the four of them walked out to look at the car, instead of looking at the car he had driven the 19 before, they saw a 20 car parked there．
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 ．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 6 ．”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river．And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten．
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said．
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 ．It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles．
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!
When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on our best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church．The 1 in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into 2 based on their ages．
One Easter Sunday, all the kids 3 with big eyes and big 4 about what the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔)had brought． 5 all of the kids shared their stories with 6 , one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat 7 ．One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny 8 you?”He replied, “My mom 9 the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get 10 because he hadn't got a key．”
This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories．My mom knew the true story, 12 ．Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny．
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 ．But my mom announced that we were going home 15 ．At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church．We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church．There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 ：
Dear Bobby,
I'm sorry I 20 your house last night．Happy Easter．
