 When Dave was eighteen, he bought a second-hand car for £200 so that he could travel to and from work more  36  than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but it got so old, and it was costing him _37  much in repairs, that he decided that he had better  38  it.

He asked among his friends to see if anyone was  39  to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so  40  of them had any desire to buy it.

Dave’s friend Sam saw that he was  41  when they met one evening, and said, “What’s  42  , Dave?” Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising(登广告) it in the paper? You may  43_ more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam’s  44  was reasonable, he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read: “For sale: small car,  45  very little gas, only two owners. Bargain at £50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no  46_,but then on the Saturday evening he had an enquiry (咨询). A man rang up and said he would like to  47  him about the car. “All right.” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o’clock the next morning would be  48_  or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I’ll  49  my wife. We want to go for a ride in it to  50  it.”

The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door,  51  to wait there for the people who had  52  his advertisement. Even Dave had to  53  that the car really looked like a wreck (残破的车). Then, soon after he had got the car as  54  as it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at Dave’s car and then said, “Have you reported this _55  to us yet, sir?”

Ms Lo could hardly bear her sorrow when she received the call that her husband had died in a car accident. Her pain quickly turn to shock---- the car involved in the accident was driven by a friend. That friend, Henry Lee, had chosen to remain silent on the accident details in court. Her shock soon turned to extreme anger when Lee decided not to let out what had happened.

Her husband, Mr. Tan, was 21 when he died after an accident outside Las Vegas KTV at Havelock Road. That night, he was discussing supper plans with a group of friends, which included Lee. Later, Mr. Tan was found unconscious on the ground, next to the car driven by Lee. Mr. Tan died in the hospital a few hours later. Due to drinking driving, Lee was fined $3,000 and banned from driving for two years last month.

Lee, Ms Lo and her husband were colleagues at Asia Pacific-Breweries(APB).

She only heard of the accident and her husband’s death the next morning after the accident as she had switched off her band-phone that night. She told The New Paper, “Receiving the call, I thought it was a joke. I thought he had got his friend to call me to ask me out.” Ms Lo had moved out to live alone for three weeks because of a disagreement with her husband. “The next time I saw him was at the mortuary.(太平间)” She said that Lee went to visit her some days ago but didn’t apologize to her. “He looked sorry but he didn’t speak to me. I wanted to forgive him, but now I have no chance to tell him.” she said.
