    In this small town there was not a single man of importance who would dare to have a housekeeper younger than sixty, for fear of what people might say about them. I was __1__, however. When I needed a housekeeper I __2__ a girl called Bridle Casey, a lovely little girl of seventeen from a village up the coast. But I __3__ my choice carefully. I drove out there one day when she was at home, and I had a look at the cottage and a __4__ with her mother and a cup of tea, and after that I did not need anyone to say that she was __5__. I knew if there was anything Bridle did not do __6__, her mother would not __7__ long to correct her. After that, there was only one __8__ to raise.

    No, doctor, I have not,” said she with a simple expression that did not __10__ me a bit. As a doctor you soon get used to innocent(无邪的) __11__.

    “Well, you’d better __12__ and get one.” said I, “__13__ I’m not going to take you.”

    __14__ this she laughed.

    __15__ she started working at my house. She proved to be very __16__ and efficient (高效率的). Of course, she was so good-looking that people who came to my house used to pass __17__ about us. But that didn’t matter. They did not dare to hire a pretty girl themselves for __18__ of what people would say. But I knew as long as a girl had a man of __19__ to look after she would give me __20__.

  During our two months on the road,Bennett and I had a really   1   experience with a good, honest   2   and some helpful mechanics(机修师).

  We were driving east on Highway 10 when our “check engine” light came on.We limped(拐)off a(n)  3   into Las Cruces.We had a real car   4  .Bennett nursed the car into a local garage.By this time the car was missing(熄灭)so   5   it was shaking all over.This was the   6   time to arrive at a garage–late Friday afternoon.Service adviser Scott was busy   7   paper work and customers as we   8   our problems.  9   he was already “ten cars behind”, he told us to pull the car into the garage.

  Lincoln, who we later   10   was one of the top motor technicians,took   11   of our car repairing.He and Scott and some other mechanics stayed several hours after closing,   12   the car.

  Early the next morning(the shop was officially closed on Saturdays), Lincoln finally located the   13   and fixed it easily within only   14  

  Later Scott   15   out to us that it was our attitude that helped.“You didn’t come into the place demanding this or that.You showed an   16   of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon.Customer’s attitude means a lot.” He was right in some way, customers should show   17   and understanding to people who   18   them.  19   people were extremely busy, they found way to at least try and help when they are met with politeness.

  Mr.White   8   us this morning, though.At first we thought he   9   sick.He was kind and agreeable.“Miss Erickson,” he asked, “if it isn’t   10   trouble for you, could you please   11   these telephone calls for me?” Miss Erickson   12  .Right after that, Mr.White said, “Miss Reed, would you be so kind as to open the window?It’s   13   warm in here.”   14   he turned and said to me.“I’d   15   it very much if you could mail these letters for me.”

  We couldn’t imagine   16   he was behaving so strangely.Should we   17   him aspirin(药片)?  18   had Mr.White changed his personality.

  The situation was soon cleared up.“Ladies,” Mr.Thompson said, “ I’ve   19   that the president of the company will be here soon.He’s very interested in the welfare(福利)of his employees and will have some questions   20   you about your working conditions here.”
