    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.

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.
