I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper. “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.” Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You have just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you 27 pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, `Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing. 41. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _____.

Now I’d like to tell you something that took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a grown-up ceremony for out coming 18-year-old birthday. At first we made an oath that as grown-ups we should have a sense of duty for out society from now on. Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally, we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will never forget the day in my life. Yours, Li Hua (责任编辑：admin) |
