1. When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more _
___ than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him so much in repairs that he decided that he had better __
__ it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly ____ to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so none of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was ____ when they met one evening, and said, “What's up, Dave?” Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may __
__more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's _
___ was sensible(合理的), he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, uses very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no _
___. But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry. A man rang up and said he would like to _
___ him about the car. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be __
__ or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll __
__ my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to __
__ it.”
The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, __
__ to wait there for the people who had
____ his advertisement. Even Dave had to __
__ that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸). Then, soon after he had got the car as clean 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 __
__ to us yet, sir?”
