My Watch

  If you have a watch, don’t repair it! I know it for certain. Once I had a beautiful watch ,and this 48   kept perfect(准确的) time. But one night it so happened that I forgot to wing it up(上发条). Next   49  I went to a 50  as I wanted my watch to be set the exact time. The watchmaker examined my watch and said, “The regulator(调节器)is to be pushed up(拨一拨)as your watch is 4 minutes  51 ”. I tried to stop him, tried to make him understand that my watch kept the perfect tine, but he didn’t listen to me and push the regulator

  My beautiful watch began to gain. It gained faster and faster day by day. By the end of the second mouth it had left all the   52  and watches of the town far behind.

  What did I have to do? To take it to another watchmaker to be regulated. I expected him to regulate the watch immediately,  53  he told me to come in a week. When at last I took my watch from him, it began to slow down. And I began to be late for trains, business appointments and even missed my dinners.

  Now I went to the third watchmaker. While I waited for him to repair my poor watch, he took it to pieces and said that he could mend it in 3 days. I had 54 to do but agree. That time my watch went for half a day and then  55 (stop).

  So I kept taking my watch from one watchmaker to another for a considerable period of time. And as a result of it the cleverest man in the world could not tell the time by my watch. The thing was getting serious. My watch had cost hundred dollars originally, but I paid for repairs over two thousand. At last I decided to buy another watch.

48. watch  49.morning  50. watchmaker 51. slow

52. clocks  53. but      54. nothing    55. stopped

    I had been sitting by myself in my usual compartment (车厢) for at least ten minutes 1  for the train to start. The train never seemed to start 2  and I often thought that I could have  3  in bed a little 4 or  had 5  cup of tea before  6  home. Suddenly I heard someone shouting  7 the platform (月台) outside. A young girl was running  8  the train. The man  9  put out his hand to stop her, but she ran past him and opened the door of my compartment. Then the whistle (汽笛)   10  and the train  started.

   "I nearly missed it,  11  I?" the girl said. "How long  12  it take to  13  to London?"

   "It  14  the engine driver," I said. "Some days it is much slower than others, I will have to  15 , so as not to be late again tomorrow," she said. "It is my first day  16  with a new firm (公司) today and 17  told me that the man I am going to work for is very  18 . I  19 him yet, so I don't know  20  but he sounds a bit frightening. "

   She talked about her new job  21  the way to London and  22 , I realized that she was going to work for my firm. My  23  secretary had  just left so I must be her new boss. It was only  24  to tell her.   "Oh,dear," she said."  25  mistake! I wish I had known."
