A few days ago, I was having a meeting in
my company. After walking out, I 36 for my car keys in my
pocket, only to discover they were not there. 37 , I gave myself a
quick personal pat 38 my clothes, but they were not in 39
of my pockets. So, I went back to the meeting room and looked for
them in every place _ 40_I had been. Suddenly it occurred to me that I
must have left them in the car. Worried and frightened, I quickly 41 for
the parking lot.(停车场)
My wife, Diane, has 42 me
many times for leaving the keys in the ignition(点火处). My theory is the ignition is the 43 place
so that I won’t lose them. Her theory is that the car will be 44
. As I rushed out of my company, I came to a terrifying 45 .
Her theory was right. The parking lot was 46 .
Without hesitation, I called the 47
. I gave them my location(位置)and 48 that I had left my keys in the car, and
that it had been stolen. Then I made the most 49 call of all.
“Honey,” I said in a low voice. I always
call her “honey” in times like these. “I 50 my keys in the
car, and it has been stolen.”
There was a period of 51 . I
thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard Diane’s 52 .
“Ken,” she shouted, “I dropped you off!”
Now it was my time to be silent. 53
, I said, “In that case, would you please come and 54
your dear husband?”
Diane answered, “I will... just as soon as
I can have this policeman 55 I didn’t steal your car.”
