When Dave was eighteen,he bought a second-hand car for ￡200 so that he could travel to and from work more 　1　 than by bus.It worked quite well for a few years,but then it got so old,and it was costing him 　2　 much in repairs that he decided that he had better 　3　 it.

He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly 　4   to buy a cheap car,but they all knew that it was falling to pieces,so  5   of them had any desire to buy it.

Dave's friend Sam saw that he was  6   when they met one evening,and said,“What's  7  ,Dave?” Dave told him and Sam answered,“Well,what about advertising it in the paper? You may   8   more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's   9   was sensible,he put an advertisement in an evening paper,which read:“For sale:small car,  10   very little petrol,only two owners.Bargain at ￡50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared,there was no   11  .But then on Saturday evening a man rang up and said he would like to  12   him about the car.“All right,” Dave said,feeling happy.He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be   13   or not.“Fine,” the man said.“And I'll  14   my wife.We intend to go for a ride in it to   15   it.”

The next morning,at ten quarter,Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door,  16   to wait there for the person who had   17   his advertisement.Even Dave had to   18   that the car really looked like a wreck.Then soon after he had got the car as   19   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   20   to us yet,sir?”

I climbed the stairs slowly，carrying a big suitcase，my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor，I was　1　and at the same time feeling lonely. Worse still，Dad　2　a step and fell，sending my new suitcases 　3　down the stairs. “Damn!”he screamed，his face turning red. I knew trouble was ahead. Whenever Dad's face turns red，　4　！

How could I ever　5　him to finish unloading the car without screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls，girls I would have to spend the rest of the  6  with？Doors were opening and faces peering out(探出)，as Dad walked with difficulty close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n)　7　start.

“Enter the room quickly，”I thought. “Get him into a chair and calmed down.” But then again，would there be a chair in Room 316？Or would it be a(n)　8　room？

Finally I turned the key in the lock and   9   the door open，with Dad still   10    about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in，　11　the worst. But to my　12　，the room wasn't empty at all！It had furniture，curtains，a TV，and even paintings on the walls.

And there on a well­made bed sat Amy，my new roommate，dressed neatly. Greeting me with a nod，she said in a soft voice，“Hi，you must be Cori.” Then，she　13　the music and looked over at Dad. “And of course，you're Mr.Faber，”she said，　14　.“Would you like a glass of iced tea？”Dad's face turned 15　 less red before he could bring out a “yes.”

I knew then that Amy and I would be friends and my first year of college would be a success.

"I'm disappointed you ___40___ you have to lie to me, Jason." Dad looked at me again. "When you didn't ___41___, I called the garage to ask if there were any ___42___, and they told me you hadn't yet picked up the car." I felt ____43___ as I weakly told him the real reason. A___44___passed through Dad as he listened attentively." I'm angry with ___45___. I realize I've failed as a father.
