In the summer vacation of 1997 , I was fixed with a job . I worked as a(n) 　　1　 　at Mr. Breen’s fruit shop .The fruit shop did　 　　2　　 　business . Most of the trade came from the housewives who lived in the neighborhood , 　　3　　 　he also had regular customers who arrived outside the shop in cars . Mr Breen　 　　4　　 　them all by name and they sometimes even had their order already made up , always　 　　5　 　me to carry it out to their car . They were clearly long-standing customers , and I　 　　6　　 　they must have stayed faithful to him　 　7　　 　he had promised to sell good quality　 　　8　 　. He had a way with them -I had to　 　9　　 　that . He called every woman “madam” for a start , 　　10　 　those who clearly were not, but when he　 　　11　 　it , it did not sound like flattery (奉承). It just sounded　 　　12　 　in an old-fashioned way . He was a great chatter　 　　13　 　. If he did not know them , he would greet them with a few　 　　14　　 　about the weather , 　　15　 　he did , he would ask about their families or make　 　　16　　 　, always cutting his cloth　 　　17　　 　his customers . Whatever their bills came to , be　 　　18　 　gave them back the few odd pence (零钱), and I am sure they thought he was very generous (慷慨). But I thought he was the opposite . He never　 　　19　　 　anything away . He was always looking for　 　　20　 　for nothing .
