When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for ＄200 so that he could travel to and from work more__36__ than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him _37_much in repairs that he decided that he had better _38_it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly_ 39_ to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so_40_ of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was _41_ when they met one evening, and said, “What's _42_, Dave?”
Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may 43_more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's 44_was sensible(合理的),he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, _45_ very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no _46_.But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry(询问).A man rang up and said he would like to see him about the 47. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be_48_or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll _49_my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to _50_ it.”
The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave 51 the car in the square outside his front door, _52_ to wait there for the people who had answered his advertisement. Even Dave had to _53_that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸).Then, soon after he had got the car as clean_54_ 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 _55_ to us yet, sir?”?

When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was    36    to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary.    37    it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one.    38    , to be honest, I found it extremely    39    to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and    40    

not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the    41   bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are    42    both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt    43    to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I    44    that monolingual dictionaries are    45    in learning a foreign language.

As I found out, there is,    46   , often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two    47   in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to    48   that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the    49    meaning of a word in English!    50  , she insisted that I read the definition(定义)of a word in a monolingual dictionary    51    I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning.    52   , I have come to see what she meant.

Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses only a(n)   53    number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am    54    exposed to(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.    55    this, I can express myself more easily in English.
