We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to  21  a car because we had sold the one we had in England before  22  home. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was  23 . I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet  24  driving in this city, my wife did not want me to collect it  25  so we went together to  26  it. We paid for the car and  27  the papers. They told us that there was  28  petrol（汽油）to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The  29  garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there  30 . But when I turned into main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing  31  me. I got out of  32  as fast as I could by backing into the garage  33  and the man behind  34  me.

“It’s such a problem to  35  to drive on the right side, isn’t it?” my wife said. “Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for  36 .” I replied. “You had better go  37  on the way home,” my wife said. “You’d be sorry if you had  38  on the first day, wouldn’t you?” While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English,” Would you mind telling me  39  you are thinking of leaving?  40  are you going to sit in your car all day?”
