Peter's job was to examine cars when they crossed the frontier (边界) to make sure that they were not smuggling (走私) anything into the country. Every evening he would see a factory worker coming __36__ the hill towards the frontier, __37__ a bike with grass on it. When the bike __38__ the frontier, Peter would stop the man and __39__ him take the grass off. Then he would examine the straw very __40__ to see whether he could find anything, after which he would look in all the man's pockets __41__ he let him tie (捆绑) the grass again. The man would then put it on his bike and go off down the hill with it. Although Peter was always __42 __ to find gold or other valuable things hidden in the straw, he never found __43__. He was sure the man was smuggling something, but he was not __44__ to think out what it could be.
Then one evening, after he had looked __45__ the grass and emptied the worker's pockets __46__ usual, he __47__ to him, "Listen, I know you are smuggling things __48__ this frontier. Won't you tell me what it is? I'm an old man, and today's my last day on the job. Tomorrow I'm going to retire (退休). I promise I shall not tell __49__ if you tell me what you've been smuggling." The worker did not say anything for __50__. Then he smiled, turned to Peter and said quietly, "Bikes."

When I was 18 years old, one morning, my father told me to drive him into a town, about 40 miles away. I had just learned to 36 ，so I agreed with pleasure. When we came to the town, something was wrong with the car. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it  37 and promised to pick Dad up at 4 pm. Because I had a few hours to spend, I decided to go to the  38 .However I became   39 interested in the film that I forgot the time. When the last film finished, it was 6 o’clock.

I was afraid Dad would be  40 and never let me drive again, so I drove back quickly to meet Dad and made an excuse(借口) 41 my being late. I’ll never forget the cry he gave me: “I’m disappointed that I feel you have to tell a lie to me, Jack. I’m angry, not with  42 but with myself. I have failed  43 I’ve brought up a son who can not even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about  44 I have done wrong all these years.” 

Dad began  45 along the road. I begged(乞求)all the way, telling him how I drove behind him for 40 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most unforgettable lesson. I have never told a lie to him ever since.
