A very interesting thing happened to me last year．

One night, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend of mine and I went home happily through the quiet street．We had   1   to a musical show（音乐会）and were talking about the people we had seen and heard in it．

"The show made him   2   overnight（一夜之间）．"My friend said about one of them．" He was unknown before．And now thousands of people   3   him presents and letters．" "I     4   him quite good．" I said, "but not worth thousands of letters．In fact, one of his   5   gave me a shock（震惊）．It gave people too much   6  ．" "What was that?" my friend asked me,"  7  it to me．" I began to sing at the top of my voice．"Oh, no, you will give everybody a shock and   8   them up for kilometers round．Maybe there will be a policeman  9   us．" "Never mind．" I said and  10  singing．

Just at that time there came a policeman   11   in front of me with his note book open．

"  12  , sir," he said, "you have a very good voice, who taught you to sing? I'd very much 13   to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons, she likes it very much．Would you be  14   enough to tell me your name and  15  ? Then my wife and I will visit you and we can talk about it．"
