Lesson1: …The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three     1    .

…Many of the cars broke     2     on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached     3     speed of forty miles an hour—    4     faster than any of its rivals.

Lesson2: ...Though she     5     for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. The assistant     6     served her did not like the way she was dressed. Glancing at her scornfully, he told her that the dress     7    . The woman walked out of the shop angrily and decided to punish the assistant next day. She returned the shop the following morning     8     in a fur coat, with a handbag in one hand and a long umbrella in the other.

...Not realizing who she was, the assistant was     9     to serve her this time.     10     great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it.

I am going to tell you an unbelievable thing     1    happened in my restaurant today.

This afternoon a poorly－dressed gentleman came into my restaurant. Nobody knew     2    he was. We wondered     3    he was so hungry. We were surprised     4    he finished two orders of food in a very limited time.We doubted     5    the man was able to pay the bill. The gentleman asked     6    we would mind waiting for just a few minutes. Then we were shocked to see    7    he took out of an envelope—a million pound bank note.

I asked Mr. Clements    8    it was genuine. Mr.Clements said it was true because two of this amount had been issued by the Bank of England this year. He thought     9    the gentleman showed them couldn’t be a fake.

    10    a gentleman with a million pound note was in rags and ate in our small restaurant was a big puzzle to all the people there. I really couldn’t describe how excited I was.
