Question

When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more ____ than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him so much in repairs that he decided that he had better ____ it.

He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly ____ to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so none of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was ____ when they met one evening, and said, “What's up, Dave?” Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may ____ more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's ____ was sensible(合理的), he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, uses very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no ____. But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry. A man rang up and said he would like to ____ him about the car. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be ____ or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll ____ my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to ____ it.”

The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, ____ to wait there for the people who had ____ his advertisement. Even Dave had to ____ that the car really looked like a wreck(殘骸). Then, soon after he had got the car as clean as 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 ____ to us yet, sir?”
