When Dave was eighteen, he bought a second-hand car for ￡200 so that he could travel to and from work more 26 than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but it got so old, and it was costing him 27 much in repairs, that he decided that he had better 28 it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was 29 to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so 30 of them had any desire to buy it.

Bargain at ￡50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no 36_. but then on the Saturday evening he had an enquiry (咨询). A man rang up and said he would like to 37 him about the car. “All right.” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o’clock the next morning would be 38_ or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I’ll 39 my wife. We want to go for a ride in it to 40 it.”
The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, 41 to wait there for the people who had 42 his advertisement. Even Dave had to 43 that the car really looked like a wreck (残破的车). Then, soon after he had got the car as 44 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 45 to us yet, sir?”

I was so 39 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 40 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 41 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 42 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier (收银员). I had just 43 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed(吞噬) me in one big bite. I couldn't 44 over it. I just couldn't go back to the cashier and 45 for my stolen pizza.

This reflects the saying “A coward (儒夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “55” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
