The pilot said it would be 10 dollars a piece for a thirty-minute flight. “How about 10 dollars for both of  ?” the stingy(吝啬鬼) millionaire asked, “No way!” replied the pilot firmly. Schmidt pleaded(恳请) earnestly with the pilot for quite a while. Since it was a slow day and there were not many customers, the pilot finally agreed. “Ok, I will take you and your wife for ten dollars on one condition: while in the air, you cannot make any noise.    I hear a peep(动静) out of you, that will cost you 20 dollars,” Schmidt agreed reluctantly(不情愿地,勉强地).
The plane took    without a hitch. Purposely, the pilot made somersaults(筋斗) and all kinds of tricks, just to scare the guy,    the plane finally landed, the pilot asked credulously(轻信地): “I have got to hand it to you. I didn’t know how you managed to be so quiet.” “It wasn’t easy,” confessed(坦白,供认)  tightwad. “I almost hollered(叫喊,抱怨) when my wife fell out.”

On the other hand, you insist on eco-friendly, but I’m more attracted to user-friendly vehicles.
M: Why don’t you buy a car    (equip) with an advanced guidance system? The latest version is terrific. The system predicts traffic jams according to a record of busy travel dates. So it can tell you     you might run into traffic jams and suggest other ways.
W: Wow, the more I know about different cars, the harder it is   (decide) which one I should buy.
M: That’s it. But you must try    (get) more information. Anyway, it’s not easy to pick out a leaf among so many    (leaf).
