I didnt think there be any 32 in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning 33 the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly 34 . I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even 35 at my chair. The second shop, though 36 more polite, was just the 37 same, and the third and the fourth — so I decided that my 38 must be wrong. I enter the fifth shop with a(n) 39 in my mind. I pulled the chair on the floor and said to the 40 “Would you like to 41 a chair?” He look it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a 42 chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds.” I replied. “OK.” he said. “I will 43 you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said, “Yes, I saw that, Its nothing.” 44 was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “ 45 will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, It will be easy to sell 46 the repair is done.” “I will buy it.” I said.” “What do you mean? Youve just sold it to me.” he said. “Yes. I know, but Ive 47 my mind. I am sorry, I will give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be 48 ，” he said. Then suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You are right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said ‘Would you mend this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have 49 of doing it.” he said, “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I will mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very 50 man and was greatly amused by the whole thing. 31. A. artificial B. broken C. tough D. flexible 32.
