Mr Clarke works in a middle school. He likes reading and often 　36　 　some books from the library. He keeps 　37 　　to the radio in the morning and reading newspapers after supper. So he knows much and teaches well. His 　38 　like him very much. Mike, Mr Clarke’s little son, is only nine. He 　39 　　likes reading books. And he often asks his father some questions. Mr Clarke always thinks he’s too young to understand him and chooses 　40 　　ones to answer. Of course the boy is not pleased with it.

　　 One day Mike read 　41 　　about the electric lights and was 　42 　　it. When his father told him to do some homework, he went on thinking of it. He asked him 　43 　questions, and his father answered all. Then his father said happily, “Fathers always know 　44　 　than sons!”

　 The boy thought for a minute and said, “I don’t think so!”

　“Oh? Why?”

　Mike didn’t answer and asked, after a minute, he asked his father, “Who invented the electric lights?”

　　 “Thomas Edison.” answered Mr Clarke.

　　 “Why didn’t his father invent them, then?”

　　 Looking at his son, Mr Clarke didn’t know 　45 　to answer!
