When Dave was eighteen,he bought a second-hand car for ￡200 so that he could travel to and from work more 1 than by bus.It worked quite well for a few years,but then it got so old,and it was costing him 2 much in repairs that he decided that he had better 3 it.
He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly 4 to buy a cheap car,but they all knew that it was falling to pieces,so 5 of them had any desire to buy it.
Dave's friend Sam saw that he was 6 when they met one evening,and said,“What's 7 ,Dave?” Dave told him and Sam answered,“Well,what about advertising it in the paper? You may 8 more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's 9 was sensible,he put an advertisement in an evening paper,which read:“For sale:small car, 10 very little petrol,only two owners.Bargain at ￡50.”
For two days after the advertisement first appeared,there was no 11 .But then on Saturday evening a man rang up and said he would like to 12 him about the car.“All right,” Dave said,feeling happy.He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be 13 or not.“Fine,” the man said.“And I'll 14 my wife.We intend to go for a ride in it to 15 it.”
The next morning,at ten quarter,Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, 16 to wait there for the person who had 17 his advertisement.Even Dave had to 18 that the car really looked like a wreck.Then soon after he had got the car as 19 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 20 to us yet,sir?”

A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.
The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.
He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.
The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.
“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas.” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news.
Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.
“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.
Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的) state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”
“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.

The holiday shopping season is once again upon us.The super malls and smaller shopping centers will all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift.The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent shoppers are well aware of this fact.
Even if you don’t involve yourself with holiday gift buying，you could end up a victim of theft.Thieves do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper.Thieves only know that there are more potential targets of opportunity at this time of year.
They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round.They’ll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store to store with so much to do and so little time to do it.Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December.College students are not an exception to the rule!
As a member of our university community，you’re also easily influenced by the dangers of mall shopping this time of year.Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls.Close your eyes and think about the overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around.The sights，sounds and distractions all can lull you into a state of personal safety complacency.
Aside from the shoplifters who steal merchandise from store shelves are the thieves who perpetrate (犯) snatch and grab crimes.And this is the sort of crime that you’re most vulnerable to，especially when you find yourself carrying a large number of shopping bags and packages.However，as is the case with most other types of criminal behavior，there are a number of crime prevention measures you can take to lessen or stop your chances of becoming a victim.So take the time to read and then put into practice the following holiday shopping tips.
