Mr and Mrs King have lived in our town for nearly twenty years. They have a book shop by the bus station. They’re polite to everyone and have a lot of friends. They often 41 the poor students and sell them some books cheaply. So there’re many young men in their shop. Of course people 42 them and their friends often visit them and 43 them. We can always hear their rooms are full of 44 and quarrel.

　　 It was a Friday evening. Mr and Mrs King were going to have a picnic on the island the next 45. It was a little far from our town. So they had to 46 earlier than usual to catch a six o’clock train. After 47 a few friends came to see them while they were cooking some food and drinks for the picnic. Mr King and his wife had to stop to receive them. They talked a lot and few of them looked at the 48 on the wall. It was late. Mr and Mrs King were anxious(焦急的)but they couldn’t tell the visitors about it. Mrs King thought for a few minutes and had an idea. She said to her husband, “Oh, it’s eleven o’ clock! You’d better stop talking ,dear! Our guests are anxious to 49!”

　　 Mr King heard this and stood up, then he said 50 to the visitors and they left soon.
