Bruce shook his money box again.

Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52. The   31   which he wanted was at least $90. How on earth(究竟) was he going to get the rest of the   32   ?

He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out(闲逛) with people when you were the only one   33   a bicycle. He thought about   34    he could do. He couldn’t get money from his parents, because he knew they had no extra(额外的) money.

There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn(挣钱) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for   35   .

“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing”.

That was the beginning of Bruce’s part-time(兼职) job. For the next three   36   he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks and cleaned rooms.

The day finally came when Bruce   37   his money and found $94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to   38   the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to   39   his new bicycle to his friends. Bruce liked his bicycle very much because he had bought it with his own money. At last, his dream came true, and his parents were   40   of him.
