完形填空
I’ve been working for Mrs．E one day a week for several months and I notice that she has some peculiar(古怪的)ways．Well, there was only one thing that really 1 me and that was her pocketbook habit．Not those little books, I mean her purse－her 2 ．
She’s got a pocketbook with two long straps(皮带)on it and whenever I’d go there, she’d be propped up(坐直)in a chair with her handbag double wrapped 3 around her wrist, and from room to room she’d walk with that purse 4 ．This happens every time! And there’s nobody there 5 her and me．I can say 6 to her! It’s her purse, and she can hold onto it if she wants to!
I held my 7 for months, trying to 8 how I’d make my point．Well, bless Bess! Today is the day! I was 9 to go home when she stepped in the room 10 her bag as usual and said, “Mildred, will you ask the super(管理员)to 11 and fix the kitchen tap?” “Yes, Mrs．E…”I said, “as soon as I leave．”“Oh, no,” she says, “he may be gone 12 then．Please go now．”“All right,” I said, and 13 I went, still wearing ring my apron(围裙)．
I just went down the hall and 14 a few minutes, and then I rushed back to the door and knocked on it as 15 as I could．She flung open(猛开)the door saying, “What’s the matter? Did you see the super?” “No,” I said, gasping(喘气)hard for breath, “I was almost downstairs when I remembered…I 16 ．”
With that I dashed in, grabbed 17 and then went down to get the super! Later, when I was leaving, she said really 18 ,“Mildred, I hope that you don’t think I 19 you because…”“That’s all right, Mrs．E, I understand．Because if I paid anybody 20 you pay me, I’d hold my pocketbook too!”
