“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Call…”
That advertisement in the newspaper made me remember my childhood. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we didn’t have the money. Even though times were 16 , I couldn’t wait any longer to ask. “Daddy, may I have a violin of 17 ?” Daddy’s face looked 18 . But a few weeks later, Daddy went home, with a case in his hand, 19 ,“Mary, I found this secondhand violin for seven dollars.”
The day when I carried my violin to school for my first lesson , no one could know how 20 I was. I practiced, joined the school orchestra(管弦乐队), gave performances……Several years seemed to run even quickly and I found myself in the first violin chair. More years 21 , and my violin made every move with me, until one day, I carefully 22 it away.
Now here 23 this want advertisement, I discovered the case deep in my closet（储藏室）. I put it on the table. Then I picked up the 24 , walked to the telephone and called by the 25 .
Later in the day, a man of about 30 knocked at the door. “I’ve been expecting someone would 26 my advertisement. My daughter wants a violin so 27 ,”he said, examining my violin. “How much are you asking?”
I said, “Seven dollars.” “Are you sure?” he asked, 28 he did not believe his ears. “Seven dollars.” I 29 and then added,” I hope your little girl will enjoy it 30 I did.”
I smiled, but I found my tears(眼泪) rolling down my face.

“Get up, get up, Jim. It’s time to get up!” mother said while she was 1 me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. “Oh, dear! It’s a quarter to eight already. I’ll be late for school again,” I thought. I 2 out of the bed, washed my face, and then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I 3 the bus, it started running. “I’m sure I can get to school in time,” I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There’s 4 wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one. ” “I couldn’t wait. The school is not 5 . I’d better run to school,” I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to school, it began to 6 heavily.
When I 7 the classroom, I was wet shivering (发抖) with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and—so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated (犹豫) for a moment, and then I opened the door. “I’m very sorry, Mr Smith. I'm late again,” I said with a red face.
“It’s you again, Jim,” Mr Smith said 8 , “I’ve told you not to be late, but you... ” He suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to 9 and said, “I’m very sorry, my boys and girls,” With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. “Now, take off your wet coat and put this one on, or you'll catch cold. ” he said kindly.
I went to my seat with Mr Smith’s jacket on. It was a bit larger for me but I felt very 10 in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!
