If you have a watch, don’t repair it! I know it __. Once I had a beautiful watch. And this watch __ perfect time. But one night it happened that I forgot to __ it up. The next morning I went to a watchmaker as I wanted my perfect watch to __  by the exact time. The watchmaker examined my watch and said: “The regulator(校准器) is to be pushed up __  your watch is four minutes __ .”
I tried to stop him, and tried to __  him understand that my watch kept perfect time, but he did not listen to me and pushed the regulator.
My beautiful watch began to gain time. It __ faster and faster day by day. By the end of the second month it __  all the clocks and watches of the town far behind.
What did I have to do?  To take it to another watchmaker to be regulated. I expected him to regulate the watch immediately __ he asked me to come in a week’s time. When at last I took my watch from him it began to __  down. And I began to be late for trains, business appointments and even missed my dinners.
Now I went to __ watchmaker. While I waited for him to repair my poor watch, he __ it to pieces and said that he could finish this work __  three or four days. I could do nothing but __ . That time my watch went for half a day and then stopped.
So I kept __  my watch from one watchmaker to another for a considerable period of time.
And as a result of it the cleverest main in the world could not __  the time by my watch. The thing was getting __  . My watch had __  two hundred dollars originally but I paid for repairs more than two hundred. At last I decided to buy _  watch, which I did.
