In the summer vacation of 1997 , I was fixed with a job . I worked as a(n)     36   at Mr. Breen’s fruit shop .The fruit shop did    37    business . Most of the trade came from the housewives who lived in the neighbourhood,     38    he also had regular customers who arrived outside the shop in cars . Mr Breen    39    them all by name and they sometimes even had their order already made up , always     40   me to carry it out to their car . They were clearly long-standing customers , and I    41    they must have stayed faithful to him   42     he had promised to sell good quality     43   . He had a way with them —I had to   44     that . He called every woman “madam” for a start ,    45    those who clearly were not, but when he     46   it , it did not sound like flattery (奉承). It just sounded     47   in an old-fashioned way . He was a great chatter     48   . If he did not know them , he would greet them with a few    49    about the weather ,     50   he did , he would ask about their families or make    51    , always cutting his cloth    52    his customers . Whatever their bills came to , be     53   gave them back the few odd pence (零钱), and I am sure they thought he was very generous (慷慨). But I thought he was the opposite . He never    54    anything away . He was always looking for     55   for nothing .
