阅读下列材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
He's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes,
he told me, "I haven't time. Take them to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} other fellow on the main
street.
Just looking at his bench {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(load) with tools and pieces of leather, I
knew the craftsman (手艺人) was rather {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(skill). "No," I replied, "the other
fellow can't do it well."
"The fellow he mentioned" is one of those shopkeepers who fix
shoes and make keys without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys.
They work {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(careless), and when they have finished sewing back a sandal
strap (鞋带), you might as well
just throw away the pair. The reason {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I wanted to have my shoes repaired in
the shop is that the man works very carefully.
The man {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(have) me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk
and said, "Come back tomorrow."
I was about to leave {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he took a pair of soft leather {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(boot) off
a shelf.
"See what I can do?" he said with pride. "Only three {#blank#}9{#/blank#}
us in Paris can do this kind of work."
The cobbler was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman
with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty hat, his funny
accent and, above all, his pride in his craft.
In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his
greatest {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(satisfy) from pride in a job well done.
