Kate and Dick were classmates. They {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(相处) well with each other and later fell in love. After getting m{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, they found it difficult to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (谋生).

    Finally, they decided {#blank#}4{#/blank#} run a small restaurant near the railway station. The restaurant often stayed o{#blank#}5{#/blank#} until after midnight, because people came to drink there while they were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (等待) trains.

At two o'clock one morning, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} man was still sitting at a table in the restaurant. He was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} [ə'sli:p]. Kate wanted to go to bed. She looked at the table several times, and each time the man was still there. Then, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (最终) she went to her h{#blank#}10{#/blank#} and said to him, "You've talked to that man three times, and he isn't drinking any more. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} haven't you sent him away? After {#blank#}12{#/blank#} , it's so late."

    "Oh, no, I don't want to send him away," a{#blank#}13{#/blank#} Dick with a smile. "You see, whenever I {#blank#}14{#/blank#} (叫醒) the man, he asks for the bill, and when I bring it to him, he p{#blank#}15{#/blank#} it. Then he goes back to sleep again."
