Two months ago, Kate finished middle school. She left her hometown and came to the city. Her aunt helped her find work in a factory. It was small and offered {#blank#}1{#/blank#} rooms to the workers. She wouldn't drop it {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it was difficult for her to find another job there. She had to find a room for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ( she). As she didn't have enough money, she had to rent one outside the city. It was about half an hour by bus. The farmer and his family lived on the first floor. They rented all the others on the second and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( three) floors to the workers. So they built an attic(阁楼) on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the building for the girl. It was low and small. She couldn't {#blank#}6{#/blank#}( easy) go to sleep in the hot night. She had to stay in it, hoping {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ( find) a better room one day.

A month later, Kate went to pay the farmer for the rent. She found hers was the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of all the boarders(房客). It made her feel strange and she asked," My room is the smallest and the lowest, you know. But why do I have to pay more rents than any other boarder, sir?"

At first the farmer didn't know {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to answer her. He thought and thought and at last he said," Nobody {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( use) all our steps except you."
