问题     In this small town there was not a single man of importance who would dare to have a house keeper younger than sixty, for fear of what people might say 【B1】 . However, when I needed a housekeeper I chose a girl called Cathey, a lovely little girl of seventeen from a village 【B2】 the coast. But I made my choice 【B3】 After a few days’ consideration over the matter and an early telephone call to her, I 【B4】 out there one day in my Fiat when she was at home, and I had a look at the cottage and a talk with her mother over a 【B5】 of teas, and after that I did not need anyone to say that she was 【B6】 . I knew if there was anything Cathey did not do 【B7】 , her mother would not 【B8】 long to correct her. After that there was only one question to raise.
    "Have you a 【B9】 , Cathey?" said I.
    "No, doctor, I have not," said she with a simple expression that did not 【B10】 me a bit. As a doctor, you soon 【B11】 innocent(无邪的)looks.
    "Well, you’d better 【B12】 and get one." I said," 【B13】 I’m not going to take you." At this she laughed. After what seemed only a short time, she came and started working at my house. And you guess. 【B14】 ? She proved to be very 【B15】 and efficient(高效率的). Of course she was so 【B16】 that people who came to my house used to 【B17】 a remark about us. But that didn’t hurt me at all. They did not dare to 【B18】 a pretty girl themselves in case that other people would say something, But I knew as long as a girl had a man of 【B19】 to look after she would give me 【B20】 And, of course, I would be happy and at ease.
