We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of 1 inside. On the way home my wife saw a bookshelf outside a furniture (家具) shop. "Buy it," she said at once. "We'll 2 it home on the roof-rack (车顶架). I've always wanted one like that."
Ten minutes __3__ we were back with the bookshelf. 1 drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The 4 even stopped traffic to let us through.
After a rime my wife said, "There's a long line of cars 5 . Why don't they overtake (超车)?"
Just at that time a police car did overtake, and two officers inside asked us to 6 their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church（教堂）.
One of the officers came to me and said, "Do you need any more 7 now?" I didn't quite understand. So I said, "You've been very 8 . We live just down the road."
He was looking at our things, first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. "Well, well," he said and 9 , "It's a bookshelf you've got here! We thought it was— er, something else."
My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood 10 the police drove here.
