Just after finishing his work, Mr. Philips was going to the grocery shop to buy some bananas, but he saw a poor old lady 【小题1】 (sell)fresh bananas on the street, so it seemed 【小题2】 (convenient)to buy some from her.

The old lady charged $7 【小题3】 one kilo of bananas. “But the shop 【小题4】 I usually buy from gives them for $5 per kilo!”, Mr. Philips said. “I’m sorry sir, I cannot afford to match that price”, the old lady responded. Mr. Philips said nothing and went to the grocery shop.

【小题5】 , when he wanted to pay for bananas he picked, the cashier told him that the price per kilo was $10. He tried to bargain again, but the manager said coldly, “We do not bargain.” Mr. Philips felt very 【小题6】 (annoy)with his attitude, and decided to put the bananas back and go back to the old lady.

She recognized him 【小题7】 (instant)and told him, “Sir, I can’t match that price.” “Don’t worry, I will pay you $10 per kilo!” said Mr. Philips. “Now, give me two 【小题8】 (kilo)please!” The old lady happily packed the bananas and said, “I can’t accept $10 per kilo but I will accept $7 per kilo. I appreciate your 【小题9】 (kind).”

Mr. Philips left the old lady speechless with gratitude, and also recommended many friends to buy bananas from the old lady, which they did. From that day on, she made 【小题10】 much better living than ever before.

Then, with the officer 【小题3】 (struggle) to control the man’s upper body, Mark put his weight on the man’s legs. But the suspect managed to roll to his right, onto his stomach. Mark immediately 【小题4】 (apply) a martial move to control his shoulder and upper body. A few seconds later, the suspect gave out. The officer secured a handcuff and the threat was over.
