I had tried out a model like it before， but as I was not yet 24 driving in this city， my wife did not want me to collect it 25 so we went together to 26 it. We paid for the car and 27 the papers. They told us that there was 28 petrol（汽油）to take us to a garage， where we could fill up. The 29 garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there 30 . But when I turned into main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing 31 me. I got out of 32 as fast as I could by backing into the garage 33 and the man behind 34 me.
“It’s such a problem to 35 to drive on the right side， isn’t it?” my wife said. “Yes， if only I had had a few lessons for 36 .” I replied. “You had better go 37 on the way home，” my wife said. “You’d be sorry if you had 38 on the first day， wouldn’t you?” While we were talking， the man behind got out of his car and said in good English，” Would you mind telling me 39 you are thinking of leaving? 40 are you going to sit in your car all day?”
