Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home from    39   , leave his taxi and go out for his    40    affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was    41   .

I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I    42    to be outside one evening two weeks    43   , when the garage door was    44    and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce (劳斯莱斯)!

And we    54  our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on    55    we are than what we do!
