Question

As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas1 for her father.
She2 that he were as easy to please as her mother, who was3 satisfied with perfume(香水).4, shopping at this time of the year was not a most5 job. People6 on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost7 you over in their hurry in order to8 something cheap ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on9. "They are10 silk," the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to11 her to buy one. But Edith knew from past12 that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance,13 where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the14 were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father15 smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was16 to please him.
When she got home, with her small but17 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already18 table. Her mother was in great19. "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so20 that she could not say a single word.
