Question

Mr. Flower was well-known around for growing the best flowers of the year, and his four glass houses were taken good care of. These glass-houses were close to a public road, which was always used 　 36 children and young people walking to and from 　 37　 , boys about thirteen years of age, especially, were often tempted (嘗試) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flower’s 　 38　 , They managed to resist the temptation (抵制誘惑) when Mr. Flower was around, but the temptation often seemed to be too 　 39　 when Mr. Flower was 　 40　 to be seen. For this reason, Mr. Flower did his best to be 　 41　 at glass houses at the beginning and end of the school days.

　 However, it was not always possible for him to be on guard at these times. Mr. Flower had tried 　 42　 to prevent the damage to his glass, but nothing that he had done had been 　 43　 . He had been to the school to complain to the headmaster, but this had not done any 　 44 . He had hidden in the bushes and 　 45　 those boys that threw stones 　 46　 his garden, but the boys could run 　 47　 faster than he, and they even 　 48　 at him at a distance. He had even walked along the road and picked up all those 　 49　 that he could find so that the boys would have nothing to 　 50 , but they soon found others, or threw lumps (團(tuán)) of earth instead.

　 Then just he had given 　51 hopes of winning the battle, a truly wonderful 　 52　 came up to him. He set up a large note board (布告牌) made up good strong wood, some meters away from the glass houses 　 53　 it could be clearly seen from the road. On the board he painted the 　 54　 : DO NOT THROW AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flower had no 　 55　 . The boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice board than at the glass houses.
