問題詳情:
Before I came to England, I 61 (read)about English customs. I knew that the money they used 62
(call) pounds and pence. It was quite a shock when I bought a newspaper at the airport, and the woman behind the counter said, “That’ll be 2 quid, love”. I made a quick calculation and decided 63 (hand )over two £1 coins. Imagine my 64 (relieve) when she said “Ta, love”. I didn’t know what that meant either, but at least she was smiling, so I must have got the money right.
I soon learned that a “quid” is a pound. There are several 65 (explain) for this, but the one I like 66 (well) is that “quid” comes from “Quidhamptom Mill”, 67 used to produce the special paper that pound notes were printed on.
Just when I thought I had got used 68 English money, I saw the following advertisement in a local newspaper : “Wanted: Sales Clerk, London Area, £25k”. I was totally 69 (confuse). I knew from my computer course that “k” meant “kilobyte”. A few days 70 a friend explained the mystery. The advertisement was not for a 25-kilobyte clerk, but for a clerk who would earn £25,000 a year.
