   Mr. Smith was in trouble those days. He drove a car for Mr. Black, a rich Businessman. He worked hard and the shopkeeper liked him. But he couldn’t work when he drank too much. And once he almost fell into the river when he drove along the bridge. Mr. Black became angry and was going to send him away. He had a big family and was afraid of it and promised (答应) he would stop drinking at once. One Monday morning, Mr. Smith came into the office, with two badly burned (烧伤) ears. “What happened to your ears?” asked Mr. Black.
