完形填空

Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to buy anything．I had no sooner got off the 1 than I was stopped by a man who wanted to 2 me a diamond ring．I had no 3　of buying one, but I could not deny the fact that I was 4 by the size of the diamonds．Some of them were as 5 as marbles(玻璃球)．The man went to great lengths to 6 that the diamonds were real．As 7 walked past a shop, he held a diamond 8 against the window and made a deep impression in the 9．It took me over half an hour to get rid of him．

The next man to 10 me was selling expensive pens and watches．I 11 one of the pens closely．It certainly looked 12．At the base of the gold cap, the words “made in the USA” had been clearly 13．The man said that the pen was worth ￡50, but as a special 14, he would let me have it for ￡30．I 15 my head and held up five fingers indicating that I was willing to pay ￡5．Gesturing wildly, the man acted as if he found my 16 shocking, but he eventually 17 the price to ￡10．Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away．A moment later, he ran after me and 18 the pen into my hands．Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he 19 accepted the ￡5 I gave him．I felt especially pleased with my wonderful 20－until I got back to the ship．No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink!
