And now thousands of people 6 him gifts and letters.” “I thought him quite good,” I said, “but not 　　7 thousands of letters. As a matter of 　　8 ,”one of his songs gave me a shock. It was too noisy. “What was that?” my friend asked me, “ 9 it to me.” I began to sing. “Do be quiet. You will give everybody a shock and 　　10 them up for miles 11 . Besides, there will be a policeman 　　12 us. ”My friend gave me an astonished look.

“Never mind. I don’t care. What is the matter?” I said and went on singing 　　13 the top of my voice.
