Harry, who owned a boat, lived near the sea with his family. They made a living by 　　1　. One day, he asked a painter to paint his boat.
While the painter was painting, he found there was a hole at the bottom of the boat, and he decided to 　　2　 it. When he finished his work as Harry asked him, he got his money and left.
Several days later, Harry came to the painter and gave him some money which was much more than the payment for the painting. The painter didn’t know 　　3　 and said, “You’ve already paid me for painting the boat!”
“It is not for the painting, 　　4　 for having repaired the hole!” Harry said.
“It’s just a small service. Certainly, you 　　5　 pay me so much for something unimportant,” said the painter.
“My friend, you don’t understand what I mean. Let me tell you what happened. My 　　6　 took the boat and went on a fishing trip yesterday. When I noticed they had taken the boat, I was extremely(极其) 　　7　. I remembered the boat had a hole that hadn’t been repaired yet. I forgot to tell them about it. You can’t imagine how happy I was when I saw them walking 　　8　 the house safe and sound. Then I checked the boat and found you had repaired the hole. It was 　　9　 who saved my children’s lives!” Harry said with excitement.
