That night, the two of them 41 side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud 42 filled the room and made them feel very happy.The next morning, 43 , their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a 44 under their door during the night. One of their neighbor had written to plain(抱怨) about the sound of the piano. Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent(管理員) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all 45 people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that.

I hope you don’t think I disliked the playing.”Dario’s mother smiled at Mrs. Gilbert. “I think maybe we 55 you an apology.” she said. “I didn’t 56 how late it was when we were playing. Maybe we should play some quieter music at night.“You play, you play!” Mrs. Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such 57 music.”“These songs are beautiful music.” Dario’s mother said. “We will be 58 to play them in the evening.”“And we won’t play so loud or late!” Dario said.
