On my next day ____, I would like to go ___a drive.

I went over and patted (拍) him  31  the shoulder, which surprised him very much. In no time he began to   32   at me, so I was sure he  33  some money. From the shoes he was wearing I could hardly imagine how poor he was. So I offered him a $100 bill. To my great surprise, he  34   to take it.
