awoke, it _______ , so I watched the news on Channel 11.

can see it. Where is the Sunday newspaper TV guide? Here it is.
You _______ . That show will be on another educational channel
the day after tomorrow.
Carl: Good. Now me can both watch your show and enjoy it. By the
way, the late-night talk show tonight promises to be good. I read
in the previews section of this morning’s paper that some of our
favorite actors and actresses are going to be on at 11:30 with a
surprise host: I _______ it — if I can stay awake that long.
Penny: I’ll bet you can. You’re becoming such a television watcher that
I’m sure you can _______ until the late, late show.
Carl: You’re right. It’s getting so that I only know to go to bed when I
hear the national anthem.

Filling the Tank with Gas
Ms. Porter: _______ it ____, please.
Mr. Kobak: You’re at the self-service island, Ms. Porter. If you want me
to fi ll your tank, you’ll have to _______ to the lane marked
“full-service”.

But today I’m dressed for a job interview, and I don’t want to
take the chance of getting my clothes dirty. I’ll pull over to

need the higher octane, so it wouldn’t pay for you to get the
more expensive kind. Your car has been sluggish because it’s
been too long since you last tune-up. I remember when you
left it here to be worked on. That was months ago.

some servicing in a week or so. Would you check the oil,
please?
Mr. Kobak:
(The attendant checks the oil.) It’s just a little below the “full”
mark. It won’t take a whole quart. Perhaps you should let it
go until you come in next week. We’ll change your oil then
and fi ll it up.

checking the water in the radiator and in the battery? It’s been

Mr. Kobak: The radiator’s all right, but this battery needs some water. You
don’t want to let this level get too low. Some morning you’ll
_______ and the car won’t start. There. That should hold you
_______ . Uh-oh. I forgot to check the temperature level in
your radiator. I’d better do that now.
Ms. Porter: What do you mean “the temperature level”?
Mr. Kobak: Winter will be here in no time, so we have to be sure that your
radiator water can _______ the freez ing temperatures. This
gauge I’m _______ the water will tell us how low temperature
can go before your water turns to ice. It’s actually a measure
of the amount of antifreeze left in you tank from last winter.
It looks okay to me. It says that it would have to ________
fi fteen below before you had a problem. It never gets that cold
around here.
Ms. Porter: I hate to ask after all you’ve done, but do you think you could
check the tires too? The front ones need twenty-nine pounds
of pressure and the rear ones need thirty-two.
Mr. Kobak:
Ms. Porter: Do you know the best way for me to _______ the in terstate
