18、We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to  1  a car because we had sold the one we had in England before leaving home. Yesterday the sales office called us to say the car was ready （准备好）. I had experienced a model like it before, but as I was not yet  2  driving in this city, my wife did not want me to get it  3  so we went to fetch it together. After we paid for the car, they told us that there was  4  petrol （汽油） to take us to a garage, where we could fill up （加油）. The nearest garage to the office was about 1000 meters away and we got there  5 . But when I turned into the main road, I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing towards me. I got out of  6  as fast as I could by backing into （倒车） the garage once more and the man behind me  7  me.

   “It’s such a problem to remember to drive on the right side, isn’t it?” my wife said with a smile.
