It said: “This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't     1      you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy. After dinner, our family would     2      on which kind of ice cream we should have and then I'll     3      them to get the ‘winner’. I have recently    4      a new Pontiac car and since then my return trips have become     5      .Every time I buy the vanilla(香草味的)ice cream, my car will     6     . However, if I get any other flavors. the car starts just fine.” The Pontiac president was     7      about the letter, but sent an engineer to    8      this thing anyway. One day, accompanied by the     9      , the customer drove to the store after dinnertime. It was the vanilla ice cream that night and     10      , after they came back, the car     11      to start. The engineer conducted the     12      for three more nights. On the first two nights, they got the chocolate flavor and the car started. The car didn't start after the customer ordered the vanilla flavor on the third night. The engineer, a     15      man, opposed that this man's car was     1 3     to the vanilla ice cream. So he     14      his visits. Eventually, his work     16      .In fact, different kinds of ice cream were     17      distributed(分布) in the store. The vanilla flavor was quite a     18      and was put in the front of the store. The     19      time taken to get other flavors in the back allowed the engine to cool down. When the man got the vanilla ice cream, the engine was still too hot to start. Even     20      problems are sometimes real.
