📖 題組：
Jerry Stevens has been unhappy these months. He $\underline{34}$ a proud businessman of a successful shaved ice shop. His highest sales numbers were 1,899 plates a week; people called him “Ice King.” But all this changed when the cookie shop across the street started selling ice cream cookies. It took away half of his business. And $\underline{35}$ when Dan, his dead sister’s only son, came to work for him. Dan was a nice young man with a simple mind, too simple, maybe. He always let people try some shaved ice for free, but he never learned to see when “some” became “too much.” Many people came, but few bought. When the sales did not grow with the heat, Jerry started to worry. He wanted to send Dan home. But how could he? Dan had no family except him. Then, one day, $\underline{36}$. And it was from across the street. The cookie shop $\underline{37}$ a clerk. For Jerry, it was a great chance to get Dan out of his store without sending him home. After taking the shopkeeper to several nice dinners, Jerry got Dan the job. Now Jerry could finally try and save his store. And maybe Dan would help by sending him a few people who are thirsty from eating too many cookies.

思路引導 VIP
請你先觀察一下，這整段故事主要是用什麼時態（現在、過去還是未來）來敘述的呢？接著，看看空格前面提到『Then, one day...』（接著，有一天），你覺得在過去的那個特定日子裡，對面餅乾店尋找店員的這個動作，是『過去的習慣』、『已經結束了』，還是『當時正在進行中』呢？
