题目内容：

Dad loved children. And he always wanted a __1__ family. Eventually, he got what he wanted with twelve children in the family. Without fail, he would show us off to visitors.

Once, Dad __2__ presented the first three children in the family, Ann, Mary and Ernestine, to some visitors. Then he picked up a fourth child, and said, "And this is our _3__ model, complete with all the improvements. And don’t think that this is all; we are _4__ the 1953 model some time next month."

But what he _5__ most was taking us out for a drive. On one occasion a man in a village we were passing through shouted _6_ that he had seen eleven people in our car, not __7_ Mum and Dad. _8__, Dad called out over his shoulder, "You 9__ the second baby up from the front here, Mister."

Another time, Dad told us this joke, though we were not sure then whether he was telling us the _10_. Mum, who was a psychologist (心理学家), once went to give a lecture and left Dad in charge of the _11_. When Mum returned, she asked him if everything had been OK. He said everything was fine _12__ one of the children had been taught a lesson because he had been _13_. When he pointed at the child that had been __14__, Mum looked at him calmly and said, "That’s not one of ours, dear. He _15_ next door."
