【回答】

11．to enjoy　a way to do sth.“做某事的方法”。

12．disliked　根據上下文語境可知他做了許多工作，但都不喜歡(disliked)它們。

13．as　work as“作為……”。

14．his　他的顧客中至少有一半門鈴壞了。

15．realized　所給詞在句中作謂語且表過去發生的動作，故填動詞的一般過去時形式， realized。

16．a　make a comfortable living“過著舒適的生活”。

17．happier　根據提示詞than可知該空填形容詞的比較級，表示他比什麼時候都快樂。

18．because　because表“原因”，引導原因狀語從句。

19．creatively　所給詞在句中作狀語修飾動詞work，故填creative的副詞形式。creatively“創造*地”。

20．boring　所給詞在句中作定語修飾名詞work，指物，意為“令人厭倦的；枯燥的”，故填boring。
