IF and WHEN often had lunch together. Their conversation always 36 on the things they hoped to achieve and they loved to talk about them. ]
This particular Saturday when they met for lunch, WHEN 37 IF wasn’t in a great mood（心情）. After they sat at the usual table 38 for them, WHEN asked IF, “You don’t seem your usual 39 self(样子)?” IF replied,“Yesterday I saw a course I wanted to take. If only I 40 the time.”
WHEN knew exactly how IF felt and said, “I too saw a 41 and I’ m going to register when I get 42 money.” WHEN then questioned IF, “What about the new job you were going to apply for?” IF answered, “I would have applied, but my 43 broke down. I couldn’t type my resume(简历).”
“Don’t worry. I’ve been thinking about looking for another job also, 44 I’ll wait and when the weather gets 45 I will look then. I hate this awful weather.”
The man sitting nearby heard them talking about when this and if that. When he couldn’t 46 it anymore, he went to them and said, “I think I know 47 you could solve your problems.”
IF smiled and thought that even if he knew the 48 they faced, there was no way he could help! 49 , IF asked the man for advice. The man said, “Your conversation reminds me of an old 50 : IF and WHEN were planted, and nothing 51 .”
IF and WHEN both looked surprised and began to feel 52 of living their life for the “ifs” and “whens”. Finally they came to a(n) 53 : next time they met, there would be no “ifs” or “whens”; they would 54 talk about what they had 55 !

It was the old lady’s eightieth birthday. She was sure Myra wouldn’t forget her mother’s birthday, even if she was busy. After all, eighty was a special birthday. Perhaps Myra might come. Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited like a child.
Mrs. Morrison had brought a card and a bunch of flowers when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant downstairs had made a cake. Johnnie, the little boy next door, was now up with her with a packe t of sweets.
“I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents, ” he said. “I did last week when I was six.”
What would she like? A pair of slippers, perhaps. A blue new cardigan(羊毛衫). Or a table lamp. Or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely things.
She stood by the window, watching. The postman turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen him too and ran to the gate.
“Granny, granny, ” Johnnie returned. “I’ve got your post!”
He gave her four envelopes. Three were from old friends. The fourth was in Myra’s writing.
“No parcel(包裹), Johnnie?”
“No, granny.”
Almost reluctantly, she tore the fourth envelope open. Folded in the card was a check. Written on the card was a message: Happy Birthday—Buy yourself something nice with the check, Myra and Harold.

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door, was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.
