One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found
that he only had one dime (一角银币) left. He was hungry so he decided to 1 for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. 2 a meal he asked for a drink
of water. She thought he looked 3 so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then
asked, "How much do I 4 you?" "You don"t owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught me never
to accept 5 for a kindness." He said, "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart." As Howard Kelly
left that house, he not only felt stronger 6 , but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He
was about to give up and 7 before this point. Years later the young woman became critically ill. The 8
doctors were baffled (阻挡). They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists could be called in to study
her 9 disease. Dr Howard Kelly, now 10 was called in for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the
name of the town she came from, a(n) 11 light filled his eyes. 12 , he rose and went down through the
hospital hall into her room. Dressed in his doctor"s gown he went in to see her. He 13 her at once. He went
back to the 14 room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special 15
to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was 16 . Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to
him for approval. He looked at it and then 17 something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She
was 18 to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked,
and the note on the side of the bill 19 her attention. She read these words:
"Paid in full with a glass of 20 ."
(Signed) Dr Howard Kelly
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently:"Thank you, God. Your love has spread through
human hearts and hands." |

railway owes me￡12," she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket
for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It
cost me 12."
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam," he
said politely. "I"ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd."
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There
was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He couldn"t have sold her a
ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt," he said to her. "Did
you have a nice holiday in Jersey?"
"Yes," she answered, shyly. "The beach was lovely. And I can swim too."
"That"s fine," said Harry. "My little girl can"t swim a bit yet. Of course, she"s only three..."
"I"m four," the child said proudly. "I"ll be four and a half."
Harry turned to the mother. "I remember your ticket, Madam," he said. "But you didn"t get one for your
daughter, did you?"
"Er, well..." the woman looked at the child. "I mean...she hasn"t started school yet. She"s only four."
"A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child"s return ticket to Jersey costs...let me see...
￡13. 50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe the railway 1.50. The law is the law, but since the
fault was mine..."

James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 1 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all
that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 2 on earth was he going to get the 3 of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 4 to hang around with people when you were the only
one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 5 asking his parents, for he knew
they had no money to 6 .
There was only one way to get money, and that was to 7 it. He would have to find a job. 8 who would
hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 9 on most things.
"Well, you can start right here," said Mr. Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing."
That was the 10 of James"s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing
his homework. He was amazed by the 11 of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for
walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the 12 of cars he washed and windows he
cleaned, but the 13 increased and he knew that he would soon have 14 for the bicycle he longed for.
The day 15 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 16 no time and went down to the
shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 17 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his
friends. It had been hard 18 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 19 he had
bought it with his own money. He had 20 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than
the bicycle. | ( )1. A. cleaned
