I am going to tell you an unbelievable story. This afternoon a __41___(poor)  dressed gentleman came into my restaurant. Nobody knew who he was and __42___he came from. After __43___(sit) down, he ordered a lot of food. He stared at it and then _44___ (eat) it up very quickly.
To be_45___, we doubted whether the man was able to pay for the food. When he was asked to pay the bill, the gentleman asked if we would mind__46__ (wait) just a few minutes. Then we were _47___ (shock) to see that he took a million pound bank note. __48__(fortunate), we could not change the bank note as it was too large. So I gave this strange but very rich man a _49__ dinner, in the hope__50__he might come to our restaurant again.

I have never been able to make sense of my idea    31  money. I can walk into a store and spend $ 700 on suit,   32  go home and squeeze(擠)three cups of tea out of a single teabag. Am I a spendthrift or a miser or both?
A spendthrift is a person   33   likes to spend money. He always buys things 34    regard to cost. All of his spending gives him   35   (please), so he enjoys 36.    with shopping spending. He is both warmhearted and free - handed. He has a lot of friends    37   he often treats everybody to drinks and meals. He would even give or lend money to his   38 (bad)  enemy! Some people can accept a spendthrift's habits very easily. They consider such a person inexperienced,  39they enjoy being with him.
Are you a little like the person just  40    (write) about? If you are one of the big spenders of the world, you will always have debts, but you may have a lot of fun, too.

Almost everyone likes to eat apples. Apples grow in nearly every part of the world. The United States produces more apples than any other country except France. The states of Washington and New York grow the most apples.   71  New York is on the east coast and Washington is on the west near Canada.
Apples are red, yellow or green. They are very popular in the United States.   72  Most American people are often too busy or too tired to cook dinner, so they often have their dinners very simply. Apple juice is also a popular drink and apple pie is the favorite sweet dish for many Americans.
  73  The trees there produce nearly five billion apples every year—one apple for every man, woman and child in the whole world.
  74  For example, “You are the apple of my eye.” means “You are actually the one I love best and care most.” In China, it is a custom in some places for the marrying couple to hold an apple in each one’s hand, promising that their marriage will be “safe” without anything bad and that their marriage will never be broken. “To apple polish” often refers to a man who fawns (奉承) on somebody for the purpose of getting some benefits. So you can easily get “apple polisher”. However, “in apple-pie order” usually has the same meaning as “in good order”.   75  In fact, it’s another saying about “compare two things that can’t be compared”.
A. The state of Washington is proud of its apples.
B. Apples play an important part in people’s health.
  There are many stories and sayings about apples.
D. Perhaps this is why “New York” is often called “Big Apple” by some people.
E. The apples in France are better than those in America.
F. Many people like to carry apples to work or to school to eat with their lunches.
G. It is likely that you hear about “compare apples and oranges”

Dear Brown,
Last summer I take a part-time job in the International Camp for children. I have told one more worker will be needed in this year and I think you are fit for it. How about join us? The camp is at the foot of a small hill closed to a river. It is such beautiful a place! We can hear birds singing happy all around. Everybody sleeps in tents, that is very exciting. We usually work only five hours a day, so we will have plenty of spare time visit the area and have fun. I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience. If you have interests in it, reply to me soon.
Yours,
Mary

Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time. That was a generation when girl’s education was always placed second to boys’. Was she so much clever than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day’s work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
