Bill, a thirteen-year-old boy, thought he had grown up to be a man. But his parents told him, “You won’t be a real man until you begin to  36   helping others.”

    One morning, his parents gave him some money to  37   some milk for them. Outside a shop he saw a homeless old man who looked very sick. Bill went to him and asked, “ What’s wrong with you?”

    The old man answered, “I’m   38  . I haven’t had any food for two days.”

    At the thought of his parents’ words, Bill said to the old man, “Let’s go to the  39  .”

    When they got there, Bill asked the   40  to bring out bread and coffee to the old man. The old man finished the meal quickly. After the waiter   41  the plate and the cup, the old man said, “Sorry for giving you too much  42  . I’m fine now. I’ll   43  forget your kindness! You are a very good young man”

    Bill was  44  when he heard this. Just when he wanted to pay for the meal, the waiter came. Bill and the old man learned    45   that he food was free because it was the birthday of the boss, and they were the first customer that day.

Ａs she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas   41   for her father.

She wished that he were as easy to please as her mother, who was   42   satisfied with perfume(香水). Besides shopping at this time of the year was a most unhappy job. People   43 

on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost   44   you over in their hurry in order to   45   something cheap ahead of you.

Party to have a rest, Edith stopped in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on   46  . “They are real silk,” the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to persuade(說(shuō)服) her to buy   47  . But Edith knew from past   48   that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance,   49   where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter, She found some fine pipes(煙斗) on sale and the   50   were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father only smoked a pipe once a while, she believed this was   51   to please him.

When she got home, with her small but   52   present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already   53   table. Her mother was in great   54  . “Smoking is bad for your health, my dear. You father has at last   55   to stop smoking.” She told her daughter happily. Edith was so surprised that she could not say a single word.
