As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to 36  a little pocket money. One day I 37 on the door of an elderly woman and asked 38 she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in 39 and I showed her my worn 40 , which no longer kept me warm. She 41 me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be 42 now.” She then 43  a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a  44 job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to 45 new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to 46 me with your report card and I will 47 you when I see you have worked hard and have some good 48 . Now reach out your little hands and take out as much 49 as you can.” I put my hands in the jar and 50 so much money that it was 51 for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she 52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I 53 her that I had an “A”. I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the huge 54 this wonderful lady made over my life with her 55 . This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again. 小题1: A．save B．give C．earn D．change 小题2: A．turned B．knocked C．worked D．looked 小题3: A．how B．when C．why D．if 小题4: A．school B．time C．trouble D．bed 小题5: A．bag B．carpet C．coat D．sofa 小题6: A．allowed B．forced C．helped D．stopped 小题7: A．punished B．tested C．praised D．paid 小题8: A．set up B．took out C．talked about D．put away 小题9: A．boring B．new C．fine D．terrible 小题10: A．keep B．buy C．remove D．make 小题11: A．visit B．forgive C．welcome D．serve 小题12: A．recognize B．reward C．understand D．protect 小题13: A．goals B．stories C．marks D．ideas 小题14: A．room B．money C．food D．time 小题15: A．grabbed B．lost C．borrowed D．charged 小题16: A．rare B．enough C．simple D．special 小题17: A．promised B．discovered C．knew D．admitted 小题18: A．asked B．required C．showed D．wrote 小题19: A．decision B．progress C．mistake D．difference 小题20: A．courage B．kindness C．honesty D．happiness
