Some people live in the world for body while others for dignity(尊严).
I once took a walk along the street 1 a Saturday dusk, with a Pepsi can in my hand.
An old woman in ragged clothes, 2 was living on collecting used cans, jars and tins, moved
slowly towards me, with a bag on the back! 3 (walk) nearer, she looked up at me and then
fixed her eyes on my can. At that time, I hadn"t finished my cola, so I gave 4 several coins
instead.
She stared at me for a few seconds 5 handed back the money. Quite confused, I asked:
"Why not? Isn"t that 6 you want?"
"I am not a beggar," she said 7 (serious), word by word.
Instantly, I felt so sorry. I had intended 8 (help) her, completely misunderstanding her.
Thus I hurt her. What I could do at that moment was only to drink up the cola and handed her
9 emptied can. This time, she gave me a smile with 10 (satisfy) and gratitude in her eyes.
The woman is poor in material life but is so respectable as a man. I am not only moved but also
have learned a good lesson.

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

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.
