C

   A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, and remained regaling his nose with the smell of the victuals．The master of the shop told him several times to go away, but the sweeper could not leave savory smell, though unable to purchase the taste of the food．At last the cook came out of the shop, and taking hold of the sweeper, declared that, as he had been feeding upon the smell of his victuals (food and drink), he should not go away without paying half the price of a dinner．The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay, and that he would ask the first person who should pass, whether it was not an unreasonable and unjust demand．

    The case was referred to a policeman, who happened to pass at that moment．He said to the sweeper: “As you have been feasting one of your senses with the odor (smell) of this man’s meat, it is but just you should make him some recompense; therefore you shall, in your turn, regale (amuse) one of his senses, which seems to be more insatiable than your appetite．How much money have you?”

    “I have but two pence in all the world, sir, and I must buy me some bread．”

“Never mind,” answered the officer, “take your two pence between your hands; now rattle (cause to make a lot of quick little noises)them loudly．”

    The sweeper did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, “Now, sir, I think he has paid you: the smell of your victuals regaled his nostrils(openings at the end of the nose); the sound of his money has tickled your ears．”

This decision gave more satisfaction to the bystanders than to the cook, but it was the only payment he could obtain．

66．The sweeper stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, because _______ .

       A．he wanted to regale his nose with the smell of the victuals

       B．he was hungry and he wanted to have dinner

       C．he was hungry but he had no enough money to buy a meal

When Ben delivered milk to my home one morning before Christmas，he wasn’t his usual sunny self. He told me a customer had left without paying the bill，$79，nor leaving her new address. So it meant that he had to cover the loss.

 “She was a pretty woman，”he said， “with six children and another on the way. She was always saying. ‘I’m going to pay you soon when my husband gets a second job.’ I believed her，but she left. Isn’t it annoying?”

  “Give her the milk. Make it a Christmas present to the kids who need it.” I said.

  The holidays came and went. On a sunny January morning two weeks later，Ben was rushing to deliver milk when he saw a woman running down the street，waving money. He recognized her immediately--the woman who didn’t pay her bill.

   “I’m so sorry.” she said. “I really have been meaning to pay you.”

   “That' s all right,” Ben replied. “It's been paid.”

   “Paid!” she exclaimed (驚叫). “What do you mean? Who paid it?”

    “I did,” Ben said, “It went to the children as a Christmas present!”

A million tourists go to Barcelona every year. They went to see Antonio Gaudi’s church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gaudi was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at the same time. He often missed classes because he had to work, but one day he designed a very unusual show-case (陳列柜) for an exhibition in Paris. People began to give him work. He designed houses, offices and gardens. They were all very unusual. He was soon very rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said, “Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay. I will build schools and workshops, too. They will help the people.” “I will do it,” said Gaudi. He worked for forty years, but he could not finish the church. It was too big. He needed $10,000,000. He gave all his money to the church.
