Miss Brown would never forget the night when she met a robber(搶劫者) many years ago.

That evening, she went to a birthday party which   1  until two o’clock in the morning. Miss Brown walked in the  2  street alone. Suddenly from the back of the dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her. “Good morning，lady.” the man said in a low voice, “I don’t think you wish to  3 here!” “What do you want?” “Your earrings. Take them  4 !”

Miss Brown suddenly had a   5 idea. She tried to cover her necklace with the collar(衣領)of her overcoat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings and then quickly   6 them on the ground.

“Take them and let me go,” she said. The robber thought that the girl didn’t like the earrings at all, only trying to   7 the necklace. The earrings would cost   8 , so he said, “Give me your necklace.”

“Oh, sir. It doesn’t cost much. Please let me wear it.”

“I am not that   9 . Quick!”

With shaking   10  , Miss Brown took off her necklace. As soon as the robber left, she picket up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends.

The earrings cost 2000 pounds and the necklace which the robber had taken away cost only six pounds.

One day a poor boy, who was selling newspapers in a town, found that he had only ten pennies（便士）left, and he was hungry. He decided to ask for a   46   at the next house. However, he had another idea when a young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. But as he looked   47  , she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it, and then asked, “How much do I own（欠）you?”

“My mother teaches me that I should   48   get money for any kindness,” she replied. “So you don’t owe me   49  .”

Many years later, the woman became seriously ill. Then she was sent to a famous hospital in London. Dr Kelly was called in to study her illness.

Dr. Kelly asked for her final bill before she left hospital. He    52   it, then wrote something on it   53   it was sent to her. She was afraid to open it, for she believed it would cost the rest of her life to   54   for it all. But   55   she opened it, and read these words on it: Paid in full with one glass of milk.

　 Mike Hayes proved he was smart in his first year at college．In 2007， 51 he

Was a student at the University of Illinois．he came up

with an idea to 52　 his tuition fee(學費)and college

costs problem．Hayes thought everyone could afford to

give him a penny．

He wrote to Chicago Tribune writer Bob Greene．

Hayes wanted each of the newspaper’s　 53　 to

send him a penny．Greene thought the idea sounded

54 and agreed to do it．

　 “Just one penny．”Hayes said．“A penny doesn’t

55 anything to anyone．If everyone who is reading

your paper looks around the room right now，there will be a 56 under a seat，or on

the comer of the desk，or on the floor．That’s all I’m 　 57 ．A Denny from each of

your readers．”

　 In less than a month，the Many Pennies for Mike Fund(基金)had around 2．3 million

pennies．Not everyone sent 58 a penny，many even sent dollars．Money was

received from every state in the United States．So，Hayes reached his$28，000 target(目

標)and 59　 to get money for his degree in food science from the University of Illinois．

　 Perhaps the last word is best left to his father．Bill Hayes：“When Mike first told

me about his　 60　　 ，I just laughed and said that I thought it was foolish--Which shows

you that he’s smarter tIlan I am．”
