An old engineer went suddenly blind. She promised a doctor a lot of money if he could make her see again. “If you fail,” she said, “you’ll get nothing.” The doctor agreed.
The doctor soon discovered what was wrong with her, but he decided not to cure her right away. Instead each time he visited, he secretly took some of her things. When he had taken away everything, he wanted to cure her blindness and asked for the money.
Now the old woman could see again, she noticed that all her things had gone and she refused to pay the money. So the doctor took her before a judge.
“What the doctor said is true,” she said to the judge. “But I say I was not well cured, because I still can’t see any of the things in my house.”
The old woman won the case and the doctor went away unhappily without getting his pay.

Bill is only fifteen years old, but he’s already very rich. Two years ago, Bill began a football website(网站) for young people. “I became interested in computers when I was 8 because my father’s job is with computers. As a little boy, I also loved football and so I decided to make a website, especially for people of my age.”
Bill started the “Football OK!” website two years ago, and now more than 20,000 people visit it every day.
Bill is a schoolboy and a businessman as well. He usually gets up at six o’clock and looks at his e-mails. Then he goes to school from nine to four. In the evenings, he always works for about four hours on his website.
Bill’s next plan is a new website:“At the moment I am thinking about a new website on American football, maybe for next year.”
And is Bill the same person that he was three years ago? “No, I am very different now. I have met a lot of interesting people on the website and I have traveled all over the world.” Bill doesn’t know about the future. “Maybe I will sell the websites. I really don’t know. I’ll just wait and see.”
