  “Catch him !” she cried, standing up and using her stick for support. The criminal(罪犯) was now rushing towards the seats and the officer was getting up. Her anger increased when she saw red blood on the officer's face. As the criminal reached the seat on her left, she pushed her stick towards him and he fell heavily to the ground with a loud cry…

  

  A strange sound came from Mrs. Frobisher's mouth. Her heart was making a terrible 1 in her ears. As the stick flew across the station, she 2 back on the seat. She closed her eyes for a moment.

  

  When she opened them, the criminal was 3 to get up, but the police were beside him before he was on his feet. He had no 4 of escape , and was led outside by the police.

  

  The officer 5 up Mrs. Frobisher's stick and took it back to her. “Yours, I think, Madam,” he said, 6 heavily. Then he took out a 7 . “May I have your name and address, please, Madam?”

  

  “Oh, why?” said Mrs. Frobisher in a weak voice. “I didn't really 8 him, did I?”

  

  “You did very well indeed, Madam,” he said. “That man's a 9 robber, and we've been trying to catch him for weeks. We were 10 that he was on that train from London, and so we 11 for him. He almost escaped, as you noticed, but your quick 12 stopped that. We were delighted when we saw him on the 13 .”

  

  “Then why do you want my name and address?” she asked.

  

  He pointed 14 the notice----board on the right. “There's a notice over there,” he said. “It's too far away to 15 from here, but the Southern Bank has offered 16 to anyone who helps to catch this man. You helped a great deal, Madam; so, if you'll 17 give me your name and address, you'll no 18 receive the money in a short time. ”

  

  “I'm not as 19 as I used to think,” Mrs. Frobisher told herself.

  

  “ 20 , Madam?” the officer said.

  

  “Never mind,” she said, and told him who she was.

It’s only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail — which,    11  , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something    12   in the company should ever do. I wish I    13   give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow —    14   it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I’m    15  , experienced and I know better.
   16   I work with some very kind and compassionate (富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to    17   by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar    18   they have made. Evidently I’m not the only “   19  ” person here.
One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who    20   the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely    21   about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would    22   to such an extremely embarrassing incident.
As I expected, Lois didn’t pass over the    23   when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly,    24   with empathetic consideration. She listened to my    25  . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n)    26  .
“It happened”, she said, “There’s nothing you can do to    27   that. It happened. But it’s over now. It’s    28  . It’s in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her    29   to her work, as if to say, “We’re done here.”
I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those    30   words: It’s over. It’s done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We’re friends.” “I’d rather pay,” I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans “There’s no free lunch.” meaning, there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.
Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granting (花岗石).
Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift—friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty of to do. But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I”
And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies!”
How time flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know, which they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.
So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.

A. Because he was an upright (正直的) man.
B. Because he didn’t know the repairman.
C. Because he thought it natural to pay for others’ service.
D. Because he didn’t want to help others in return.
70. Generally, the author thinks that _____ .
A. Chinese are generous and always ready to help their friends
B. Chinese are good at exchange of equal values
C. Chinese are free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends
D. Chinese are helpful but don’t treasure time
71. The best title of the article should be _____ .
