All kinds of people came in to have their shoes shined. Most folks were friendly. But this man was different.
“How much do you make a week, boy?”he asked me. I felt he was __1__ at me.
He kept giving a sharp __2__ around every now and then. All the time I kept __3__ where I'd seen his face. Suddenly I knew. I'd seen his __4__ in the post office many times. He was the big robber: __5__ by the police in three states!
“You know, ”he was saying,“it's imagination people __6__. You'll never get anywhere as a shoeshine boy.”
I kept brushing on his shoes as __7__ as I could. The sooner I finished, the better. He said,“When I was sixteen, I had __8__ $ 2 500 of my own.”
That reminded me of something. Was it $ 2 500 or $ 5 000 or $ 25 000? I wasn't __9__. I knew a big reward was __10__ for him.
But what could I do about it? __11__ him with a can of shoe polish(擦亮剂)? A man his __12__ could grind(压碎)me into the floor. If only someone would come in! He kept talking away(喋喋不休).“Along with __13__, it takes courage. The courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoestring(鞋带).”
Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey __14__ across the street. Then, real fast, I began tightening the man's shoestrings.
The policeman was at the window when I cried out,“Officer Dailey, __15__! This man's a robber.”
“__16__,”the man shouted angrily. He started to jump off the stand. But he didn't go the __17__ he planned. He fell flat on his face and knocked himself out cold.
“That was __18__ clever of you,”the officer said. “You'll get a reward of $ 7 500 for him.”
“Well, it really wasn't my __19__,”I said.“It was his. He told me that __20__ you had courage and imagination, you could start something big on a shoestring.”

固定结构make/earn money“赚钱”。(9)be sure
“确定”be clear此处主语应为人,“……清楚,明了”。(10)offer a big reward for him.

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.
Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心) about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of stories or 18 is called the general reader.
As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20. Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21 you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own. Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases; negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent copying is a help to 25 by heart.
