When she had   15   done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed   16   the needle and the thread to the judge, saying, “Now it is your   17. I suppose you drive a car, and that you are quite sure about your own eyesight.”

The judge took the   18   and tried to thread it. After half a dozen tries, he had still not succeeded. The case (案例) against Mrs. Jones was   19, and her record   20   unbroken.

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the   36  of the young man.
The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. 37  from the day before, he took out a large piece of   38  and laid it on the ground. Then he began  39 .
Before long, the young violinist was   40  with people, who were all attracted by the   41  on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat  42 . Please come to claim(认领) it soon."
After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 43 through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would   44  come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.
"Did you   45 something?"
"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist  46  a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it?" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and   47  it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which   48  him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat.  49  , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket   50  himself, the violinist said,"  51  I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should   52 be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we  53 succeed temporarily (暂时). However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser. Such a person is just like the   54  on the mountain. It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the 55 of going up.
