  Money is a blessing when it is used correctly.  1   is true of all other good things.They bless if used   2  ;they surse(诅咒)when misused.Many people do not seem to know   3   money is for.They want it above all other things.But they want to spend it chiefly on   4  

  Some boys and girls appear to   5   that money is used to buy good clothes,foods,toys and amusements.Some also seem to think that money is used to buy leisure(空闲).They   6   that the greatest happiness is to   7   without work.But that is not at all what money is for.We should get nearer to the   8   than that.

  Money is our circulating medium(流通手段)in trade.Families need it to buy things they must   9  .In this way society   10  ,and the world of traffic prospers(繁荣).Money means food,clothing,housing,schools,books,wise amuse ment,and the   11   of doing good.

  Of course money is not something to store.Its value   12   its use.A million gold dollars would have been   13   no more than a million stones   14   Robinson Crusoe on his island home.There was nothing to buy,and   15  ,no use for money.And so money that is   16   stored is of no value.It is not used to buy the necessaries of life,  17   help those who are in need.That is not what money is for.

  The Bible(《圣经》)  18   that“the love of money is the   19   of all evil”,That is,money sought only for its own sake(缘故)is the cause of all sorts of evillying,stealing,cheating,robbery,and   20   murder.This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money.

  Perhaps you have read about “Robinson Crusoe”. Many children like to hear and read about this man who lived alone for years on an island far out in the ocean. His ship was driven on the rocks in a storm and all the other men on board were drowned (淹死). He alone reached the island. It is a long story and tells of many brave and clever things he did as he lived with his family of animals. When he first swam to the island, he did not know what he would find in this strange place. Here is part of his story. “What should I do? I was very wet and had no change of clothes. I was hungry and thirsty and did not know where to turn to find anything to eat or drink. Were there any wild animals on the island? Would they attack me?”

  “Night was coming on and I had to look for a place to sleep in. I stood there thinking and thinking. I did not know what to do.”

  “After a while I made up my mind to do as the birds do. I would sleep in a tree. I looked around and found a tree with strong, heavy branches in which I felt sure I could rest in comfort without danger of falling.”

  “I had no gun, but I had my knife with me, and with it I cut a thick stick. I wanted to be able to drive off any animal. Then I climbed the tree. As I was very tired, I fell asleep and did not wake up till the sun was high in the sky.”
