  After the First World War, a small group of old soldiers returned to their village in Britain.Most of them managed to   1   fairly well, but one-Francis Binstering, who had been wounded and never recovered his   2  -was unable to work regularly.  3   he became very poor.Yet he was too   4   to accept anything from the people in the village.

  Once these old soldiers held a reunion dinner in the home of Jules Grandin, who had made   5   money.Grandin produced a curiosity(稀奇的东西)-a large old   6   coin.Each man examined it with   7   as it passed around the long table.All,   8  , had drunk wine freely and the room was full of noisy talk,   9   the gold piece was soon forgotten.Later, when Grandin   10   it and asked for it, the coin was gone.

  One of them suggested everyone be searched,   11   which all agreed, except Blustering.“You   12  , then?” asked Grandin.Blustering said with a red face, “Yes, I cannot allow it.”

  One by one, the others turned out their pockets.When the coin was   13   to appear, attention was ?focused? on poor Blustering.Under the   14   stares of his friends, he walked out and returned to his home.

  A few years later, Grandin had his house repaired.A workman found the gold coin.  15   in dirt between planks(板)of the floor.Hurrying to Blustering’s home, Grandin apologized to him.

  “But why didn’t you allow yourself to be   16  ?” Grandin asked.

  “Because I was a   17  ,” Blustering said brokenly.“For weeks we had not enough to eat and my pockets were full of   18  , that I had taken from the table to   19   home to my wife and   20   children.”

  As a teenager I was a productive letter writer. One letter I wrote

  1  .to56pages, and was  2  .of the extremely ordinary details (微不足道的事) of daily life. It could only have been of interest to me, and maybe, the receiver. But then,  3  , it might become attractive just because of the  4  details it recorded.

  Official records of history-books and pictures--may record important events  5  they were always intended to have a large audience.  6  , letters tend not to be modified (修) , often true to  7  . They were, after all,  8  for just one pair of eyes.

  Sadly, however, we don t write proper letters any more. Not only that, but, it's a fact that nowadays hardly anyone  9  to the letters they have receivedWe think only about  10  living and throwing things out. Who among us will leave any helpful papers for historians? In researching a book, I would never have found out that, in the late   19  th century, showy(花枝招展) waistcoats caused a lot of  11  , if I hadn't read the  12  . One fellow even wrote to a friend to say that if he were to ever meet a man wearing a kind of showy clothes he  13  shoot the man on sight.

  What a  14  if such details were lost due to lack of letter writing and a little saving. I think we should all  15  to write at least one letter a month any try to  16  those we get.

    17  good emails should be printed out and kept, too. Emails may not leave an example of our handwriting, but  18  they allow us to record our lives.
