As the days went by, the chimp (猩猩) by the name of Maggie grew more and more 1 . Tom and Peg didn't sit with her very much now because it was too hard to look after her.

  One afternoon Mother asked Tom and Peg to keep Maggie out of 2 . At first everything went 3 well. Maggie played quietly, so Tom and Peg went 4 to do their lessons.

  Very quietly Maggie slipped out of the bedroom. She went straight into the kitchen (厨房), where she saw an open jar of jam. Down she sat and 5 it all.

  When the jam was 6 , she slipped quietly down the hall into Mother's room. She opened the closet (衣柜) door and there hung all Mother's 7 . This was going to be fun! Out came the clothes, and Maggie began to 8 herself up.

  By the time Mother came back, Maggie had had 9 Mother's new spring hat and the skirt of her new suit. Jam stains (斑点) were all over the skirt, all over the walls, and all over the closet door, too.

  Maggie heard 10 coming into the bedroom. Quickly she reached up to turn off the closet 11 .

  “Maggie!” shouted Mrs Davis.

  Both Tom and Peg jumped up and ran to see 12 had happened.

  Maggie had never looked so 13 in all her life. But the children didn't 14 . They heard their mother say 15 ,“Tom and Peg, this is all your fault (过失) You promised to 16 Maggie!”

  Mother started 17 to pull off her hat. But Maggie showed her teeth and acted as if she were ready to fight.

  At that moment Father walked in. Maggie 18 down at once and ran up to him as if he were her only 19 .

  Father took one 20 at the jam-covered hands and marched Maggie straight to the bathroom to wash herself.

Tom was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, so he had to work in his spare time and during his holidays to pay for his education. In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies.
One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher’s shop(肉店)during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts(账目). In the hospital , on the other hand, he was , of course , allowed to do the simplist jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher’s shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white clothes.
One evening at the hospital, Tom had to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to have an operation. The woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her.
“No! No!” she cried. “Not my butcher! I won’t be operated on by my butcher!” and fainted away(昏厥).
68. Tom made enough money by ________.
A. studying in the university         B. working in a butcher’s shop
