17．She continued to see her friends，but gave up going to cafès to see them．"Instead of meeting for lunch in a cafè as usual，we'd take sandwiches and home-made soup and eat in the park，"said Kath．She made the soup every morning from chicken given away by a local shop and whatever cheap vegetables she could find．She found out that small food shops often sell whatever is left over at the end of the day very cheaply because they cannot keep it overnight．She really lived a simple life．
Kath picked fruit from bushes and trees and looked out for free buffets（自助餐）．"I was the queen of the buffet．Every time there was a public event and a crowd was needed，I was there．I took my friends out to free events，too．I couldn't buy drinks for them or anything like that so I'd take them to art openings．"
Kath also picked up coins dropped in the street and managed to collect£117．She said，"I kept it for emergencies （紧急情况），but in the end I didn't need it so at the end of the year I gave it to charity．"Kath says one of her best tips is to hand out small gifts whenever you can----what you receive in return will usually be of a greater value．
During the 365days of her experiment she managed to keep to her budget（预算）．By the end of the year，Kath was able to use some of the£10，000salary she had saved up to buy a special gift for her brother Danny．She said，"Before，I enjoyed spending money on treats，like chocolate and weekends away，but now I don't see the need for expensive things．I don't spend much at all，though it is probably more than£1a day．"

16．When she moved the covering cloth to look upon his tiny face，she was shocked．The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window．The baby had been born without ears．
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect．When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother's arms，she sighed，knowing that his life was to be full of heart-breaks for his imperfect appearance．
He grew up，handsome for his misfortune and popular with his fellow students．He might have been class monitor，but for that．He developed a gift，a talent for literature and music．
Two years went by．One day，his father said to the son，"You're going to the hospital，son．Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need．But it's a secret．"The operation was a brilliant success，and a new person turned up．His talents blossomed into genius，and his school and college became a series of success．Later he married and entered the diplomatic service．
One day，he urged his father，"Who gave so much for me？I must know!I could never do enough for him．"
"I do not believe you could，"said the father，"but the agreement was that you are not to know…not yet．"
The years kept their secret，but the day did come---one of the darkest days that a son must endure．He stood with his father over his mother's casket （棺材）．Slowly，tenderly，the father reached out a hand and raised the thick，reddish-brown hair to show that the mother had no outer ears．
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，"he whispered gently，"and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful，did they？"
Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance，but in the heart．Real treasure lies not in what can be seen，but in what cannot be seen．Real love lies not in what is done and known，but in what is done and not known．

C．With donated ears，the son's life developed smoothly．
D．The son attempted to repay the donator's kindness．
23．Why did the boy's mother never have her hair cut？D
A．Because she liked her thick and brown hair．
B．Because her hair added to her beauty．
C．Because her long hair was her pride．
D．Because her hair helped to keep a secret．
24．Which is the best title for the passage？C
A．An Unfortunate Boy                B．Mother's Hair
