                                                             Yours

We live in central Phoenix, near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his dirty little dog hanging out down there.

I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn’t have been a problem; we have our own “mini farm” of animals! He would say “OK!” but then blow the idea off because of our business.

Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but his winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up(穿暖). Even the dog had a coat on! Not even thinking about it, I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little dog. I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog. He said, “Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel.” And there were tears filling his eyes! I told him he was so welcome, and then went home.

When my husband dug into the KFC gag he asked, “Were you hungry, or what?” I told him what I did and he said, “Only you!” Then he told me I had done a good thing.

A few weeks later, we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me, with his little dog. He asked whether I would mind adopting (收养) the dog. With tears in eyes, he said it had got too hard for him to care for the dog. He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldn’t have been up to it, so he hoped to give it to me. “Only you! In this city, you are the only person I can believe in!”

Now, every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace, I will recall the old man’s words and wish him good luck.

As we know, most of the material things in our daily life have to be bought with money. But money is not all powerful. Money can’t buy many things such as time and true love. There are 24 hours in a day. Sometimes when we are very happy, we wish that the period of happiness would last longer. But no matter what we do, or how much money we are willing to pay, we cannot make a day last longer than 24 hours. On the other hand, when we are unhappy, money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more quickly. True love is another thing which money cannot buy. Suppose we have someone who really loves us very much. Once he dies, he can give us no more love. Can our money raise him from death and make him love us as before? Here we can see very clearly that money cannot buy us love. Money can buy us diamond things, beautiful clothes, but never time and love. So money, after all, is not all powerful.

C. Money can buy people material things. D. Money doesn’t mean everything.

A. make money                                                       B. waste money         

C. save money                                                  D. worship (崇拜) money

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized (强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown 46  an amusing experience.
     One day, I   47  to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I  48   about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be  49  . Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not a proper topic. “Well,   50   change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well,   51  we talk about the Great Wall?   52   the way, have you ever   53  there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing    54  . It was magnificent.” He was   55   in thought when I began to talk  56 a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very   57   of it.”

Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help but  58  , “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do  59  , ” he answered,   60    surprised.

Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”  64   then did I know I had made a fool of  65  . Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.
