One summer evening as I was caking dinner, there was a knock at the door. I 　41 it and saw a truly bad-looking man. But his voice was 　42 as he said. "Good evening. I come to see if you have a 　43 for just one night. I came for a treatment this morning from eastern shore, and there's no bus till next morning." He told me he had been hunting (寻找) but with no 　44 . 1 told him we would find him a bed, but to rest on the porch (门廊). I went inside and prepared (准备) dinner. When we were ready, I asked him if he would like to 　45 us. "No, thank you. I have plenty." When I had 　46 the dinner, I went out to talk with him. It didn't take a long time to see that this old man had oversize (过大的) heart crowded that tiny body.

Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.

    He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would .a break and climb up on the fence(篱笆)along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day 1 will go there and see this wonderful place.”

    One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.

    As the afternoon went on, he began to know how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows. The girl said, “Sure, I know.” and invited him to sit on the porch (门廊).As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.
