A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had　 26　 to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well　 27　 it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted.

　　　　 Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how　 28　 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how　 29　 he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. 30 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his　 31　 to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then　 32　 out of the house, leaving the Bible.

　　　 　Many years passed and the young man was very　 33　 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. 34　 that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him　 35　 that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a　 36　 telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take　 37　 of the things that his father left him.

　　　　 When he began to search through his father’s important

papers, he saw the still new Bible,　 38　　 as he had left

it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to　　 39

the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）

dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the

40　　 of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN

FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.

One evening I went to have dinner with my uncle and aunt. They had 　l invited another person, a young woman, so that there would be four people at 2　 . Her face was familiar (面熟的). I was quite 　3 　that we had met 4 , but I could not 　5 　where I had seen her face. In the course of the talk, however, the young woman 　6 　to tell us that she had lost her purse the other day. All at once I remembered where I had seen her face. She was just the young girl in the photo in the purse I had picked up while walking down the street that afternoon, although she looked much older. She was 　7 　, of course, when I was 　8 　to describe her purse to her. Then I explained (解释) that I had recognized (认出) her from the photo I had found in the purse. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to fetch the purse.

As the policeman handed it 　9 , he said I had found not 　10 　the purse, but the person who had lost it.

Once　upon　a　time,　a　young　man　was　standing　in　the　middle　of　the　town　announcing　that　he　had　the　most　beautiful　heart　in　the　world.　A　large　crowd　gathered,　and　they　al　praised　his　heart　for　it　was　perfect.
Suddenly,　an　old　man　appeared　and　said,　“Why　,your　heart　is　not　as　beautiful　as　mine.”
The　old　man’s　heart　was　ful　of　scars（伤疤）.　Some　pieces　of　his　heart　were　removed　and　some　pieces　from　other　people　were　put　in,　but　they　didn’t　fit　quite　right.　So　there　were　several　jagged（锯齿状的）edges.　In　fact,　there　were　stil　some　holes　in　his　heart　where　the　pieces　were　missing.
The　 young　 man　 laughed,“Comparing　yours　with　mine,　mine　is　perfect　and　yours　is　a　mess.”
“Yes,”said　the　old　man.　“But,　every　scar　shows　that　I　took　out　a　piece　of　my　heart　and　gave　it　to　a　person,　and　often　he　gave　me　a　piece　of　his　heart　in　return.”
“Why　do　you　have　some　jagged　edges　in　your　heart?”asked　the　young　man.“Because　the　shapes　of　the　pieces　weren’t　the　same.”“Then　the　holes?”“Sometimes　I　gave　pieces　of　my　heart　away,　and　the　other　person　hasn’t　given　back　a　piece　of　his,　so　… but　I　don’t　care.”“How　come?”“They　remind　me　of　the　love　we　shared.”
The　young　man　was　deeply　moved.　He　walked　up　to　the　old　man,　took　a　piece　of　his　heart　out　and　gave　it　to　the　old　man.
The　old　man　placed　it　in　his　heart,　then　took　a　piece　from　his　old　scarred　heart　and　placed　it　in　the　wound（伤口）in　the　young　man’s　heart.　It　fitted,　but　not　perfectly,　as　there　were　some　jagged　edges.
The　young　man　looked　at　his　heart,　not　perfect　any　more　but　more　beautiful　than　ever.
How　sad　it　must　be　to　go　through　 life　 with　 a　 whole　untouched　heart!
【小题1】　The　young　man　stood　in　the　town　to　_____.
