“How’s your business?” the doctor began．
“It could be better．I could make a few hundred pounds, ”said the shopkeeper．
“Well, ”smiled the doctor, “you have a sweepstake ticket．What would you do if you won 1 000 pounds?”
“Nobody ever wins, ”the man answered with a sigh．“But if I won, I would send my family to the seashore, and pay off my debts．”
“Suppose you win 50 000 pounds?”
“I would buy this house and a villa(别墅)in the country．”
“What would you do if you won 100 000 pounds?”
