　　Money is a blessing when it is used correctly．　　1　　 is true of all other good things．They bless if used 　　2　　;they surse（诅咒）when misused．Many people do not seem to know 　　3　　 money is for．They want it above all other things．But they want to spend it chiefly on 　　4　　．

　　Some boys and girls appear to 　　5　　 that money is used to buy good clothes,foods,toys and amusements．Some also seem to think that money is used to buy leisure（空闲）．They 　　6　　 that the greatest happiness is to 　　7　　 without work．But that is not at all what money is for．We should get nearer to the 　　8　　 than that．

　　Money is our circulating medium（流通手段）in trade．Families need it to buy things they must 　　9　　．In this way society 　　10　　,and the world of traffic prospers（繁荣）．Money means food,clothing,housing,schools,books,wise amuse ment,and the 　　11　　 of doing good．

　　Of course money is not something to store．Its value 　　12　　 its use．A million gold dollars would have been 　　13　　 no more than a million stones 　　14　　 Robinson Crusoe on his island home．There was nothing to buy,and 　　15　　,no use for money．And so money that is 　　16　　 stored is of no value．It is not used to buy the necessaries of life,　　17　　 help those who are in need．That is not what money is for．

　　The Bible（《圣经》）　　18　　 that“the love of money is the 　　19　　 of all evil”,That is,money sought only for its own sake（缘故）is the cause of all sorts of evillying,stealing,cheating,robbery,and 　　20　　 murder．This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money．

　　Often, I wonder why people like Michael Jordan and O．J．Simpson are considered heroes．People will say that Jordan and Simpson are heroes because they are good 　　1　　 to young people．They are two incredibly gifted men who play their 　　2　　 sports with tremendous heart and determination．They have shown 　　3　　 and personality at all times on and off the court and they’ve 　　4　　 millions of people．Mentioned as well will be that Jordan is basketball’s greatest player, and Simpson 　　5　　 among the greatest running backs in football history．However, the question remains, are they really heroes?

　　Perhaps Jordan is a hero because he has an incredible gambling 　　6　　 losing up to two million dollars per day．And he has repeatedly stated that 　　7　　 he is the National Basketball Association’s highest paid player in 1997 he will retire permanently．

　　For years O．J．Simpson was known as the“Greatest American Hero”．And people of all ages 　　8　　 with him and idolized him．He was the greatest running back to ever play for the Buffalo Bills and became an instant movie star．　　9　　, it took two brutal murders, and a few 911 tapes to show the country 　　10　　 our hero really was．He is a wife beater and an accused murderer．　　11　　 being acquitted(宣告无罪)for double murder, he has done nothing but attempt to 　　12　　 selling infomercials．

　　Jordan and Simpson are not 　　13　　 role models．They are past and present athletes who have used their 　　14　　 abilities to become national superstars．　　15　　 people see Jordan slam the door and they wanted to be like him．This is 　　16　　 parents would tell their children that these athletes can be 　　17　　 for their exceptional talent in sports, but 　　18　　 they live their lives 　　19　　 the court is what separates them from 　　20　　 heroes．
