Mother managed to buy me some more paint and brushes, along with one or two drawing books and a pencil．This, of course, broadened my range of expression and 　　1　　 me to have a greater 　　2　　 of subjects．After the first few weeks of uncertainty and awkwardness, I 　　3　　 contentedly with my new pastime(消遣)．I 　　4　　 every day upstairs in the back bedroom, completely 　　5　　 I was 　　6　　．I didn’t know it then, but I had found a way to be happy again and 　　7　　 some of the things that had made me unhappy．　　8　　 I learnt to forget myself．I didn’t miss 　　9　　 with my brothers now, for I had something to keep my mind 　　10　　, something to make each day a thing to 　　11　　．I would sit on the floor for hours, holding 　　12　　 between my toes, my right leg curled up(蜷缩的)under my left, my arms held tightly at my sides, hands clenched(紧握)．All my paint and brushes were 　　13　　 me, and I 　　14　　 get mother or father to pin(钉住)the drawing paper to the floor with tacks(大头钉)to keep it 　　15　　．It looked like a very awkward position, with my head almost 　　16　　 my knees and my back as crooked as a corkscrew(瓶塞钻)，but I painted all my best pictures 　　17　　, with the wooden floor as my only easel(画架)．Slowly I began to recover from my 　　18　　 depression(消沉)．I had a feeling of pure joy while I painted, 　　19　　 I had never experienced before and 　　20　　 seemed almost to lift me above myself．

　　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．

　　It was an early September day,cool and bright and just right for running,and I was in the first few miles of a 10 mile race over a course with a few high hills,　　1　　,I felt energetic;despite the hills,it going to be a 　　2　　 run．

　　Just ahead of me was Peggy,a teacher from Mount Kisco．She was too running 　　3　　,moving along at my speed．The pace felt comfortable,so I decided to 　　4　　 where I was．Why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a good one?I'd overtake her 　　5　　 when she was tired．

　　So I ran behind her,The course 　　6　　 north for five miles,wandered west for a hilly mile,then turned south again along a winding road．The race was getting 　　7　　．We had four miles 　　8　　 and already it was beginning to be real work．

　　Peggy overtook a young runner．She seemed to 　　9　　 him,for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him．Their exchange 　　10　　 me．

You don't chat during a race 　　11　　 you are feeling good and Peggy plainly was．

　　Sill,I was 　　12　　 enough to overtake her if she was tired,so I didn't give up hope completely．We were getting nearer to a tong,punishing hill now and it would be the 　　13　　．We were a mile from tile finish line,　　14　　 whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first．

　　As I moved up the hill,my 　　15　　 wandered for a few minutes．When I 　　16　　,Peggy was moving away— first five yards,then ten,then more．Finally it was clear that there was no 　　17　　 of catching her．She beat me soundly．

　　There is an important 　　18　　 in that race,Women are thought to be weaker,slower and not nearly 　　19　　 skilled in sport．Yet as Peggy so clearly showed,the similarities between men and women runners are more important than the differences．I have run with 　　20　　 women,and I can say that it is often hard work．
