On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the   36  of the young man.
The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. 37  from the day before, he took out a large piece of   38  and laid it on the ground. Then he began  39 .
Before long, the young violinist was   40  with people, who were all attracted by the   41  on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat  42 . Please come to claim(认领) it soon."
After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 43 through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would   44  come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.
"Did you   45 something?"
"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist  46  a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and   47  it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which   48  him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat.  49  , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket   50  himself, the violinist said,"  51  I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should   52 be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we  53 succeed temporarily (暂时). However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser. Such a person is just like the   54  on the mountain. It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the 55 of going up.

Teary Joe was a boy with a special ability: he could cry in less than a second．If he  36 something or things became difficult, Joe would  37 a pitiful face．In this way he got everything he wanted,  38     no one could resist（抗拒） his sad face．

But one day, Joe met Pipo．Pipo was begging in the street for some  39 ．Pipo was very poor, but he always had the biggest_ 40 on his face．

Joe decided to help Pipo make some money．He went over to Pipo, took off his hat, and started crying with the most pitiful_  41 ．

In a few minutes, Joe's hat was full of coins, but when Joe offered all these to Pipo, Pipo  42      him down．

"I prefer  43 what I receive," answered Pipo with his usual smile．"It's much more fun making a（n）44 to get things．Today I've washed a dog,  45 a blind old lady to the park and helped a stranger to mind his bag．Maybe I haven't gotten what I've wanted, but I've done many  46 things．"

Joe walked  47 away．He had gotten everything he wanted, but he'd done  48  nothing of interest．He hadn't even  49  himself spending almost all his time crying．

That evening, Joe_  50 a delicious cake for his supper．When his mother  51 , Joe tried to cry, but_ 52 how joyful Pipo was, Joe couldn't do it．Instead, he had an idea．He tried to get the cake in another way． Joe spent the whole evening helping his mother water the Plants and   53 the rooms．

In the end there was no  54 ．But that wasn't so bad, because Joe  55 it had been much more fun doing all those than just crying to get a piece of cake．
