In a class I teach adults．I gave the task to “Go to someone you love, and tell them that you love them．”At the beginning of the next 　　1　　, one of the students began by saying, “I was 　　2　　 with you last week when you gave us this 　　3　　．But as I began driving home my conscience(良心)started talking．Then I knew 　　4　　 who I needed to say ‘I love you’to．Five years ago, my father and I had a 　　5　　 and never really resolved it．We 　　6　　 seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at family gatherings．We hardly 　　7　　 to each other．So by the time I got home, I had 　　8　　 myself I was going to tell my father I loved him．Just 　　9　　 that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest．At 5∶30, I was at my parents’house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would 　　10　　 the door．　　11　　 luck would have it, Dad did answer the door．I didn’t 　　12　　 any time－I took one step in the door and said, ‘Dad, I just 　　13　　 over to tell you that I love you．’It was as if a change came over my dad．Before my 　　14　　 his face softened, the wrinkles(皱纹)seemed to 　　15　　 and he began to cry．He 　　16　　 out and hugged me and said, ‘I love you too, son, but I’ve never been able to say it．’But that’s not 　　17　　 my point．Two days after that visit, my dad had a heart attack and is in the hospital．I don’t even know if he’ll 　　18　　 it．So my 　　19　　 to all of you is this：Don’t wait to do the things you know need to be done．What if I had waited to tell my dad？Take the 　　20　　 to do what you need to and do it now！”

阅读下面短文，从先入为主后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

　　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．
