Passage 22
(浙江省金华一中2008年5月高考模拟试卷)
We come
by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family
worked in our father’s store. 21
we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 22 and making a sale.
One
lesson stands out in my 23 . It was shortly before Christmas. I
was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy
section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was 24 a brown torn coat with dirty
sleeves. His shoes were scuffed and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy
looked poor to me - too poor to 25
to buy anything. He looked
26 the toy section,
picked up this item and 27 ,
and carefully put them 28 in their place.
Dad
came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes 29
and the dimple(酒窝) in his
cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he
was looking for a Christmas 30 to buy his brother. I was impressed that
Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his 31
and look around. He did.
After
about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 32 , walked up to my dad and said,
“How much for this, Mister?”
“How
much you got?” Dad asked.
The
little boy held out his hand and 33
it. His hand was creased(起皱) with 34
lines of dirt from holding his 35
too tightly. In his hand
36 two dimes, a nickel and two
pennies-27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’ll
just 37 it,” Dad said as he 38
the sale. Dad’s reply still
39 in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the
store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I
saw was a happy child with a
40 .
