One day a poor boy, who was selling newspapers in a town, found that he had only ten pennies（便士）left, and he was hungry. He decided to ask for a  1.  at the next house. However, he had another idea when a young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. But as he looked   2. , she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it, and then asked, “How much do I own（欠）you?”

“My mother teaches me that I should   3.  get money for any kindness,” she replied. “So you don’t owe me  4. .”

Many years later, the woman became seriously ill. Then she was sent to a famous hospital in London. Dr Kelly was called in to study her illness. When he heard the name of the  5.  which she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. As soon as he walked into her room, he got to know her at once. He did his best to  6.  her.

Once there was a king who told some of his people to dig a pond （池子）.The king then told his people that one person   1   each family had to bring a glass of milk during the night and put it into the pond. So, by the morning, the pond should be   2  of milk.

After   3   the order, everyone went home. As one man prepared his milk, he thought that since everyone was bringing milk, he would just   4   a glass of water and put that into the pond instead.   5   it was dark at night, no one would notice it, so he quickly went and put the water into the pond and   6   home.

In the morning, the king went to visit the pond. To his   7  , the pond was only filled with water! What happened? Yes! Everyone had the same idea   8   that man. They all thought, “I don’t have to waste my milk. Someone else will do it.”
