Question

【题目】阅读与回答问题

At one time, howeverHenry Bond was about ten years old when his father died. His mother found it difficult to provide for the support of a large family, but still everything was left in her care. By good management, however, she tried to do well and also to send Henry, the oldest, to school, and to supply him, for the most part, with such books as he needed.

, Henry wanted a grammar book, in order to join a class in that study, and his mother could not help him with the money to buy it. He was very worried about it, and went to bed with a heavy heart thinking what could be done.

On waking in the morning, he found that a deep snow had fallen, and the cold wind was blowing strongly. “Ah,” said he, “it is an ill wind that blows nobody good.”

He rose, ran to house of a neighbour, and offered his service to clear a path around his houses. The offer was accepted. Having completed this work, and received his pay, he went to another place for the same purpose, and then to another, until he had earned enough money to buy a grammar book.

When school began, Henry was in his seat, the happiest boy there, ready to begin the lesson in his new book.

From that time, Henry was always the first in all his classes. He knew no such word as fail, but was always successful in all he had tried.
