　　There are many great doctors and perhaps it is enough to say that Dr Charles Mayo was one．　　1　　 it is not enough for me．Charles Mayo was not a 　　2　　 of mine in the sense that he would 　　3　　 by for dinner or remember my daughter's graduation．We were not that 　　4　　,for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California．He was a friend in the sense that he 　　5　　 more like a friend than a doctor,when he was being a doctor．

　　I got very close to him just once．More 　　6　　,he got very close to me．I was flying my own plane to Washington and felt a serious 　　7　　 in my back．It turned around,　　8　　 for a clinic nearby and got in 　　9　　 with Dr Jan,my doctor and good friend．Jan at once said I had appendicitis（阑尾炎）and I told him he was the 　　10　　 doctor I had ever met．“I have no fever and any other symptoms（症状）of it．How can I 　　11　　 have appendicitis?”

　　“If you want to 　　12　　 better as quickly as possible,we'll have Charles Mayo look at you．It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to 　　13　　 to Jans request．

　　Charles was washing his hands when I was 　　14　　 into the operating room．I said,my 　　15　　 shaking,You have done this before,haven't you?“Of course,Danny,”he said．“twice．”

　　He had many interests and 　　16　　 them with great humor．But while he was crazy about a lot of things,he was the craziest of all about being a doctor．And he faced death often enough to know that while it is final in one sense,it is not 　　17　　 final at all．He enjoyed 　　18　　 too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now．

　　　　19　　 he died on July 29,1968,at the age of seventy,following an accident,he lived on in the 　　20　　 of his books．I am glad he wrote them,because they give me and his other friends the feeling that we still have him— which we do．

　　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．
