You’ll be killed if you take even a drop of it. There is also some meat and chicken in the cupboard．Take care of them. ”   6   these words the rich man left the home.

　　    7   the master turned his back, the servant opened the cupboard and began to   8   all the nice things in it. He emptied the two bottles and ate up the meat, the chicken and   9   he found in the cupboard．He was   10   and soon fell   11   .

    At mid- night the rich man returned home. He   12   the cupboard and, to his great surprise, all his wine and food were   13   . He was mad with   14   and called the servant up.

    “Oh, Master,” the servant began   15   the rich man could open his mouth, “while you were away, the neighbor’s black cat   16   our kitchen (厨房) and ate up everything in the cupboard．I know you would be angry with me. I was so   17   that I drank the two bottles of poison to kill   18   ” There were tears in the servant ‘ s eyes. “Oh, Master,” he continued．“Please don’t get angry with a   19   man. I’ll soon be dead.”

    The rich man, of course, did not   20   a word of his story. But again, he could do nothing about it.

“Now which 5 shall I choose？”she thought. “Well, I think a black one would be the most useful really. You can carry that when you are wearing 6 of any color, can’t you?”So having made up her 7 , she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it back to the college with her 8 her classes had finished.

On her way back home in the train that evening she felt hungry because she had had such a small lunch, so she went 9 to the buffet car(餐车) for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had 10 the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment, but when she got back, it was 11 ! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers in it, but now there were three.

Sally burst into 12 when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the 13 was. When she explained that the black umbrella she had bought 14 her mother had disappeared, and that she had to get out at the next 15 , the three other passengers asked her for her mother’s 16 , in order to be able to send the umbrella on to her in case someone had 17 it by mistake and not on 18, and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.

The next week, Sally heard 19 her mother. Her letter said,“Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me 20 black umbrellas?”

One afternoon mother asked Tom and Peg to keep Maggie out of 2 . At first everything went 3 well. Maggie played quietly, so Tom and peg went 4 to do their lessons.

Very quietly Maggie slipped out of the bedroom. She went straight into the kitchen, where she saw an open jar of jam. Down she sat and 5 it all.

When the jam was 6 , she slipped quietly down the hall into mother’s room. She opened the closet door and there hung all mother’s 7 . This was going to be fun! Out came the clothes, and Maggie began to 8 herself up.

By the time mother came back, Maggie had had 9 mother’s new spring hat and the skirt of her new suit. Jam stains were all over the skirt, all over the walls, and all over the closet(衣柜) door, too.

Maggie heard 10 coming into the bedroom. Quickly she reached up to turn off the closet 11 “Maggie!” screamed Mrs. Davis.

Both Tom and Peg jumped up and ran to see 12 had happened.

Maggie had never looked so 13 in all her life. But the children didn’t 14 . They heard their mother say 15, “Tom and Peg, this is all your fault! You promised to 16 Maggie!”

Mother started 17 to pull off her hat. But Maggie showed her teeth and acted as if she were ready to fight.

At that moment Father walked in. Maggie 18 down at once and ran up to him as if he were her only 19 Father took one 20 at the jam—covered hands and marched Maggie straight to the bath—room to wash herself.

—Thomas Macaulay

Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York.  One day, Mrs. Manette O’Neill gave an arithmetic  1  to our class. When the papers were  2  , she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the  3  mistake throughout the test.

There is nothing really new about  4  in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Nei11 5   even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to  6  after class. I was one of the twelve.

 Mrs. O’Neill asked  7  questions, and she didn’t 8 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the  9 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 10  these words into our exercise books one hundred times.

I don’t  11  about the other eleven boys. Speaking for  12  I can say: it was the most, important single  13  of my life. Thirty years after being  14  to Macaulay’s words, they 15 seem to me the best yardstick (准绳), because they give us a 16 to measure ourselves rather than others.

 17  of us are asked to make  18  decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called  19  daily to make a great many personal decisions. 20  the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket  21 turned over to the policeman? Should the  22 change received at the store be forgotten or  23 ? Nobody will know except  24 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always  25  to live with someone you respect.

Just then his friend Ben came 3 He laughed when he saw Tom painting. “What’s the 4, Tom? Does your aunt want you to work on such a nice day?”

Tom did not 5 painting. “Work? Oh, no, Ben. You see, painting is an 6 .First you must choose the right day, then you must get the best paint and brush. But most important of all, you must have the right 7. Aunt Polly says that there isn’t a boy in town 8 can paint this fence like me!”

Ben’s eyes opened wider. “Really, Tom? Let me try a 9.”

“Oh that isn’t possible ,” said Tom. “My Aunt Polly is very sure of the 10 she wants her fence painted．Remember, she chose me.”

“Come on, Tom, I’ll give you half my apple if you let me paint,” Ben 11 “Your aunt will never know the 12!”

“Oh, you’re wrong about that, Ben,” answered Tom. “She has very good  13. And think how I would feel 14  all,” she asked me to paint her fence.

“You may have my whole apple,” Ben said．“Give me the paint brush now.”

“Well, if you really think you can do it—here, 15 the brush but be very careful the way you paint.” Tom took a 16 into the red apple.

Half an hour later, when his friend had painted four 17 of the fence, Tom said, “You’re doing it quite well, Ben, but of course you need to do much more 18 you can really call yourself a painter.”

As each hour passed, Tom’s painting became more complete.  Each friend who happened to walk past took his 19 at painting a few boards — all for a price, of course. “You have to make them think it’s 20 wonderful,” thought Tom. “They’d never want to do it without paying for it.”

    The waiter came hurrying up．Before I came downstairs I had prepared   6   carefully for what I must   7   ．I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure   8   “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”．I had tried to get the right   9   and I had stood in front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.

    Suddenly the crowd became silent．Mary and Margaret looked in the   5   where everybody was looking．They saw some men in the window of the house   6   the burning building．The window frame had been   7   out and a long ladder had been   8   out of the window, towards the burning building,   9   the narrow street．It was a sort of air bridge high above the ground.
