3.Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school.But this story is one (16)C that I will never forget.
It was a normal Monday morning,and my teacher was teaching us about (17)Athings in life and about devoting ourselves to what we really need.This is how the story went:
(18)B lived in a certain part of London,and he would wake up every morning and go to the underground.He would get onto the train right to Central London,and then sit at the street corner and (19)D.He would do this every single day of his life.He sat at(20)Cstreet corner and begged for almost 20years.
His (21)A was dirty,and a stench (惡臭) came out.The neighbours could not bear theA(22)Aany more,so they called for the police officers to clear the place.The officers knocked down the door and (23)Bthe house.There were small bags of(23)Ball over the house that he had collected over the years.
The police counted the money,and they soon (25)Cthat the old man was a millionaire.They waited outside his house expecting to (26)Bthe good news with him.When the old man arrived home that evening,one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a (27)Aman now,a millionaire.
But the old man said (28)C;he went into his house and locked the door.The next morning he woke up(29)D,went to the underground,sat at the same street corner and continued to beg.
Clearly,this old man had no great plans,(30)D or anything significant (重大的) for his life.We learn nothing from this story but to stay focused on the things we enjoy doing.
