A very interesting thing happened to me last year．

One night, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend of mine and I went home happily through the quiet street．We had   1   to a musical show（音樂(lè)會(huì)）and were talking about the people we had seen and heard in it．

"The show made him   2   overnight（一夜之間）．"My friend said about one of them．" He was unknown before．And now thousands of people   3   him presents and letters．" "I     4   him quite good．" I said, "but not worth thousands of letters．In fact, one of his   5   gave me a shock（震驚）．It gave people too much   6  ．" "What was that?" my friend asked me,"  7  it to me．" I began to sing at the top of my voice．"Oh, no, you will give everybody a shock and   8   them up for kilometers round．Maybe there will be a policeman  9   us．" "Never mind．" I said and  10  singing．

Just at that time there came a policeman   11   in front of me with his note book open．

"  12  , sir," he said, "you have a very good voice, who taught you to sing? I'd very much 13   to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons, she likes it very much．Would you be  14   enough to tell me your name and  15  ? Then my wife and I will visit you and we can talk about it．"

When I was young, I always helped my grandfather in the fields. As I worked beside him, he   １  to tell a story about a man named Joe, and his wife, who moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were setting into the new place   ２  a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the earth. Joe was very   3 , and told his sons about it.

They began to dig in one corner, and they got to the end of the field. At the same time, Joe thought he would   4  some crops where the earth had been   5 . The plants included corn, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. His sons continued to dig through the soil, made up their mind to find the gold. Since   6  soil was being turned, Joe could plant more crops. Joe had never farmed before, but it had always been his   7 .

As different crops came ready to be harvested, Joe started to   8  that there were more vegetables than he and his family could ever   9 . One of Joe’s neighbors suggested that he   10  a vegetable shop. Joe and his wife did that very thing. They called it Joe and Family Vegetable. Joe even had to leave some crops in the fields,   11  he had more than enough to supply the vegetable shop.

This went on for years, and Joe and his wife became quite   12  from their little vegetable shop. They were even able to   13  their sons to college.

Remember the beginning of the story, when Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe’s   14 of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbor friend actually meant that his land had rich   15 . So you can see where the concept（概念）of gold comes from.
