While I was waiting to go into university, I saw in a newspaper a teaching job wanted at a school about ten miles from where I 16 . Because I was in great need of 17 and wanted to do something useful, I applied(申请).
Three days later, a letter 18 . It asked me to see the 19 at Croydon. It proved to be a(n) 20 journey —a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of 21 a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. Clearly, the principal 22 opened the door. He was 23 and round.
“The school” he said, “has a group of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen.”
I should have to teach all the 24 except art, which he taught himself. I should have to divide the class into 25 groups and teach them at three different 26 , and I was not 27 at the thought of teaching maths —a subject which I didn’t do very well in at school. It was 28 that I had to teach them on Saturday afternoon 29 most of my friends would be 30 themselves at that time.
Before I had time to ask about my salary(薪水), he got up to his feet. “Now,” he said. “you’d better meet my wife. She is the one who really runs this school.”

American people have the habit of saying “Thank you”when something kind is done for them or something polite is said to them, no matter how easy the thing is. This habit is learned by people of many countries.
You should say “Thank you”when someone you the salt on the table, when someone walks aside to let you in a corridor （走廊）, when someone ahead of you keeps the door open you, when someone says your work is well or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful.
“Thank you”is not only between strangers or new friends, but also between old friends, parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. Parents often tell children that they should say “Thank you”in answer to a kind word or act when they are only four five years old. Perhaps that’s almost everyone has got this habit.

The merchant had a young son，who wanted to be a sailor ，so the captain took him for voyages(航海) in his . One day when the captain had come from a voyage with a lot of money，the merchant told him that the price of iron(铁) had and suggested that he should buy some with his money. “I’ll it for you in my storehouse you return from your next voyage，and perhaps you’ll get money．”
But while the captain was away，the price of iron went up very ，so the merchant sold it and kept the money．When the captain came back，his friend told him that he was very sorry and the mice had all the iron．
The captain knew that his friend was telling ，but he stayed and said，“I knew that you had problems with mice in your storehouse．”
After a few days，the captain started voyage，and when he returned home，he said to the merchant，“I’m very sorry，but our voyage a bird came down and carried your son away．”
The merchant was very and said，“Birds cannot carry boys!” “And can mice eat iron，” answered the captain．The merchant took the captain to a judge，who said，“The merchant must give the captain the money which he got when he the iron，and then the captain must bring the merchant’s son back to him. ”

Is money everything? At present some people think that is everything. Some of them even their lives for it. Money has its most useful on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn't mean more .
If money was , all millionaires would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. , this is not always true.
Nothing else is more than the three words “I love you”. But can be bought？I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are the most valuable things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, of them are millionaires. True friendship can't be bought . Many other things be bought with money: knowledge, life and happiness and so on.
