One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods from door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to 36 for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve 37 a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked 38 so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it 39 , and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,” she 40 . “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a __41 .” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger 42 , but it also increased his faith in God and human race. He was about to give up before this point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled（难住）. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called 43 to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now 44 , was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light 45 his eyes. Immediately, he 46 and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
47 in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He 48 her at once. He went back to the consultation room and 49 to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave 50__attention to her case.
After a long 51 the battle was won. Dr. Kelly 52 the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was 53 that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her 54 . She read thesewords…
“Paid in full with a glass of milk.”
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly

Last night, when I was driving back home, I noticed a hitchhiker(搭便车的人) who was having no luck getting a ride. I rolled down my 36 and signed to the man to my car. I asked him where he was 37 and he told me he needed a 38 to his doctor’s office which would close in 15 minutes. I told him to 39 and he gratefully did so.
40 he got in he told me that he was a 41 and went out to sea for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and 42 to get another prescription(处方) before he left on the boat. He said that he had prayed (祈祷) 43 would stop for him so he could be there before the 44 office closed. With some 45 driving we managed to make it there in about 10 46. I then asked him how he 47 on getting back home and he said he could walk. “I’ll patiently 48 for you and bring you back,” I told him. He 49 me and said he should only be about 15 minutes.
Afterwards he got back in my 50 and tried his hardest to pay me back: offering me dinner, gas money, even offering to ship me 40 lbs of scallops (海扇贝)! I 51 refused, gave him a smile card and asked him to help someone else the next time he had a 52. I drove him back to where I had picked him up and 53 one more “thank you” he was on his way.
