At first I thought it was 　　　2 　that I could have 　　　3 　it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to 　　　4 　the taxi, so I knew I 　　　5 　it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered 　　　6 　it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was 　　　7 　dinner. Thinking about that 　　　8 　, I turned and walked back to the table 　　　9 　I had been sitting.　　 　　　10 　, there were several people sitting at the table at the time, so I called the 　　　11 　and explained to him that my wallet had 　　　12 　out of my pocket while I was sitting at that table a few minutes 　　　13 　. I had the waiter go 　　　14 　to the table to 　　　15 　if my wallet was on the 　　　16 　. While the waiter was looking 　　　17 　it, the manager of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anything was 　　　18 　. I didn't want to get a lot of people involved (卷入) in the 　　　19 　, but I knew I had to get the wallet 　　　20 　. I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe (描述) the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I should report the 　　　21 　wallet to the police. I told him that I didn't want to get the police involved in it; 　　　22 　, I was in a hurry 　　　23 　I had an appointment (约会) with my doctor in a few hours. I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay my check. He told me not to 　　　24 　about that. He had me write down my name and 　　　25 　, and he said he would send me a bill.

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the 21of the young man.

The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. 22 from the day before, he took out a large piece of　 23and laid it on the ground. Then he began 24

Before long, the young violinist was　 25with people, who were all attracted by the 　26 on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat 27. Please come to claim(认领) it soon."

After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and 28hrough the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would 　29 come here."

"Are you Mr. George Sang?"

The man nodded.

"Did you 　30something?"

"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.

The violinist　 31 a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.

George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and 　32 it; then he danced with joy.

George bought a lottery ticket which 　33 him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat. 34 the lottery ticket was also thrown in.2

When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket　 35 himself, the violinist said," 36 I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."

We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should 　37 be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we 38succeed temporarily (暂时). However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser. Such a person is just like the 　39on the mountain. It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the 40 of going up.

　　Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper and had a meal I’d never had before!

All the friends 　26 were a little surprised. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, 　27 it’s just that he never spends more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought anything 　28 for his friends? He greeted us at the 　29 and showed us into his dining-room 　30 a laid table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the best for my friends!” said Ben. We all felt 　31 . What was he up to?

　　　 Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a 　32 of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes,” said Ben. The next course was also a little 　33 in that（因为）we didn’t quite know what it was again. “It’s just another mixture of vegetables.”

　　　 34 we ate, we chatted and finally the 　35 turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe（食谱） for this,” asked Mary, “or did you make it up?” Ben put his 　36 down. What I cooked depended on what I could find.” Mary was 　 37 . “But you can find anything in the supermarkets these days.” “But there is less choice in what you can find 　38 the supermarkets,” he replied.

　　　 39 that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the 　40 . He had read recently that supermarkets usually 　41 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 　42 , boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.

　　　 So Ben had successfully provided a 　43 for his friends, and made us 　44 the fact that there are many people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 　45 millions of people.
