  Money is a blessing when it is used correctly.  1   is true of all other good things.They bless if used   2  ;they surse(诅咒)when misused.Many people do not seem to know   3   money is for.They want it above all other things.But they want to spend it chiefly on   4  

  Some boys and girls appear to   5   that money is used to buy good clothes,foods,toys and amusements.Some also seem to think that money is used to buy leisure(空闲).They   6   that the greatest happiness is to   7   without work.But that is not at all what money is for.We should get nearer to the   8   than that.

  Money is our circulating medium(流通手段)in trade.Families need it to buy things they must   9  .In this way society   10  ,and the world of traffic prospers(繁荣).Money means food,clothing,housing,schools,books,wise amuse ment,and the   11   of doing good.

  Of course money is not something to store.Its value   12   its use.A million gold dollars would have been   13   no more than a million stones   14   Robinson Crusoe on his island home.There was nothing to buy,and   15  ,no use for money.And so money that is   16   stored is of no value.It is not used to buy the necessaries of life,  17   help those who are in need.That is not what money is for.

  The Bible(《圣经》)  18   that“the love of money is the   19   of all evil”,That is,money sought only for its own sake(缘故)is the cause of all sorts of evillying,stealing,cheating,robbery,and   20   murder.This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money.

  It was an early September day,cool and bright and just right for running,and I was in the first few miles of a 10 mile race over a course with a few high hills,  1  ,I felt energetic;despite the hills,it going to be a   2   run.

  Just ahead of me was Peggy,a teacher from Mount Kisco.She was too running   3  ,moving along at my speed.The pace felt comfortable,so I decided to   4   where I was.Why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a good one?I'd overtake her   5   when she was tired.

  So I ran behind her,The course   6   north for five miles,wandered west for a hilly mile,then turned south again along a winding road.The race was getting   7  .We had four miles   8   and already it was beginning to be real work.

  Peggy overtook a young runner.She seemed to   9   him,for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him.Their exchange   10   me.

You don't chat during a race   11   you are feeling good and Peggy plainly was.

  Sill,I was   12   enough to overtake her if she was tired,so I didn't give up hope completely.We were getting nearer to a tong,punishing hill now and it would be the   13  .We were a mile from tile finish line,  14   whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.

  As I moved up the hill,my   15   wandered for a few minutes.When I   16  ,Peggy was moving away— first five yards,then ten,then more.Finally it was clear that there was no   17   of catching her.She beat me soundly.

  There is an important   18   in that race,Women are thought to be weaker,slower and not nearly   19   skilled in sport.Yet as Peggy so clearly showed,the similarities between men and women runners are more important than the differences.I have run with   20   women,and I can say that it is often hard work.
