As we know most of the things in our daily life have to be     1    (买) with money. But money cannot buy many things,     2     (包括) time,       3      (健康) and      4      (友谊).

There are 24 hours in a day.       5     (有时) when we are happy, we wish that the happiness would last longer,  but      6       (无论什么) we do, or how much money we are willing to spend, we can’t make a day last 25 hours. When we feel unhappy, money cannot make the unhappy time pass away more       7      (快).

So we should      8      (认识到) that money is       9       (必需的) in our life. But it’s not the most       10       (重要) thing in our life.

 

A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy,how much money do you make an hour?”

“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,”the little boy replied,with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said,“Daddy,could you lend me $10?”

The father was furious,“If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish,then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish（自私的）!”

The little boy quietly went to his roomand shut the door. After about an hour, the father calmed down, and started to think,“Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.”So he went to the little boy’s room.

“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man,“Here’s $10.”

“Oh, thank you, Daddy!”he said happily. Then,the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy alread had money,he got angry again.

“Why do you want more money since you already have some?”the father shouted angrily.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.”The little boy replied,“Daddy,I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

A woman was collecting money for a church charity. The money she collected was going to be given to poor children who had no parents to take care of them. She went from apartment to apartment and from house to house. She knocked on doors and asked for money. She always said the same thing. “Good morning, I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.” Then she held out a collecting box. Most people put a few coins in the box. An artist lived in one of the apartments. He opened the door. “Good morning.” she said. “I’m collecting for a church charity. Please give generously. We need $5,000.” The artist thought for a moment, then he said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t have any money. However, I’ll give you a painting. It’s worth $ 400.” The woman thanked the artist and took the painting away. A week later she called on him again. “I’m sorry to trouble you again,” she said, “but we still need more money. I need another $ 100. Can you help?” “Of course,” the artist said. “I’ll increase the value of my painting to $ 500.”
