A This story happened during World War Ⅱ. It was a fierce battle. Many soldiers had lost their lives. Horror gripped Jim’s heart because he saw that his lifelong friend was left behind in a trench . Continuous gunfire whizzed over his head. Jim asked the lieutenant if he might go out into the “no-man’s-land between the trenches to bring his fallen friend back. “You can go, said the lieutenant, “but I don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away. Jim looked up. Continuous gunfire was still whizzing over his head, but he had made up his mind. He went out of the trench and moved towards his fallen friend slowly. Amazingly, he managed to reach his friend, put him onto his shoulders and bring him back to their company’s trench. As the two got to the bottom of the trench, the lieutenant checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at Jim. “I told you it wouldn’t be worth it, he said. “Your friend is dead and you got shot. You may die, too. “It was worth it, though, Sir, said Jim. The lieutenant was confused and asked, “What do you mean? Your friend is dead. “Yes, Sir, Jim answered, “but it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him saying, `Jim-, I knew you’d come.’ How many times have you given up doing something just because someone tells you it is not worth it? If you don’t try it, how do you know it is not worth it? 1. After Jim saw his friend was left behind, he decided to .

A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, and remained regaling his nose with the smell of the victuals．The master of the shop told him several times to go away, but the sweeper could not leave savory smell, though unable to purchase the taste of the food．At last the cook came out of the shop, and taking hold of the sweeper, declared that, as he had been feeding upon the smell of his victuals (food and drink), he should not go away without paying half the price of a dinner．The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay, and that he would ask the first person who should pass, whether it was not an unreasonable and unjust demand．

The case was referred to a policeman, who happened to pass at that moment．He said to the sweeper: “As you have been feasting one of your senses with the odor (smell) of this man’s meat, it is but just you should make him some recompense; therefore you shall, in your turn, regale (amuse) one of his senses, which seems to be more insatiable than your appetite．How much money have you?”

“I have but two pence in all the world, sir, and I must buy me some bread．”

“Never mind,” answered the officer, “take your two pence between your hands; now rattle (cause to make a lot of quick little noises)them loudly．”

The sweeper did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, “Now, sir, I think he has paid you: the smell of your victuals regaled his nostrils(openings at the end of the nose); the sound of his money has tickled your ears．”

This decision gave more satisfaction to the bystanders than to the cook, but it was the only payment he could obtain．
