In a small village，there lived a poor man．He was smart but1,and he never worked. The villagers were so2that they often gave him some useful things. So the man could3with those things.

    One day morning，the man begged(乞讨) from door4door again．He wanted some food．5 ， he got a large bag of flour(面粉)from an old woman．After he went home，he put the flour into a large pot(罐子)and6it near his bed．Then he went to7 ． In his dream，he sold the flour at a very good8 ． With the money，he bought a cow ,and its milk9him more money．He was so happy in his dream that he danced in his sleep．His10hit(碰撞)the pot of flour, and the flour spilt (洒出)all over the floor．The man woke and he felt so sad．

    This thing taught him a lesson：no one can live a good life without working．From then on he worked every day and had a better life．

    When I was eight years old, my mother told me to put my coat on because we were going to go somewhere1. Usually, that meant we were going to see someone important. I would at least get a new toy. I asked which one it would be that day, and she told me that I would get something 2than a toy. She said I would get "access（通道）to a world of toys." I had no real idea what she meant. Did that mean we were buying a toy 3?

    But we did not end up at any toy store. Neither did we finally see anyone we knew.

    4, mother pulled her car into a parking lot in front of a building that looked like something out of the past. It didn't have a modern5at all.

    We took stone steps up to the entrance. Only then I found out what this place was, because there was a sign that 6"Marcy Public Library". We pushed the door open, and my mother led me to the front desk. "I'd like to get my daughter a library card", she told the man7the desk. He asked her to fill out a form. "What kind of books do you like to read?" he asked. I was too shy to 8. I only smiled. "Well, you'll find it out in time," he said. I do not remember9I picked out that day, but I know that in the years that followed I read through books on history, books of poetry, and books about art. The library opened up a world that I 10knew that day.

    So my mother was right. Getting a library card was like getting the access to a world of toys.

   Wonder replied. "I 14 my caddie(球童) to stand in the middle of the fairway(球道) and shout to me. I hear his voice and play towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands, the caddie moves to the green and again I play the ball towards his voice."

    Woods asked, "What' 15 handicap(障碍)?"

    Stevie Wonder said, "Pick a night!"
