3.Passage 1Once an honored man was having a birthday party. His sons and servants were busy welcoming guests. A thief slipped into the house. He hid himself by lying face down on a beam in the ceiling of the hall where the birthday banquet was to be held. From there, the thief could look down upon the guests and see all the gifts of silks, jade, and jewels brought in. He tried to remember where these were put so that he could steal them after the party was over.Later that evening, the host was looking at all his presents happily. He leaned over them with his back turned to the thief hiding on the beam. The thief was looking around the room so that he would be able to move quietly when the lights were off. As the thief hung his head over the beam it made a shadow on the floor.The host did not show that he had seen the shadow. He called for his servant to set a table for one guest with the best food and drink. Turning towards the beam on which the thief lay, he bowed low and said, “Will the gentleman on the roof-beam now come down to have some refreshments?”There was nothing else the thief could do but climb down. His host fed him well. After the thief had eaten his fill, the host gave him a bag of silver coins and begged him to make good use of them. Then the host saw the thief to the door and bid him good night.Ten years passed, and again the honored man held a birthday party. Many visitors came to bring him presents. The man was very old by now and could not greet all theguests. His grandson met the visitors at the door and invited them to dine with his grandfather in the evening. He then took the gifts in for the old man to see.Towards the end of the day a stranger came, bringing gifts of gold and jewels. He would not give his name, but asked to see the honored old man.The stranger was led to the old man’s room. The old man did not know this guest and asked for his name.The stranger smiled, “I am an honest man. I have learned to live a good life. But it was not always so. Do you remember how you once asked me to come down from the roof-beam and eat your food?”The host was amazed. He was even more surprised when he heard how his kindness had changed the thief into an honest man.21. How did the thief get into the house?A. He carefully disguised himself as a guest.B. He followed the servants, carrying dishes.C. He broke into the house through a window.D. He went into the house without being noticed.

    Milk That Paid a Medical Bill

    One day,a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through
    school found he had only one thin dime(10分钱)left,and he was hungry.
    He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.However,he lost his nerve
    when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of
    water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it
    slowly,and then asked,"How much do I owe you?""You don't owe me anything,"she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."He said, "Then I
    thank you from my heart."
    As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but his faith in
    God and man was strong also.He had been ready to give up and quit.
    Years later that young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled(感
    到困惑).They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her
    rare disease.Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name
    of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went
    down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see
    her. He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room determined to do
    his best to save her life.From that day he gave special attention to the case.After a long
    struggle,the battle was won.
    Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He
    looked at it;then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She
    feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.Finally
    she looked,and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She read these
    words:"Paid in full with one glass of milk."Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy
    heart prayed:"Thank You,God,that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts
    and hands."
