One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school(凑足学费)by sending newspapers door to door, was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve(不知所措) 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 (欠)you?”

“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart(心底).” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.

Years later the woman became badly ill and was finally sent to the hospital in a big city. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes(一个奇怪的念头霎时间闪过他的脑际). Dressed in his doctor’s clothes, Dr. Kelly went into her room and recognized her at once (身穿手术服的凯利医生来到病房，一眼就认出了恩人). From that day on, he gave special attention to her, and decided to do his best to save her life. At last the woman was saved. Dr. Kelly asked the business office (营业部) to pass the final bill to him. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words:

“Paid in full with a glass of milk, Dr. Howard Kelly (医药费已付：一杯牛奶, 霍华德·凯利医生).” Tear of joy flooded her eyes.

Besides, I spend my weekends taking classes in math and English, as well as learning to play the piano.
