Ⅰ.[2019·怀柔二模] 完形填空
I worked for a short time as a cashier at a restaurant a few weeks ago. I also helped clear off the tables when it was busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a 1 on the floor near one of the tables. I thought I should have 2 it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at that time. Also I imagined that if the wallet contained anything 3 , the owner should be back.
Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him what the lost wallet looked like, and after he described it 4 , I gave the wallet to him. He expressed his true thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”, he immediately opened it and 5 that it contained nearly $800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me. I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your 6 , young girl,” he said and then turned away.
Thinking about it later, I began 7 whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might 8 it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything I could buy.

The Good Son
Once there was a jeweller, who was known as a good man. People always bought jewelries from him.
One day, a rich man and his wife came to buy some diamonds(钻石) which would be put on a special dress for their mother. She would wear it for her eightieth-birthday party.
The couple told the jeweller what they wanted, and offered him an honest price. He replied that he could not let them see the jewels at that moment, and asked them to come back later. However, they wanted the diamonds without delay(耽搁). They also thought that the jeweller might be trying to get more money for the diamonds. So they offered him double, then three times, what the diamonds were worth. But he still refused to give them the diamonds. They went away, very angry.
Some hours after, the jeweller went to them and gave them the diamonds. They offered him the last price for the diamonds, which was three times what the diamonds were worth. But the jeweller said, “I will only accept the first price that you offered this morning.”
“Why, then, did you not sell us the diamonds right away?” they asked in surprise. He replied, “My father had the key to the box where the diamonds were kept. He was asleep, and I did not want to wake him. He is old and every hour of sleep does him good. For all the gold in the world, I would not disrespect my father or cause him discomfort.”
The couple were deeply moved by the man’s words, so the husband said to him, “You are so kind! Thanks for the lesson you taught us—honour your father and your mother. One day your own children will give you the same respect and love that you have shown.”
