题目

 Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband’s employer’s home. My friend, Arlene, was nervous, because the boss was very  1 , with a fine home, and cars that  2  more than her house. The boss was a generous  3   , and took them to the  4  restaurants. Arlene knew she would  5  have the opportunity to go to such places again, so she was  6  herself greatly. They were about to  7  a good restaurant that evening when the boss stopped suddenly, looking   8  at the road. Arlene wondered if she was supposed to  9  him. There was nothing on the  10  except a penny. The boss reached down and  11  the penny. He smiled, and then put it in his  12  as if he had found a great treasure. Why would a man like this pick up a single  13  ? Why would he even take the time to  14  ? When they were in the restaurant she could  15  it no longer. She mentioned that her daughter had once had a coin  16 , and asked if the penny had some value. A 17   crossed the man’s face as he took the penny out of his pocket. "Look at it," he said, "'In God We Trust’." "In America, for those who trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. 18  I find a coin I see those words. They can be  19  on every single American coin, but people never seem to  20  them! For a short time, at least, I cherish (珍惜) each one as if it were gold." 1.
