I still remember the day I was driving to the supermarket I own. When I came out, I found a boy cleaning my car with a brush. I went over and patted (拍) him _________ the shoulder, which surprised him very much. In no time he began to smile at me, so I was sure he _________ some money. From the shoes he was wearing I could hardly imagine how _________ he was. So I offered him a $100 bill. To my great surprise, he _________ to take it. When I was wondering what he was doing, he said, “I was waiting here for 4 hours, waiting for you. Your car is so beautiful and I like it, but I don’t need that.” I knew he was mentioning the _________.
As he had refused the money, I offered to drive him around the town. The boy became so _________ that he got into the car at once, “Would you please drive me home? It is only about 3 miles.” What the boy wanted to do was to show off to his friends and his family.
As soon as I stopped, he jumped out and ran into an old building, telling me to wait there for some time. Very soon he came out, saying to a little girl on his back, “Look at this beautiful car. I will buy you _________ some day.”
I noticed his sister had a pale face. What’s worse, her legs were too thin, and she was unable to _________.
After that day I went to his home several times. And I got to know more about him and his family. Poor as they were, the boy once again refused my money, and said, “I can _________ money by myself, thank you.” Soon I told my manager of the supermarket that a boy would go to work here the next day. No matter how poor we are, we would __________ give in (屈服) to ourselves.
