One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg 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 me never to accept pay for a kindness. "He said," Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart. "As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous 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 through the hospital hall into 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 and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her 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 and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive 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."
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly

The young man asked, "How, Mr. Addison, can you invent so many things and achieve your fame？"
The scientist said, "It seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day."
The young man nodded, "Yes. I have been dreaming of being a person as notable as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become reputable. I don' t know when I can achieve my fame."
Addison told him, "Don't worry, young man. If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!"

Mr. Jones woke early one morning， before the sun had risen. It was a beautiful morning， _31_ he went to the window and looked out. He was _32_ to see a neatly-dressed and mid-aged professor， who _33_ in the university just up the road from Mr. Jones‘ house， coming the direction of the town. He had grey hair thick glasses， and was _34 an umbrella， a morning newspaper and a bag. Mr. Jones thought that he must have _35_ by the night train _36_ taking a taxi. Mr. Jones had a big tree in his garden， and the children had tied a long _37_ to one of the branches， so that they could swing on it.
Mr. Jones saw the professor _38_ when he saw the rope and looked carefully up and down the road. When he saw that there was _39_ in sight， he stepped into the garden (there was no fence)， put his umbrella， newspaper， bag and hat nearly on the grass and _40_ the rope. He pulled it _41_ to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight， then ran as fast as he could and swung into the _42_ on the end of the rope， his grey hair blowing all around _43_. _44_ he swung， sometimes taking a few more _45_ steps on the grass when the rope began to swing _46_ slowly for him. _47_ the professor stopped， straightened his tie， combed his hair carefully， put on his hat， _48_ his umbrella， newspaper and bag， and continued _49_ his way to the university， looking as _50_ and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.
