When I was about seven my parents would go to church every day. They did this for about two years before they 1 decided to only go on Sundays because they were too busy with their work.

Right after we 2 going every day I felt very good about this. One Sunday after a Mass （彌撒） a lady came across to me，gave me a dollar，and said，“What a nice boy you are！”I was very glad，but unfortunately my father 3 the money and told me I could have it later.

I think he tried to forget about it，but I never did and I asked him for it all the time. He said it was money and 4 if I got it I would try to buy things for myself；no boy should only 5 himself. Believe it or not I think he just wanted the money for himself. I used to think about 6 I could buy with the money. Eventually it just became sort of a thing to think about，something that wasnt quite 7 but made for good dreams. I think I would have bought candy，my favorite Snoopy doll or a story book if I had had the money.

Years later，I decided to keep that ladys 8 alive. So when I see kids 9 well in public，I will give them a dollar and tell them to keep it for themselves.

I know that a dollar isnt 10 much these days，but it can help children to feel as 11 as I did. It may sound a little strange when I write this down，but so far Ive never had anyone say anything rude or unfriendly to me when I do so. I enjoy doing so and it gives me a（n） 12 to make other people smile，though some people may think its foolish.

2. A。上文提示。句意：我得知停止每天去以后，我很高興。

3. B。句意：但不幸的是，我爸爸拿走了錢，并且說我以后會有的。可以看出，爸爸并沒有拒絕這1美元。故C錯。
