In spite of this, he managed to get to the university, but it was so expensive to study there that during the holiday he found it necessary to get two jobs at the same time so as to make enough money to pay for his studies. One summer he managed to get a job in a butcher’s shop(肉店)during the day-time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learnt to cut meat quite nicely, so the butcher often left him to do all the serving while he went to the back room to do the accounts(账目). In the hospital , on the other hand, he was , of course , allowed to do the simplist jobs, like helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both at the butcher’s shop and at the hospital, Tom had to wear white clothes. One evening at the hospital, Tom had to carry a woman from her bed to the place where she was to have an operation. The woman was already feeling frightened at the thought of the operation before he came to get her, but when she saw Tom, that finished her. “No! No!” she cried. “Not my butcher! I won’t be operated on by my butcher!” and fainted away(昏厥). 58. Tom made enough money by ________.

I’m not a bad person; I have just had a hard time learning when to keep my mouth closed. My mom has told me again and again, “Robert, your constant (经常的) bad words are hurting me. If you continue to be rude, you will get into big trouble.” It has been a problem at school several times too, when teachers have told me something that I didn’t want to hear. I used to feel it was my duty to stand up for myself and tell them off. One day in the English class I was working on my homework when I heard a classmate talking behind me. It was Nathaniel, talking to himself as usual. I said ever so nicely, “Nathaniel, would you be quiet?” Nathaniel continued talking to himself. I quickly shouted, “Nathaniel, shut up!” For the next five minutes, we threw hurtful words back and forth at each other. “At least I don’t have an ugly lazy eye like you!” I shouted. I knew it would hurt his feelings and shut him up. What I said filled him with anger. He tried to reach over my seat and grab (抓住) me as he shouted, “That’s it! That’s it!” Surprised at his reaction, I sat back in my seat. Never had I seen Nathaniel act like this before. Later on, we were taken to principal’s office (校长室). There, principal told us to discuss the matter. It was not until then that I finally found that when I hurt someone physically (身体上), the wounds eventually heal (become healthy again). But when I hurt them with my words, sometimes the pain never goes away. At the end of the discussion, I said sorry to Nathaniel. When I headed back to my room, I spent some time praying (祈祷). I began to think about how often what I said hurt others. But I believe that as I keep praying and asking God to help me, he’ll tell me when to keep my mouth closed. 62.
