A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had    36   to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well    37   it, so he  told him that a sports car was all he wanted.

　　Then on the morning of his graduation（畢業(yè)）,he was called to his father's room. His father told him how    38   he was to have such a fine son, and told him how   39   he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.   40  , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣經）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his   41   to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible? " He then   42   out of the house, leaving the Bible.

　　Many years passed and the young man was very    43   in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.    44   that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him    45   that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a    46   telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take   47   of the things that his father left him.

　　When he began to search through his father's important　papers, he saw the still new Bible,     48   as he had left　it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to   49    the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（標牌）dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the   50   of his graduation, and the words "PAID IN FULL". Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.

The boss told Jason that he would ask Harry the  38  question. Harry went, returned and said, "Boss, only one person selling watermelons. $12 per kg, $ 100 for 10 kg. He has a total of 340 melons.
