A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had   16      a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well   17  it, he told him that was all he wanted.  

On the morning of his graduation day his father called him into his own study and told him how   18  he was to have such a fine son. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.   19  but slightly disappointed（失望）, the young man opened the box and found a lovely book.   20 , he raised his voice at his father and said, “With all your money you give me a book?” and rushed out of the house,   21  the book in the study. 

He did not contact his father for a whole year until one day he saw in the street an old man who looked like his father. He   22  he had to go back home and see his father.  

When he arrived at his father’s house, he was told that his father had been in hospital for a week. The moment he was about to leave for the hospital, he saw on the desk the   23  new book , just as he had left it one year ago. He opened it and began to turn the pages. Suddenly, a car key   24      from an envelope（信封）in the book. It had a tag（标签）with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car. On the tag was the   25  of his graduation, and the words “ PAID IN FULL”. 

A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had   16   to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well   17   it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted. Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how   18   he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.   19  , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his  20   to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

     Many years passed and the young man was very   21  in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.  22   that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him   23  that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a phone telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take care 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,   24    as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the    25    of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.
