He held up a 20-dollar bill. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?” Hands were raised. Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to crumple（弄皱）the __1__. He then asked the audience, “Anybody still wants it?” Still the hands went up in the __2__. “What if I do this?” He asked, and he __3__ it on the ground, and started to step on it. He __4__ it up. Now the bill was __5__ and crumpled. “Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up. “My friends,” he continued, “You have all learned a good lesson. No matter what I did to the __6__, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its __7__. It was still worth $20. Many times in our __8__, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes __9__ wrong decisions, or we may __10__ with something we do not __11__. When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are__12__. But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. The worth of our life comes not in what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don’t forget ‘the worth of a thing does not __13__ its outside __14__, but on its inner value.’ This is the __15__ of life.” 1. A. bill B. ground C. paper D. finger 2.
