問題詳情：

Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The Boss was a   41  man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second   42  .

“Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to  43  that department. It’s finished. I’ m sorry,   44  you’ll have to go.” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time.  45  ,I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”

“What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an   

  46  school for a man with your salary.”

“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman (田徑運動員) and the best

  47   in the school. The boys call him Champ (冠*) there.”

The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time- a   48   look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We have got to close your  49  , Watson. But you will  50  a new job in another department. It means longer hours-maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here   51  life.”

Watson got out, with   52   in his face. Then the Boss took a   53  from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter  54   :

I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same   55   when you’re a cripple (跛腳的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They have got a good   

  56  department here. And there’s one boy here who is really  57  . He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books

  58  . And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I   59   had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something   60  —that he won’t even know about.
