About a year ago, I stayed at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any evidence that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. So we did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an witness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to ask for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I said it was not true. The lawyer said to him, “I saw this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar

bill. If you don’t return it immediately, I’ll be forced to call the police.” The clerk realized he had been cheated, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“I don’t know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” I said to the lawyer. And what do you suppose he answered? He said, “Oh, don’t thank me. That will be a hundred dollars, please.”

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him.
Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No”. Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren’t any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted. Paul later got married but his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable(可实现的) good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.
And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.
Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees, grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow (誓言) he made to himself as a child. 60. When Paul was a boy, ________ .
A. he had decided never to leave his hometown B. the economy of Utah depended on the copper smelter C. he stopped the copper smelter polluting the area
D. he hit a visitor because of his comments on the wasteland
61. Paul went to college to study the science of plants, because ________ . A. he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself B. he thought his knowledge would make his advice more convincing C. he was interested in planting trees since he was young
