Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving it for. If you are saving money to 51 a CD or to go to a concert, then 52 you would keep it somewhere in your room.

If you are saving money for something more 53, like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save it？

One place to save money is the 54. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money 55 more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank, in a year you’ ll 56 have the same amount of money you put in. However, if you put your money in a savings account, in a year, you’ll have more money than you put in. Why？

When you 57 your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you for using your money. The bank uses your money to 58 money to people and businesses.

The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank 59 tells you how much money you have in your account. It 60 tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow!

In ten minutes I had seen all that could be seen in the fish, and started to look for the professor—who had, however, left. Half an hour 6l—an hour—another hour; the fish began to look disgusting. I turned it 62 and around; looked it in the face—ghastly; from behind, beneath, above, sideways—just 63 ghastly. I 64 not use a magnifying glass, 65 instruments of any kind. Just my two hands, my two eyes, and the fish: it seemed a most limited 66 of study. With a feeling of desperation again I looked at that fish. I pushed my finger down its throat to feel how 67 the teeth were. I began to count the 68 in the different rows, until I was convinced that was nonsense. At last a happy thought struck me—I would 69 the fish; and now with surprise I began to 70 new features in the creature.

and punished me; not two or three times in the week, nor once or twice in the day, but continually: every nerve I had feared him, and every morsel of flesh in my bones shrank when he came near. There were moments when I was bewildered by the terror he inspired, because I had no appeal whatever against either his menaces or his inflictions; the servants did not like to offend their young master by taking my part against him, and Mrs. Reed was blind and deaf on the subject: she never saw him strike or heard him abuse me, though he did both now and then in her very presence, more frequently, however, behind her back.

Habitually obedient to John, I came up to his chair: he spent some three minutes in thrusting out his tongue at me as far as he could without damaging the roots: I knew be would soon strike, and while dreading the blow, I mused on the disgusting and ugly appearance of him who would presently deal it. I wonder if he read that notion in my face; for, all at once, without speaking, he struck suddenly and strongly. I tottered, and on regaining my equilibrium retired back a step or two from his chair.

"That is for your impudence in answering mama awhile since," said he, "and for your sneaking way of getting behind curtains, and for the look you had in your eyes two minutes since, you rat!"

Accustomed to John Reed's abuse, I never had un idea of replying to it; my care was how to endure the blow which would certainly follow the insult.

"What were you doing behind the curtain？" he asked.

"I was reading."

"Show the book."

I returned to the window and fetched it thence.

"You have no business to take our books; you are a dependent, mama says; you have no money; your father left you none; you ought to beg, and not to live here with gentlemen's children like us, and eat the same meals we do, and wear clothes at our mama's expense. Now, I'll teach you to rummage my bookshelves: for they are mine; all the house belongs to me, or will do in a few years. Go and stand by the door, out of the way of the mirror and the windows."

I did so, not at first aware what was his intention; but when I saw him lift and poise the book and stand in act to hurl it, I instinctively started aside with a cry of alarm: not soon enough, however; the volume was flung, it hit me, and I fell, striking my head against the door and cutting it. The cut bled, the pain was sharp: my terror had passed its climax; other feelings succeeded.

"Wicked and cruel boy!" I said. "You are like a murderer--yon are like a slave-driver--yon are like the Roman emperors" I had read Goldsmith's History of Rome, and had formed my opinion of Nero, Caligula, etc. Also I had drawn parallels in silence, which I never thought thus to have declared aloud.

"What] what]" he cried. "Did she say that to me？ Did you hear her, Eliza and Georgiana？ Won't I tell mama？ but first--"

He ran headlong at me: I felt him grasp my hair and my shoulder: he had closed with a desperate thing. I really saw hi him a tyrant, a murderer. I felt a drop or two of blood from my head trickle down my neck, and was sensible of somewhat pungent suffering: these sensations for the time predominated over fear, and I received him in frantic sort. I don't very well know what I did with my hands, but he called me "Rat! Rat!" and bellowed out aloud. Aid was near him: Eliza and Georgiana had run for Mrs. Reed, who was gone upstairs: she now came upon the scene, followed by Bessie and her maid Abbot. We were parted: I heard the words--

"Dear! Dear! What a fury to fly at Master John!"

"Did ever anybody see such a picture of passion!"

Then Mrs. Reed subjoined--

"Take her away to the red-room, and lock her in there." Four hands were immediately laid upon me, and I was

B．Because Mrs. Reed takes part with John.

C．Because Mrs. Reed was not there when John abused me.

Experts on the 107 of dying say that terminal patients go 108 stages after hearing their death 109 : denial, anger and, finally, acceptance. I skipped right to acceptance. 110 years of struggling with liver disease which had destroyed my body and confused my 111 , I still had anxiety about dying. 112 it just wasn't my style. to "rage 113 the dying of the light." I preferred to accept it with 114 , the way the heroes of my childhood 115 in books and movies. However, I never imagined that within five weeks a team of surgeons would 116 my diseased liver and 117 it with an organ that only hours before had kept 118 a healthy person whose name I'll never know.
