Many years ago，when I was a young man in my twenties，I worked as a salesman for a St.Louis piano company.Every time we would advertise in Southeast Missouri，we would receive a reply on a postcard which said， "Please bring me a new piano for my little granddaughter.I can pay ＄10 a month with my egg money." The old lady scrawled on and on and on that postcard until she filled it up.＄
Of course，we could not sell a new piano for 10 a month.No finance company would carry a contract with payments that small，so we ignored her postcards.
One day，however，I happened to be in that area calling on other replies，and out of curiosity I decided to look the old lady up：The old lady lived in a small and dirty house in the middle of a cotton field.There were chickens in the house.Obviously，the old lady could not have qualified to purchase anything on credit.Her little granddaughter was about 10，barefoot.I explained to the old lady that we could not sell a new piano for ＄10 a month.However，she still sent us the same postcard every six weeks.＄
A couple of years later，I owned my own piano company，and when I advertised in that area，the postcards started coming to me.For months，I ignored them.
But then，one day，despite knowing that I was about to make a terrible business decision，I delivered the piano to the old lady and told her I would carry the contract myself at 10 a month with no interest，and that would mean 52 payments.I took the new piano in the house and placed it where I thought the roof would be least likely to rain on jye.ai.It old her and the little girl to try to keep the chickens off of it，and I left — sure I had just thrown away a new piano.
But the payments came in，all 52 of them as agreed — sometimes with coins taped to a 3×5 inch card in the envelope.It was incredible!
So，I put the incident out of my mind for 20 years.

【答案】Paragraph 1：Then one day，as I was sitting at the bar having an after-dinner drink，I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me.Looking around，I saw a lovely young woman playing a very nice grand piano.Stunned by her great performance，I moved to a table beside her.She stopped and smiled at me politely， "Aren't you the man who sent my grandma a piano a long time ago？" It didn't ring a bell，so she started to explain.And I suddenly remembered.My goodness，it was her，the little barefoot girl.I wanted to know more about the girl.

"Happy New Year，papa!"The sitting-room doors were thrown open，and a sweet little girl flashed in.Smiles played around her cherry lips，and her eyes were dancing with sunny light.

Little Ellen laid her head against her father's breast.To her it was a Happy New Year's morning，but it was not so with Mr.Edgar，a successful businessman.He was tired of the plot in the business world.He was not happy at all! "For years，"he said to himself，"I have been pursuing the means of happiness，yet happiness itself seems to be still farther in the distance.""Why am I not happy？"But the answer was not given.
After breakfast，Mr.Edgar left home and went to his company.On his way，he noticed a lovely child around the same age as his daughter playing in the yard.Her beauty，which had in it something of innocence （天真），impressed him so deeply that he turned to gain a second look.With the girl was a father and he happened to be Abraham James，who owed（欠） money to Mr.Edgar from their business dealings.Abraham couldn't meet his responsibilities to Mr.Edgar，and as a result，Mr.Edgar said some unkind words.Mr.Edgar had an appointment with a lawyer（律师） today，preparing to charge him and ask for money he was owed.While the money wasn't a significant amount for Mr.Edgar，it meant a lot to Abraham James，who planned to sell his house to come up with the money.
As Mr.Edgar continued on his way，he couldn't forget the cheerful face of the child.Suddenly，he remembered his own daughter's smiling face and sweet morning greeting.He thought，"She must also wish her Daddy a happy New Year.If her Dad isn't happy，will she still wear that innocent smile on her face？"He seemed to have found the way to be happy.
