Milk That Paid a Medical Bill
One day,a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through
school found he had only one thin dime(10分钱)left,and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.However,he lost his nerve
when a lovely young woman opened the door.Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of
water.She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it
slowly,and then asked,"How much do I owe you?""You don't owe me anything,"she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."He said, "Then I
thank you from my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house,he not only felt stronger physically,but his faith in
God and man was strong also.He had been ready to give up and quit.
Years later that young woman became critically ill.The local doctors were baffled(感
到困惑).They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her
rare disease.Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.When he heard the name
of the town she came from,a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went
down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see
her. He recognized her at once.He went back to the consultation room determined to do
his best to save her life.From that day he gave special attention to the case.After a long
struggle,the battle was won.
Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.He
looked at it;then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She
feared to open it,for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.Finally
she looked,and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.She read these
words:"Paid in full with one glass of milk."Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy
heart prayed:"Thank You,God,that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts
and hands."
Among other things,the story shows that
A.good will be rewarded with good.
B.it is okay to accept pay for a kindness.
C.it is wise neither to borrow nor to lend.
D.where there's a will there's a way.

Archive Gallery: The Best of Bionics(仿生学)
Humans might be the most highly-evolved species on the planet,but most animals possess skills we can
only dream of having.Imagine how much electricity we could save if we could see in the dark the way cats
do. Imagine leaping from tree to tree like a monkey.Giraffes(长颈鹿),which are otherwise calm and good-
natured,sleep only 4.6 hours a day.
We realized a long,long time ago that nature provides the best blueprint(蓝图)for invention.We've
borrowed canals from beavers(河狸)and reflectors from cat's eyes.Although the words "bionics" became
popular only after the 1960s,history shows that nature has always provided ideas on solving everyday prob-
lems. Our archives(档案)don't go back to the time of Leonardo da Vinci and his bird-like flying machines,
but we can take you to the late 19th century,where we applied those same principles for building our first
practical airplanes.
To prepare for their flight at Kitty Hawk,the Wright brothers studied the movements of pigeons to figure
out how they stayed high up when they were heavier than air. Their success inspired scores of successors to
improve on the airplane by studying various aspects of nature,One of Orville Wright’、pupils caught and
stuffed seagulls to examine their wingspan.Meanwhile,two French inventors examined spinning sycamore(美
国梧桐)seeds in an effort to apply those same motions,reversed,to a helicopter.
Some examples are more obvious than others.The outside of the airplane designed by the Wright
brothers looks like a minimalistic(简单抽象艺术)structure. On the other hand , Barney Connett ' s fish
submarine(潜水艇)actually looks like a fish.
Some bio-inspired concepts have yet to be invented.In the 1960s,the US Army commissioned several
university professors to conduct research on the motor skills of animals in hope of applying those same abili-
ties to tanks. Tanks that run like horses or jump like grasshoppers(蚂昨)一sounds shocking,doesn't it?
But imagine how life would change if we could achieve that.
What happened after the Wright brothers' success?
A.People carried out a systematic study on pigeons.
B.People could fly their airplanes for fun.
C.People kept their airplanes at a French gallery.
D.People studied more animals and plants to develop the airplane.
