1 . Millionaire Peter became blind because of an illness. The doctor told him that only by having a cornea transplant surgery (眼角膜移植手术) could he _______ his sight. Peter offered a large amount of money for the cornea, but he didn’t get any _______.

Because Peter was too proud of his _______ and had done many unkind things, he had a bad reputation. So as soon as donors (捐赠者) heard his name, all of them   _______.

At first Peter got _______ easily because of his wealth, but later, he had nothing to do but wait quietly.

One day, Peter _______ his way to the little square before the hospital. He raised his head to enjoy the sunshine. However, he saw nothing but darkness. Just then, someone _______ him all of a sudden. Peter became annoyed, so he cried, “Don’t you have _______? Don’t you see who you hit? I’m millionaire Peter!”

The answer was from a _______, “Sorry, sir. Please forgive me!” Peter then said. “I can forgive you but you must chat with me!” The boy said yes. Peter nodded happily and his face ________ with a smile. Peter asked, “Is the scene here beautiful?” The boy began describing it, “How beautiful! The green grass, the blue sky, and the beautiful flowers everywhere...”

Peter began to ________ that boy as he was listening. ________ he became impatient, shouting toward the sky. “Oh, my God, the little boy is so poor, he has nothing but a pair of eyes! Why do you give him light?”

At this moment, a lady ________ Peter, “You are wrong! My son is too poor to have eyes. What he just said is what I told him!” ________ , Peter sat on the square, tears running down his face.

Since then, the city charity would ________ a large amount of money every year. The donor was the very millionaire named Peter.
