I went at once to _36_ where they sold toys for children. Being charmed with the sound of a whistle，I _37_ all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much_38_ with my whistle,. My brothers and sisters said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, They _39_ at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation(烦恼). Thinking about the matter gave me more_40_ than the whistle gave me pleasure. This, however, when I was tempted to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Dont give too much for the whistle, ”and I_41_my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and observed the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.” If I knew a miser（守财奴） who _42_ comfortable living, for the sake of gathering and keeping wealth- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but merely _43_ himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing pain _44_ pleasure for yourself; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of appearance who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his fortune, and for which he had run into debt, and _45_ his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” In short the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a false value on things - to giving “too much for their whistle.”36. A. a shop B.a school C.a cinema D.a museum37. A. dealt with B.went over C.took up D.handed over38. A. guilty B.patient
