At the various times when I have helped you a little, you have said to me, "We can get along very well again," but in a very short time I find you in the same difficulty again. Now this can only happen by some fault in your behavior. What that fault is, I think I know. You are not lazy, and still you are an idler . I doubt whether since I saw you, you have done a good whole day's work, in any other day. You do not very much dislike to work, and still you do not work much, merely because it does not seem to you that you could get much for it. This habit of uselessly wasting time is the whole difficulty; it is vastly important to you, and still more so to your children, that you should break this habit. It is more important to them, because they have longer to live, and can keep out of an idle habit before they are in it, easier than they can get out after they are in. You are now in need of some ready money; and what I suggest is, that you shall go to work hard, for somebody who will give you money for it. Let father and your boys take charge of your things at home-prepare for a crop, and make the crop, and you go to work for the best money wages, or to pay back any debt you owe. And to secure you a fair reward for your labor, I now promise you that for every dollar you will, between this and the first of May, get for your own labor, I will then give you one other dollar. By this, if you hire yourself at ten dollars a month, from me you will get ten more, making twenty dollars a month for your work. Now if you will do this, you will soon be out of debt, and what is better, you will have a habit that will keep you from getting in debt again. But if I should now clear you out, next year you will be just as deep in as ever. You say you would almost give your place in Heaven for $ 70 or $80. Then you value your place in Heaven cheaply, for I am sure you can with the offer I make you get the seventy or eighty... Question: If Johnston got one dollar for his work, Lincoln promised to _ . Options: A: reward him with labor B: pay off his debt C: hire him at 10 dollars a month D: give him another dollar

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Twenty years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance.I have forgotten the name of an old lady,who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy.Yet it exists in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget. On a winter afternoon.a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of a house for fun.I was brave enough to find a big rock and threw it out.Unfortunately,the rock was so heavy that it didn't fly onto the roof but into the room through the window.At the sound of crashed glass,we knew we were in trouble and ran away. I was so scared about being caught that I didn't go to deliver newspapers to the old lady for a few days.The next week,when I gave her the paper again,she still greeted me with a big smile as usual.I felt so guilty,however,so I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money to cover the cost of her window.I made it.Three weeks later,I saved seven dollars and put them in an envelope with a note explaining that 1 was sorry for breaking her window and that I hoped the money could repair it.I waited until it was dark,and put the envelope in her door secretly. The next day,I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her.She thanked me and gave me a bag of delicious cookies she had made herself. Reaching for the cookies,I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag.When I opened the envelope,I was surprised.Inside were the seven dollars and a short note saying,"I am proud of you." Question: Which of the following might be the best title of the article? Options: A: Delicious Cookies B: A Broken Window C: The Secret in the Cookies D: A Painful Lesson
