When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations.”
On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt?s only relation. His future was safe.
After a few months had passed, Hilary?s problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible.
Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear conclusion. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.
One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.
“Thank you,” his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. “I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? Don?t blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn?t marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me. Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, you will get nothing. No, Hilary, don?t try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I don?t want to know. Good night, Hilary.
Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank. 33. From the story, we learn that Hilary?s aunt was ______. A. bad-tempered and lonely B. kind-hearted and wise C. careless about money D. Cruel to her niece
34. The underlined sentence “He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.” In paragraph 11 suggests that Hilary Smith ______. A. was determined to put his aunt?s life to an end B. decide to do his aunt a favor to call in a lawyer C. made up his mind to take good care of his aunt
D. would help his aunt to donate all her money to religious people 35. Which of the following is the focus of the story? A. Hilary?s aunt?s money B. Hilary Smith?s debts C. The intended murder D. Hilary?s aunt?s marriage
