It was always thought that Treasure Island was the product of Robert Louis Stevenson ' s imagi natio n. 36 , recent research has found the true story of this excit ing work.
Stevenson, a Scotsman, had lived 37 for many years. In 1881 he returned to Scotla nd for a 38 . With him were his America n wife Fanny and his son 39 .
Each morni ng Steve nson would take them out for a long 40 over the hills. They had bee n 41 this for several days before the weather sudde nly took a turn for the worse. Kept in doors by the heavy rain Lloyd felt the days 42 . To keep the boy happy Robert asked the
boy to do some 43 .
One morni ng, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an isla nd. Robert 44 that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of 45 . “ What' s that ? ” he askeit ' s the
46 ___ treasure, ” said the boy. Robert suddenly 47 something of an adventure story in
the boy ' s 48 . While the rain was pouring, Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He
would make the 49 a twelve-year-old boy just like Lloyd. But who would be the pirate (海
盗)?
Robert had a good friend n amed Henl ey, who walked around with the 50 of a woode n leg. Robert had always wan ted to 51 such a man in a story. 52 Long Joh n Silver the

It was a busy morning , about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital.
I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for all appointment (约会)at 9:30.
The nurse had him take a 36 in the waiting area, 37 him it would be at least 40
minu tes 38 some one would be able to see him. I saw him 39 his watch and decided,
since I was 40 busy—my patie nt did n '1 at the appo in ted hour, I would exam ine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor ' s appointment The gen tlema n said no and told me that he 42 to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his 43 .

him , “ And you 49 go every morning, even though she doesn ' t know who you are? ”
He smiled and said, “ She doesn ' t know me but I know who she is had to hold back ____ 50
as he left.

about how to live through the storm , but how to dance in the rain.

In the store, I asked each of my kids to 45 something they thought our “ friend ” there
would 46 . They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old
suggested giving him a 47 . I thought about it. We were 48 on cash ourselves, but …well, sometimes 49 from our n eed in stead of our abundance is 50 what we n eed to do!
