1. Why did Tony take home the discarded odds and ends?Tony bought a house, which was a complete
wreck. To fix and decorate it, and, above all, to save money, he took home the discarded odds and ends. 2. Translate the sentence into Chinese.从那以后，只要我家附近有什么被人扔弃的零星杂物，坏了的屏风啦，五金器具啦，包装纸板啦，托尼都要收起来拿回家，看他这个样子真是有意思。
From then on, it was interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around our place — a broken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing — Tony would gather and take home.

2. Describe the change of Tony’s social status in Mr. Crawford’s mind.When Mr. Crawford first met Tony, Tony was
“about five-foot-seven or eight, and thin”, and his English was broken. He remained standing when he talked to Mr. Crawford. He did not have high social status. After he bought his farm several years later, he “seemed to stand a little straighter”, and he “had a look of confidence”. He and Mr. Crawford “sat down and talked”. His social status improved enough to allow him to sit down with Mr. Crawford. After he passed away, Mr. Crawford thought “he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialists.”

1. What do balance sheets refer to? And what does decimal point refer to?
Balance sheets are used to show whether a person or a company is financially successful. Here they are used to judge a person’s life achievements. If the decimal point is moved, a number will become either smaller or bigger. Here it shows the difference in the amount of money Tony and the greatest industrialists had made.
But, after all, the balance sheets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.
