i should have lost my place in the factory and have no money to live on. if it were a little less money, i would buy a new coat, or a radio, or give a dinner to my friends. if it were more, i could give up the work and pay for painting pictures. but its too much for one and too little for the other.” “here is the reading of your uncles will（遗嘱）,” said the lawyer, “telling what is to be done with this money after his death. i must ask you to remember one point. your uncle has said you must bring me a paper showing exactly what you did with his money, as soon as you have spent it.” “yes, i see. ill do that,” said the young man.59 hobbs wanted to borrow money to _. a. study abroad b. work abroad c. pay off the debts d. learn to paint pictures60. what does the underlined word “dumbfounded” （in paragraph 2） probably mean?
