13、the citys West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(拆除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangero

14、us to go inside the building, The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said.” Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. Its like an art installation(装置) in

15、 there-a slow-motion show.” Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof.

He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesd

He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.“Now Ill never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.Returning to his office the next day, he found

29、a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jacks hands shook as he read the note inside,“Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. Its the thing I

30、 valued most in my life.” A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch.
