Franklin’s life is full of charming       (story) which all young men should know—how he sold books in Boston, and became the guest of kings in Europe; how he was made Major General Franklin, only       (quit) because, as he said, he was no soldier.
This poor Boston boy,      a day’s schooling, became master of six languages and never stopped studying; this hard-working boy conquered the lightning, made his name famous, received degrees and diplomas (学位证书) from many colleges,       became forever       (remember) as “Doctor Franklin”, philosopher, scientist and political leader. Self-made, self-taught, the candle maker’s son gave light to all the world;        street bookseller set all men singing of liberty.
He built America, for what the nation is today is         (large) due to the management, the forethought, the         (wise), and the ability of Benjamin Franklin. He belongs to the world, but especially he belongs to America. The people around the world        (honor) him while he was living; he is still regarded       the loftiest man by the common people today after his death. And he will live in people's hearts forever.
