原文:
Everybody have to die someday, but nobody likes to think about it. Even so, at sometime in their lives, most people manage to think about the question of how to make a will. If you have already made yours, it is probably just a few pages of writing, stating that you wish to leave everything to your family. That is the kind of will that the majority of people make. However, there are plenty of ways to make you will more interesting if you want to .To begin with ,you don't have to write it on paper. One man wrote his will on an envelope, another on the door, and a third on an egg. For some people, the most important part of their will is the part that says how they want to be buried. Mrs Sandra West, a rich widow form Texas, decided that she wanted to be buried with her favorite car. In 1973, Mr Green, a dentist from English, left most of his money to the nurse who worked for him if in 5 years she would not wear any kind of make-up or jewel or go out with men. Finally, let's hope that your will is not like that of Dr Wagner, who lived in America 100 years ago. His family, who had not been to see him for years, suddenly began to visit him when he became ill. What was worse, each person suggested Dr Wagner they would like something to remember him by when he died. Greatly annoyed with them. Dr Wagner wrote a will that would do this: To each of his four brothers, he left one of his legs or arms, His nephew got his noses and his two nieces each got an ear. His teeth went to his cousin. Then he set aside 1,000 dollars to pay for cutting his body and the rest of his money he left to the poor.
15. What kind of will do most people leave behind according to the passage?
16. What did the nurse have to do before getting the money left by the English dentist?
17. Why did Dr Wagner make an unusual will?
