To a watching world, Mike and Mary Murray were a perfect couple. They had been high school sweethearts, and    1    to have a happy marriage. Mike had a good job, and Mary was able to    2    home with their children. They owned their home and    3    kids, two cars. and a family dog.    4    to Mike, after seven years of marriage, something was terribly wrong. The Murrays had    5    their material goals and Mike    6   , now what? He began to look to his job for fulfillment and often worked 60 hours    7   . Mary poured herself into the children. It was so    8    for her to turn her focus from Mike to 6-month-old Eric and 2-year-old Brittany.

    And now the marriage seemed    9   . Their lives were traveling in two different directions. They no longer really communicated—yes, they answered    10    questions, but they didn't talk    11    as they had in the early years of their marriage. Mike felt trapped. “I 12___ had time to do things that I wanted to,” he says. Mike did not share his feelings with Mary. Instead, he followed the slippery path of many others—he became involved with (与……纠缠不清) a woman at work, who was    13    her husband. It began as a simple friendship. “I was able to listen and she was able to listen.” Mike recalls.

    Mary    14    the battle in Mike's soul. “He wasn't home as much, and we weren't talking as much,” she says. “I was wrapped up in the kids and I just couldn't imagine anything ever 15 . “The situation became worse when the Murrays attended a wedding and began to argue. Mary asked Mike if he was seeing    16    and he said, “Yes. It's just an emotional (情感的) thing.” Mike can still remember the    17    of hurt and total surprise on Mary's face. She was troubled, and he knew that he had turned against (背叛) his best friend    18    high school. The expression on her face jarred (刺激) him into    19   , and he began to understand the  20 he was doing to his family.

I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I

1    try to be a loving husband and father. Totally    2   . No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a commentator    3    my car's tape player. He was _4__ a passage about husbands being    5    of their wives.    6    he went on to say, “Love is an act    7 will. A person can choose to love. “To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband,

8    our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感觉迟钝). In unimportant ways, really scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉);     9    on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing    10    day-old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would    11   . And it    12   . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said. That new yellow sweater looks    13    on you. “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and    14   . Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought.” Evelyn's been alone here with the children    15    week and now she wants to be alone with me. “We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street investment (投资) firm    16    I am director; a visit    17    the shell museum, though I usually hate museums ( and I enjoyed it ) ;    18    my tongue while Evelyn's getting ready made us late for a dinner    19   . Relaxed (轻松) and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on    20    to choose love.

What Things Can Animals Do for Us?

    Can animals be made to work for us human beings? Some scientists think that one day animals may be    1    to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings. They    2    out that at a circus (马戏) , for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals    3    quite skillful things.    4    you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch    5    you may notice that the    6    always gives the animal a lump (块)of sugar    7    a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals    8    be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will    9    a reward for doing them.

    Of course,    10    we know, dogs can be used to    11    a house, and soldiers in both old and modern times have used geese (鹅) to give warning by making a lot of    12    when an enemy comes near. And it may be    13    to train animals to work in factories. In Russia, for instance, pigeons, which are birds with good    14   , are being used to watch out for  15 in small balls that are being made in one factory.    16    the pigeon sees a ball which looks 17 others, it touches a steel plate with its beak (嘴). This    18    on a light to warn the people in the factory. At the same time a few    19    are given to the pigeon as a reward. It    20  three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this, and one pigeon can inspect 3000 to 4000 balls an hour.

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with    1   . If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be able to take    2   . You must first go    3    there are people. You won't make friends staying home alone.

       4    a club or a group, for talking with those who    5    the same interests as you do is easier.    6    join someone in some activity.

    Many people are    7    when talking to people.    8    meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it's human    9    to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

    Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from    10    about ourselves. We 11    other people are judging us, find us too small or too short, too this or too that.    12  don't forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself    13    you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You'll never feel more    14   .

    Try to act self-confident even if you don't feel that way when you enter a room full of    15 such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look    16    at other people and smile. If you see someone you'd like to speak, to    17    something to, don't wait for the other person to start a conversation.

    Just meeting someone    18    doesn't mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is    19    on mutual liking and “give and take”. They take time and    20    to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.

The British love to think of themselves as polite, and everyone knows how fond they are of their “pleases” and “thank yous”. Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires 1    seven or eight of these. Another    2    of our good manners is the queue. Newcomers to Britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the    3    national sport. Finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. But does all this mean that the British should consider themselves more polite than their European neighbors? I think not.

    Take forms of address (称呼)for example. The average English person—    4    he happens to work in a hotel or department store —would rather die than call a stranger “Sir” or “Madam”. Yet in some European countries this is the most basic of common address. Our    5  “you” for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express    6   . I am all for returning to the use of “thee” and “thou”(Thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for “you” “you” would be    7    for strangers and professional relationships. And of course, the English find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. Have you noticed that the British    8    ever touch? Personally, I find the Latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. Try kissing the average English person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror, or, if their escape is  9   , you will find your lips touching the back of their head. Now what could be    10    than that?

When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all-white part of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new    1    weren't very welcoming. Some of the adults said    2    that we should return where we came    3   . The children sometimes threw stones at me or drove me home from    4   .

    Most of my teachers    5    took no notice of me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being    6   , but she didn't say this to me. Miss Bean    7    her respect for me by teaching me just like    8    else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a    9    to show that I was smart. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me    10    myself. She insisted on knowing what I thought about difficult questions. Was Thomas Jefferson    11    to buy Louisiana from France?    12   ? She expected me to have an opinion and to be able to    13    it up. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for yourself was the real key to 14    .

    One day, when I was not paying attention in class. Miss Bean suddenly    15    an eraser at me. Unbelievably, the eraser hit me right on the hand and    16    my pencil flying. The whole class was    17    at first, then started laughing. This incident became famous in the school and,    18    it happened to me. The students wanted to get to    19    me. So that's the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target, and how I became just another    20    in school.
