Alexis was hot and tired. With rage (愤怒) in her voice she shouted,“Pull me up! I give up. I hate this. This is stupid!” It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said,“Ed, I'm going to go down and talk with her.”I then shouted down to Alexis,“ Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!”

Jason grasped another rope, put this climbing harness (系带) on and began to move down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted (急突) outward. Jason said to Alexis,“I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping (痉挛) up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But, Alexis, you are strong. Look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult parts up the cliff. Alexis, look at the path you have taken.”At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used in her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis' eyes and in a calm voice he said,“You are not alone out here. There are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?” Slowly she nodded and took a deep breath.?

My husband is an engineer. Since we met，he has always been the rock in my life.I knew he had his feet　 __36__　 planted on the ground，and it seemed that no matter what else went　 __37__，he would be the constant one.

Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel　 __38__　 of him because he never brought me flowers，he never　 __39__ me，and nothing had changed in our marriage.

After　 __40__， I finally told him I wanted to be　 __41__. He just sat there, speechless and didn't even know __42__　 to say to make me stay. Finally，he spoke, “What can I do to change your __43__？”

“I'll stay if you have a good answer　 __44__　 this question，”I replied coldly. “If I asked for a　 __45__ growing on a cliff, and getting it for me　 __46__　 certain death，would you still do so？”

His face grew troubled. “Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning？” With that, my heart　 __47__. He couldn't even give me an answer　 __48__　 away.

The next morning，I found he was　 __49__. However，I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes　　 __50__　 misty(湿润)as I was reading it.

“Dear，I'll give you my　 __51__.

After you do typing for a long time, I need my　　 __52__　 to do it for you.

Every time you leave the house，you forget your keys. I need my legs to run　 __53__　 and open the door for you.... that's why I cannot pick the flower for you...”

With tears　 __54__　 from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Just because someone doesn't love you　 __55__　 you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul.
