Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were still 16 to her door.
Each year he sent her roses, and the 17 would always say, “I love you even more this year, than last year on this day.” My love for you will always 18 , with every passing year. “She knew this was the last time 19 the rose would appear. Her loving husband did not know that he would 20 . he always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy, 21 would work out fine.”
A year went by, and it was 22 to live without her mate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses 23 , calling the florist shop. The owner answered, and she asked him , if he would explain, why would someone do this to her, 24 her such pain?
“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago,” The owner said, “I knew you’d 25 , and you would want to know. “ “ The flowers you received today, were  26 in advance.” “Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance.”
She thanked him and 27 the phone, her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to 28 the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. This is what he wrote: “Hello my love, I know it’s been a year 29 I’ve been gone, I hope it hasn’t been too hard for you to overcome.” “I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very 30 . for if it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared 31 everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than words can say.”
“You were my friend and lover, I know it’s only been a year, 32 please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, 33 when you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.”
“ When you get these 34 , think of all the 35 that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will. My love, you must go on, you have some living still.”

What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I    21  an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against   22  of 100, scored 160．No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.
All my life I've been registering scores like that,    23  I have the complacent(洋洋自得的) feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who    24     the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents(天分) similar to mine?
For instance, I once had an auto-repair man, who, on these intelligence tests, could not   25  have scored more than 80,by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always fixed it.
Well，then，suppose my auto—repair man   26  questions for some intelligence tests．By doing every one of them I'd prove myself a   27  ．In a world where I have to work with my    28   ，I'd do poorly．
Consider my auto—repair man   29   ．He had a habit of telling 30   ．One time he said. “Doc, a deaf and dumb man   31  some nails．Having entered a store，he put two fingers together on the counter and made 32    movements with the other hand．The clerk brought him a hammer．He   33   his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering．The clerk   34  him some nails．He picked out the right size and left．Well，Doc，the   35  man who came in was blind．He wanted scissors．   36  do you suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers．He burst out laughing and said，“Why, you fool，he used his    37   and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, "I've been    38    that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew     39    I'd catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you're so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn't be very     40   ." And I have an uneasy feeling that he had something there．
