A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye.
One   36 , when the boy was around two, the husband saw an opened medicine bottle. It was 8:30 am and he was almost   37 for work, so he asked his wife to 38   the lid on the bottle and put it in the cupboard. Busy in the kitchen, the mother 39   forgot the matter. Seeing the bottle, the boy picked it up playfully and 40   the liquid in it. It was a medicine 41   for adults to be taken in small dosages （剂量）. When the boy fell down, the mother hurried him to a(n) 42   where he died. The mother was terrified. How could she 43  her husband?
When the heartbroken father returned and saw the dead son, he 44   his wife and said just four words. What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, “I 45   you, darling.”
The husband’s totally 46   reaction was positive. Their son could never be 47   back to life,so there was no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, this would not have happened   48 he had taken the time to put the bottle away.
The mother had also lost her only 49 . What she needed at that moment was 50   and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is   51 , only to miss the opportunity to enjoy the 52   in human relationships we could receive by giving each other support. Why don’t we 53   someone we love for the “mistake” they didn’t make on purpose?
Treasure what you 54 , let go of all your anger, 55   to forgive, and selfishness and you will find fewer problems in the world.

A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.

Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.

When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."

The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.

Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.

I was brought up in the British, stiff upper lip style. Strong feelings aren’t something you display in public. So, you can imagine that I was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief(悲伤) at a Chinese funeral.

My funeral.editorial team leader died recently after a short illness. He was 31. The news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset. A female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk. Somehow we got through the day's work. The next day was the funeral.

Our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy and was soon in tears. She carried on, in Chinese of course, but at the end said in English: "There will be no more deadlines for you in heaven." Next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion. Then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute(哀悼), weeping openly as he spoke. Sorrow is spreading. Me and women were now sobbing uncontrollably. Finally, the man's mother, supported between two women, addressed her son in his coffin. At one point, the mother almost collapsed and had to be held up. We were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket. Our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap. At the end of the service I walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion.

In the UK, families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral. Here in China it would seem that grieving is a public affair. It strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment, which is what many of us do in the West.

Afterwards, a Chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral had been restrained(克制) by Chinese standards. In some rural areas, she said, people used to be paid to mourn noisily. This struck me like something out of novel by Charles Dickens. But we have all seen on TV scenes of grief-stricken people in Gaza and the West Bank, in Afghanistan, Iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world. Chinese grief is no different. I realized that it's the reserved British way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world.

It was our newspaper's production day. We were bussed back to the office to resume work. No more deadlines for our former colleague, but we had to pull together to put the newspaper to print. The boss invited the team to go out for dinner after work. We relaxed, smiled, joked. There was no mention of the funeral or our poor colleague. Enough sorrow had been shed already. We needed a break.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play. Mrs. Dermit, my drama(戏剧) teacher, had been looking for someone to play an energetic boy in a play. Luckily for me, she thought that I could act the 1 .

Then it hit me---Kevin knew the 11 as well as I did. I called Mrs. Dermit to give her my 12 . Within a few short hours, Kevin stood on the stage in costume(戏服) and makeup. The amusing lines he had 13 with me so many times made the crowd laugh and cheer. In a strange turn of events, Kevin and I had 14 the day for everyone by working as a team.

It was about midday. I’d left work early in the morning to cash a cheque. I walked along to the bank, and found that there weren’t too many people about ten or eleven customers in there, which was pretty unusual for those central city banks.

I waited until it was my turn and just went up to the desk and started to talk to the bank clerk. He had a really strange expression on his face -- just sort of blank stare at least I thought he was looking at me and then I realized he was staring over my shoulder.

I began to turn round to see what he was looking at. At the same moment the outside bank guard came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor and following him through the door were three frightening masked men. They were carrying guns; at least I think the one in front was carrying a gun. Whether or not they said anything at that point I can’t remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up I’ve just no idea.

For a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing and I remember thinking and wondering who was on the other end of the telephone. Nobody went to answer the telephone, so this thing just kept on ringing and ringing. Then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and the bank clerks to start filling the bags with cash. While the two were getting the money, the one at the door who was covering us with the gun was a bit frightened. He started swearing at them, and telling them to hurry up, to get a move on. They jumped back over the counter. One of them slipped as he landed on the floor and fell over and the other two swore at him again. They left through the door. Warning us, “Don’t move, stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.” And then they just disappeared. Again back to total silence. People put their hands down, I put my hands down but I just stayed exactly where I was.

1.What does the writer mean by saying “…a pretty unusual number for those central banks” in the first paragraph?

A. More customers than usual were staying in the bank.

B. Less bank clerks than expected were in the bank.

C. There were often more than a dozen customers in the bank.

D. More banks should be open to serve customers in the city center.

2. The bank clerk wore a blank expression on his face probably because ________.

A. he was feeling upset at that moment

B. he felt puzzled and sensed something terrible

C. he was required to keep silence

D. he was threatened with a gun by robbers

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The customers didn’t wait in line but jumped the queue because of the confusion.

B. All the people in the bank except the writer put their hands up automatically.

C. Nobody answered the phone because all the clerks were busy with work.

D. the bank workers were forced to fill the robbers’ bags with cash.

4. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. A Street Gang B. A Strange Bank

C. A Bank Robbery D. A Horrible Adventure
