 On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three.  36   my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it   37   over a fence. Chris was paralyzed(瘫痪)from the chest down,   38   to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of   39   with lots of unexpected challenges(挑战). We went from the “haves” to the “have-nots”. Or so we thought. 40   what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   41   difficulties. We came to learn that something   42   could happen in a disaster. All over the world people   43   Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a   44   center in Virginia, about 35, 000 pieces of   45   had been received and sorted.

As   46  , we opened letter after letter. They gave us   47   and became a source of strength for us. We used them to   48   ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with “Funny” if we needed a   49  , or to the “Disabled” box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or   50   in bed living happily and   51  .

These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so   52   we offer one of them to you.

Dear Chris,

My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your   53   accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this   54   challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you   55  .

                                                      Yours sincerely

                                                      Nancy Reagan

Some 80 percent of graduate students in East China’s Zhejiang Province said in a survey they will give up trying to find jobs in Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou,first-tier cities in China that have been considered dream places for many,because of the untouchable home prices and high living costs.

    The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers who were attending Sunday’s job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students.The survey showed graduates are becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming better.

    The fair attracted more than 10,000 graduate students with 7,382 positions.

    “The pressure of buying a house in Beijing is unbelievable,”said Wang Jian from Nanjiing Normal University,who acknowledged he had thought about finding a job in Beijing,Shanghai or Guangzhou,but in the face of huge pressures,he has no choice but to be “realistic”.

    People can have a very comfortable life in Nanjing with a monthly salary of between 3,000 yuan($450)and 4,000 yuan,but in Shanghai,5,000 yuan a month can only help you survive and buying a house will remain a dream.

    A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology said he just turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7,000 yuan a month because“living  costs in Shanghai are too high.”

    An unnamed male student from Nanjing University said he will try first-tier cities only if he can get a high salary.“I would go to Beijing only if I can earn 200,000 yuan a year,”he said.

    “Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou once had the advantages that other cities don’t have,but the high housing prices and living costs make young people barely able to breathe,”said Ren Leiming from the job service center of Jiangsu’s colleges and universities.

    “First-tier cities have plenty of talents that make it hard for people to be outstanding,and if you go work in smaller cities you can become a dominant player at your position much more easily,”said Ren.

1.The majority of graduate students will give up trying to find jobs in the first-tier cities because       .

    A.There are more job opportunities offered now.

    B.The job markets are becoming more and more competitive.

    C.Many graduate students aren’t satisfied with the working conditions.

    D.Companies and enterprises have stricter rules to take in graduate students.

3.We can learn from the news report that       

    A.in Shanghai,5,000 yuan a month can only help you buy a luxury house

    B.the fair attracted more than 10,000 graduate students and laid-off workers with 7,382 positions

    C.The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 personnel managers who were attending Sunday’s joh fair in Jiangsu for graduate students

    D.a student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7,000 yuan a month

    C.he would rather go to first-tier cities than smaller cities
