2.While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning,he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown.What if Mr.Larchmont refused to grant his request?Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.Of course,he deserved a wage increase.The thought of walking into Larchmont's office left Andrew weak in the knees.Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior.To his delight and surprise,the ever-frugal(一向节俭的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state speed limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china,and candles lit.His wife,Tina,had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes.Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note.It was from his wife.It read:"Congratulations,my love!I knew you'd get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you.I am so proud of your accomplishments!"He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.
After dinner,Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina's pocket onto the floor.He bent forward to pick it up.It read:"Don't worry about not getting the raise!You do deserve one!You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase."
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew's eyes.Total acceptance!Tina's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
