Some time ago ,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended ,as there are a whole lot of antique(古董)shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't oven look at my chair.

  The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong.

  I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,“ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said,“ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,”I said. “OK, ”he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds. ”“It ‘s got a slightly broken leg,”I said. “Yes, I saw that, it's nothing.”

  Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?”I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done. ”“I'll buy it,”I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,”he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I'm sorry, I'll give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ”“ Your must be crazy, ”he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ”“ You’re right, ”I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,’Would you mend this chair for me I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?”He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣)by the whole thing.

The Healing
Jim and his wife, Connie, were shocked by the loss of their four-month-old son—Joshua, whose life was taken by SIDS—sudden infant death syndrome.
Thirty hours ago Jim drove to the baby-sitter’s home to  1  Joshua. It was a  2  trip, like the one he made five days every week. He arrived, and little Joshua could not be   3   from his nap. The next few hours were a time of life and death: the racing ambulance, swift-moving doctors and nurses….but 12 hours later, at children’s Hospital,   4  the doctors had exhausted all  5 , little Joshua was gone. Yes, they wanted   6  of Joshua’s usable organs to be donated. That was not a   7  decision for Jim and Connie, a loving and   8  couple.
The next morning dawned and many things had to be arranged. Telephone calls and funeral plans.   9  one point Jim realized he needed a  10 .When Jim settled into the chair   11   the barber’s, he began to   12   the past hours, trying to   13  some sense of it all.   14  had Joshua, their first-born, the child they had waited so long for, been taken so soon….he had   15  begun his life….The question kept coming, and the pain in Jim’s heart just   16  him.
While talking with the barber, Jim mentioned the organ donations, looking at his watch: “They are transplanting one of his heart valves(瓣膜) right now.”
The  17  stopped and stood motionless. Finally she spoke, but it was only a whisper. “You’re not going to believe this….but about an hour ago the customer sitting in this chair wanted me to hurry   18  she could get to Children’s Hospital. She  19  here so full of joy….her prayers had been answered. Today her baby granddaughter is receiving a  20  needed transplant—a heart valve.”
Jim’s healing began.

A philosophy (哲学)professor walks in to give his class the exam.
Place his chair on  his desk, the professor says to the class,              76.      
“Use everything you’ve learned in that course to prove this        77.    
chair does not exist.” So, pencils are writing but erasers are            78.    
erasing. The students had a hard time proving that this chair             79.    
doesn’t exist except one student, whom spends thirty seconds     80.    
writing his answer, and then turns his paper, which surprises             81.    
his classmate. Time goes by, and the day comes when all          82.    
the students get their final grades. For everyone’s surprise, the   83.    
student who only wrote for thirty seconds gets a highly mark.    84.    
His answer to the question is “What a chair?”                           85.  

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.

The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth, so I decided that my approach must be wrong, and I should try another way.

I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper,” “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”

Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “ You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, “Would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver(五英镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
