Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me, especially in winter. Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week.

I just missed home. But more than the old house and the beach, I missed Stacey, my best friend. And I missed our lovely tea. Going to a sweet little tearoom, we had discovered was a special treat for us. The place was a Victorian dream, with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints. The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood. Stacey and I became little girls, trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party. We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea. That was a precious time, filled with laughter between scones(煎饼) and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches.

Springtime descended upon Denver, and the sun lightened my heart. But I still fought loneliness almost every day. I decided to explore the Denver area. While my husband went to the office, I took time to see what our new area had to offer.

One day, I was walking along the street when suddenly the words "Tea Leaves" caught my eye. A tea room? Here, in the land of loneliness and pain?

I walked through the doors, and tears came to my eyes. It was a beautiful room, not Victorian, but simple and lovely.

I sat down and ordered a pot of tea, a cucumber sandwich, and some scones. It felt silly and wonderful --- and it felt like home. For the first time since moving, I felt as if this new city and state could be, would eventually be, my home. I would come back here and bring new friends. When Stacey visited, we would come here.

I lifted my cup and made a silent toast. I toasted Stacey, whom I missedly, and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain.

Our tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination. But not until the very critical moment will we     21    our potential tolerating ability.

There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion. Many people in the village at that time could not     22   the suffering of being a fugitive(亡命者) and wanted to commit suicide. After she knew about it, she would come to those    23     ,saying, “Don’t do that     24     thing. There are no such setbacks(挫折) that we could not overcome!”

Finally she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China.   25   , her son died of disease without sufficient     26      and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking anything. She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should also     27   . Though our son has passed away, we can have another. ”

After giving birth to the second    28    , her husband died of edema(水肿病), which almost    29  her away. But eventually, she    30     and held the three young children in her arms, saying, “My sweet hearts, don’t feel scared. You still have me, your dear mum!”

It took her pain efforts to     31    her children up and the life of her family was getting better and better. Two daughters were married and so was his son finally. She said to everyone she met, “Look! What I said is     32    right. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!” She was      33    gradually and could not do the farm work anymore. So she stayed at home and did some sewing work.

Nevertheless, the Heaven seemed to show no affection to her who had undergone a   34   life. She got her leg broken      35     when she was nursing her grandson. Due to her old age that posed a great risk to her operation, she did not receive operation and had to lie in bed all day long. Her children all cried heavily, while she merely said, “Why do you cry? I am still living.”

     36     she could not rise from bed, she did not complain about anything and anybody. Instead, she sat on the bed and did some sewing work. She had learnt scarves-weaving, crafts-making, etc. All her neighbors spoke      37     of her skills and came to learn from her.

She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”

We will only get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating ability after getting   38    heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the   39     of our destiny and maintain low-spirited all the time. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. Only those who have no confidence and courage to overcome setbacks will be    40     at last!

Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $6 million to make. A TV commercial can cost more than $ 600 a second. 54  Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money---and making money is what television is all about—the commercial is by far the most important.

Research, market testing, talent, and money—all come together to make us want to buy a product.  55  The sales of charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head.  56 

And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them.  57 If you want to get a lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell the products to an upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hairstyles are the types that the group agree with . if you want the buyer to feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.

We laugh at commercials. We don’t think we pay much attention to them.  58 The making of a TV commercial that costs so much money is not a kid stuff. It’s a big,big business. And it’s telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simple, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing.

A.No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works.

B.And this does not include the cost of paying for air time.

C.We, in return, buy the product.

D.The purpose of all the efforts made in producing TV commercials is to show how valuable the product is.

E. Here are some rules of commercial ad making.

F. TV commercials are a good guide to buyers.

G. But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves.
