On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three,   1   my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it   2   over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down,   3   to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of   4   with lots of unexpected challenges (挑战). We went from the "haves" to the “have-nots". Or so we thought.

      5   what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of   6   difficulties. We came to learn that something   7   could happen in a disaster . All over the world people   8  Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a   9   center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of   10   had been received and sorted.

     As   11  , we opened letter after letter. They gave us   12   and became a source of strength for us. We used them to   13   ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a   14  , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or   15   in bed living happily and   16  .

These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so   17   we offer one of them to you.

Dear Chris,

    My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your   18   accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this   19   challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you   20  .

Yours Sincerely,

Nancy Reagan

It is reported that one in three of us eats more meals by ourselves than we do with other people.But before you accept that somewhat depressing statistic，there is some good news—a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary entertainment.

Perhaps unsurprisingly，half of the UK's singles eat a meal alone at least once a day.And even one in four mothers with families have dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the Future Foundation.However，eating alone doesn't seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networks—in fact it's now a both quick and entertaining affair.

“Suppertainment” is the phrase created for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer，TV or game controller.Single men are the majority leading this trend，with 60 percent of them spending mealtimes entertaining themselves with something.However，40 percent of mothers and 30 percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week.

Boyd Hilton，TV and reviews editor of Heat magazine says，“Setting yourself up in front of the TV to suppertain comes naturally，especially when you've been busy all day.If I'm on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or I'll get on the laptop and catch up with comedies like the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on More 4 or Outnumbered on BBC 1.”

“I think it's such a bonus that healthy and tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food without having to worry about preparation time.”

Bill and John, both seriously ill, lived in the same room at Marie Hospital. John lived next to the only window of the room and was allowed to __16__ in his bed and watch for an hour every day. But Bill had to spend all his time __17__ on his back.

They became friends soon and talked for hours every day. They spoke of their families, their children, their hobbies, and their __18__ in the American army. Each day John would sit up and __19__ to his roommate Bill what he could see outside the window.

Through John's description, Bill's world was __20__ and brightened by all the activities and colors of the outside world. The window overlooked a beautiful park with a lovely __21__， John told Bill. Ducks played on the water __22__ children sailed their model boats. And a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As John described all these __23__， Bill would close his eyes and __24__ the picturesque (生动的)scene. Bill was recovering __25__. However, John became weak day by day.

Late one night, Bill was lying in bed __26__ the ceiling when John began to cough seriously. Then doctors and nurses rushed to the room. Thirty minutes later, John __27__ coughing. Now, there was only silence—__28__ silence.

The following morning, Bill was moved to the bed next to the window at his request. Slowly and __29__， he supported himself up on one elbow to take the first look. But to his __30__， he could see nothing but a __31__ wall.

Only at that moment did he begin to realize that the pursuit of happiness was a matter of __32__. It was a positive attitude we chose to express. It was not a gift that got __33__ to our doorstep each morning, nor did it come through the window. It was an inward journey.
