David finished a college and began to work in a middle school when he was twenty-three. Two years later
he broke his left leg while he was playing football with his students. They took him to a hospital at once. A girl,
Linda, took good care of him there. And they loved each other. As soon as he came out of the hospital, they
married. Linda is a garrulous (饶舌的) woman. She likes telling her husband all she hears in her hospital. David
is busy at school. He hopes to have a good rest at home, but she doesn't want to stop talking. He tries his best
to bear (忍受) it. One evening Linda came back late and her husband already went to sleep. When she went to
bed, she woke him up and asked, "Has the door been shut? " "Yes, it had," answered David. "Have the windows
been shut yet?" "All have been shut except your mouth," the man said angrily. "We've been married for three
years and you've never kept quiet! But I really need to be quiet."
