I could hear a lady was trying to start the lawn mower（除草机） in the back garden.
“Hello!” I shouted and 7 at her. “Well, hello!” She stood up and wiped her hands in the apron. “I ——I came to see the fence. It is so beautiful!” I said.
“The fence is not there for my 8 ”, the lady explained to me in a(n)9 voice. “I live alone. But so many people drive by every day, and I thought they 10 be glad to see something really nice. People see my fence and wave. 11 stop like you and come up to veranda(走廊) to have a chat.”
“ 12 weren’t you sad when they expanded the road and everything changed so much?” I asked.
Her reply 13 my life. “Change is a part of life and takes part in 14 us who we are. When something we do not like happens to us, we have two choices: to become a 15 person or to become a better person.”
I carefully left the gate 16 and drove on with a new feeling inside me. I could not 17 what it was, but I could feel the 18 stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And 19 a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my 20 .

Crashing a state dinner at the White House without any invitation apparently takes a security breakdown as well as some kind of courage.
The Washington Post first reported that a couple, Tareq and Michaele Salahi, not on the official guest list, managed to slip into the state dinner at the White House on Nov. 24, 2009. The dinner was held to honor Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. According to the Post, the uninvited guests had stayed in the same place with the Obamas and other important figures.
The U. S. Secret Service learned about the security breach (破坏) on Wednesday only after the couple boasted online about having attended the state dinner. One of the many photos from the dinner posted on her blog shows the couple with the smiling Vice President Joe Biden.
The White House has asked the Secret Service for a full review of what happened. “ The Secret Service is looking into its security procedures after determining that. ” Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said. “ An initial (初步的) finding has identified that one of our checkpoints did not follow proper procedures to ensure that the two individuals were on the invited guests list,” Donovan said. But he also said President Obama was never in any danger as well as the others at the dinner, because all the party attenders went through the security screening for weapons as there were more than three hundred people invited. “ But we do not rely on just magnetometers (检测仪) or the level of screenings, ” he added. “ That’s why we have the guards with our protectees at all times ”.
The following are more reactions to this incident:
* One senator thought authorities ought to pursue criminal charges against the couple and such behavior should be strongly discouraged.
* “ There is no need of legal help for the couple, as they just went to a party. They didn’t do anything wrong,” a lawyer expressed his opinion on this eye-catching security breach.
* Evan Botny, a current affair commentator, on Sunday said his concern was about the long-term effect on U.S. security, so it should be regarded more than a laughing matter.
* Meanwhile, a TV executive added that the couple’s attempt might be focused on money, as they
were offering interviews to networks on their experience.
45. The U. S. Secret Service got to know the incident because of _______.
A. the news from the Washington Post
B. the announcement of some important figures
C. the couple’s boasting on the internet
D. the report of the Secret Service spokesman
46. In paragraph 4, the spokesman thinks _______.
A. the security procedures are very efficient
B. such incidents could be very easily avoided
C. the secret service needn’t be improved at all
D. the incident came as a surprise with no harm
47. According to the passage, the couple did so in order to _______.
A. enjoy a state dinner B. take some photos
C. become famous D. visit the White House
48. From the reactions, who believes the Secret Service rather than the couple is to blame?
