My husband is an engineer. Since we met，he has always been the rock in my life.I knew he had his feet　 __36__　 planted on the ground，and it seemed that no matter what else went　 __37__，he would be the constant one.

Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel　 __38__　 of him because he never brought me flowers，he never　 __39__ me，and nothing had changed in our marriage.

After　 __40__， I finally told him I wanted to be　 __41__. He just sat there, speechless and didn't even know __42__　 to say to make me stay. Finally，he spoke, “What can I do to change your __43__？”

“I'll stay if you have a good answer　 __44__　 this question，”I replied coldly. “If I asked for a　 __45__ growing on a cliff, and getting it for me　 __46__　 certain death，would you still do so？”

His face grew troubled. “Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning？” With that, my heart　 __47__. He couldn't even give me an answer　 __48__　 away.

The next morning，I found he was　 __49__. However，I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes　　 __50__　 misty(湿润)as I was reading it.

“Dear，I'll give you my　 __51__.

After you do typing for a long time, I need my　　 __52__　 to do it for you.

Every time you leave the house，you forget your keys. I need my legs to run　 __53__　 and open the door for you.... that's why I cannot pick the flower for you...”

With tears　 __54__　 from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Just because someone doesn't love you　 __55__　 you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul.

IN    THE    BEDROOM
Don’t smoke in bed ------it causes 1000 fires a year, many with fatal (致命的)results.
Don’t overload your electrical points: the right way is “one appliance（电器）, one socket”（插座）.
Don’t use an electric underblanket over you or an overblanket under you. An underblanket , unless of the low- voltage type, MUST be switched off before you get into bed.
Never let furniture or clothing get close to a lighted fire. Make sure that there is a suitable guard for the room heater.
Keep aerosol-type containers （喷雾器）away from heat and NEVER burn or puncture（刺穿）them.
Don’t dim a table lamp by covering it: buy a low-wattage bulb（灯泡）.
Pajamas （睡衣）and nightdresses, especially for children and elderly people, should be made from flame- resistant material.
IF  CUT   OFF　BY  FIRE
Close the door of the room and any fanlight or other opening and block up any cracks （缝隙）with bedding, etc.
Go to the window and try to attract attention.
If the room fills with smoke, lean out of the window unless prevented by smoke and flame coming from a room below or nearby. If you cannot lean out of the window, lie close to the floor where the air is clearer until you hear the fire brigade（队）.
If you have to escape before the fire brigade arrives, make a rope by knotting together sheets or similar materials and tie it to a bed or another heavy piece of furniture.
If you cannot make a rope and the situation becomes intolerable（难耐的），drop cushions or bedding from the window to break your fall, get through the window feet first, lower yourself to the full extent of your arms and drop.
If possible drop from a position above soft earth. If above the first floor, drop only as a last resort.

　 “I wish Central Bank would be robbed,” George Pickens said to himself. He had been making this wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller(出纳)at the bank.

　 Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. He had a plan. It went like this:

　 If Bank Robber A threatens(威胁)Bank Teller B…

　 What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and declaring that it was stolen by Bank Robber A?

　 Then one afternoon Bank Robber A, who was wearing a mask, appeared. He rushed to George’s cage with a gun.

　 “All right,” he said, “Hand it over!”

　 George reached into his cashbox(现金箱),took all the bills from top section, and passed them to the robber. The robber turned to leave with the bills.

　 Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B took the bills from the bottom section of the cashbox and put them into his own pockets.

　 The next morning when George arrived at the bank, he was called into Mr Burrows’ office. “George,” the bank president said, “I want you to meet Mr Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank.”

　 “Good morning, George,” said Mr Carruthers. “I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with so many banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our bank can be robbed too. That’s why I played my little game yesterday.”

　 “I don’t understand,” said George. “What game?”

　 The old man laughed. He placed a mask over his face, and said: “All right. Hand it over!” Mr Burrows laughed but George did not.

　 “And the money?” George asked in a small voice.

　 “Don’t worry,” Mr Carruthers said. “I put it all back in your cashbox. We’re just finishing up the audit(算账)now.”

　 Behind them, the door opened and Mr Bell, the chief auditor(查账员), put his head into the room. “Mr Burrows,” he said seriously, “may I see you a moment?”

1. The underlined part “Bank Teller B” in the text refers to ____.

　 A. Mr Bell　　　　　　　 B. Mr Carruthers

　 C. George　　　　　　　 D. another teller at the bank

2. How do you think George felt when he was told that the money had all been ut back in his

　 cashbox?
