Filled with sorrow, I didn’t notice the hardness of the chair I was sitting on. I was at the funeral of my   1 . The hurt was so intense, and I found it hard to   2   at times.

    Suddenly, I heard a   3   open and slam shut at the back of the church. Quick   4   hurried along the floor. A young man looked around in a   5   and then sat next to me. His eyes were full of tears.

    “I’m  6  ,” he explained, though no explanation was   7  . After several eulogies (悼文), he leaned over and commented, “Why do they keep   8   Mary by the name of ‘Margaret’?” “Because that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary,” I   9  . “No, that isn’t correct,” he insisted. “Her name is Mary, Mary Peters.” “That isn’t  10   this is,” I replied. “Isn’t this the Lutheran church?” “No, the Lutheran church is across the street. I believe you’re at the   11   funeral, sir.”

    “I do believe we’ll be the   16   of the town,” he smiled. He said his name was Rick and that   17   he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong   18   for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral. A year after our meeting, we were   19   at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.

My wife called, “How long will you be with that      ? Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?” I threw the paper away and       to the place. My daughter, Sindu, sat there, tears welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a big bowl of rice.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I worked for a short time as a cashier（出纳员）at a restaurant a few months ago. 71  One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.

An hour later a man came up to the counter（柜台）. 72  I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (现金). 73  

“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.

74  I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim（认领）it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 75  The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could  buy.

A. He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet.

B. Later I thought about it again.

C. To my surprise, he took out a twenty–dollar bill and handed it to me.

D. So I didn’t return the wallet until the owner returned.

E. I wanted to be honest, so I didn’t care much about money.

F. I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.

G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.

For the last couple of weeks , I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me . My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead , I was feeling rather depressed . I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie,but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me : turn to nature!
The very next day , I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve , even though it was pouring with rain . Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again.To be honest . I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing , “I’m singing in the rain.”a song I used to sing when I was a child . I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制)our own spirits , which only leads to depression and stress.
Interestingly,it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking  in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels. But this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre .
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors , relax completely , remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.
