A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the   36   , shouting angrily at each other. He___37     his disciples(弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in    38    at each other ?” The disciples   39    for a while and one of them said, “ Because we   40__    our calm, we shout.” “But, why should you shout    41    the other person is just next to you ? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a(n)   42    manner,” asked the wise man. Some disciples gave some other answers, but none   43    the other disciples. Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their   ___44    . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to  45    each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to __46     that great distance. What   47__     when two people fall in love ? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very  48    . The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small.”

The wise man  49     , “When they love each other even more, they do not   __50    , but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they   51  need not whisper. They only look at each other and that’s   52   . That’s how close people are when they love each other.”

He looked at his disciples and said, “So, when you   53   , do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more.   54    there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to  55   . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”

Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck．I felt horrible as well as  1 ．What would she do with me? She was almost made after the  2   of her husband．

A few minutes later, I heard the truck  3  its engine and move fast．I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any 4   ．

Finally she put me down in a  5   place．Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag．

I  6  out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me．

It turned out that my owner meant to  7 me．I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther．So I cast my head  8  the direction of the truck: The days we spent together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck．I saw my male owner．Who suffered liver cancer, look at me with his sad eyes．I saw myself  9  my owner everywhere; I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all  10  ．

I ran as fast as I could．And the  11  I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet．I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a（ n）  12  lady．She seemed even somewhat  13  at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to  14  the pain of losing him．She

  15  his pictures and clothes, she redecorated the whole house．Now I was the only  16 

thing to remind her of him．  17  later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this…

The truck finally stopped when I was almost 18   ．She ran up to me and hugged me  19  ．I heard her  20  ;”I know you are a present he left to me．”
