What does the word “heart” mean? Strictly speaking, a heart is an organ of the physical body which pumps blood into the organism(生物体). The term “heart”, however, extends to more than the physical body.

When lovers separate, one will often claim to have a broken heart, yet remain living. A sad gent or lady will often grasp the area between the ribs(肋骨) at the center of the chest, and moan (呻吟) in sorrow over the lost lover. Physical or not, the heart in this case is also something that pumps life into the emotional body.

“Don’t lose heart,” says a friend to another who has been discouraged by one of life’s many trials. Now how can anyone lose a heart? I ask. Easily, by getting discouraged. Again, the heart becomes a symbol of pumping life into a system but not a physical one.

When one gets to the heart of the matter, she gets to its center which gives its meaning. When people beg, “Have a heart,” they are asking you to be kind hearted to recognize the soul in another. Having a heart to heart talk means sharing something from the center of our being with someone else. Speaking from the heart always implies communicating from what is real and essential in our lives.

Perhaps the most common definition of the word “heart”, therefore, should recognize that “heart” is something essential to every human being, whether it is physical or not.

       A．lovers’ separation B．the death of one’s lover

       C．one hurts oneself  D．one’s crying for his or her lover

79．According to the author, how can one lose a heart?

       A．By losing what one owns.  B．By feeling sad.
