A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an  appointment（预约）into the outer  36  of Harvard’s president. But they were  37  by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,  38  that the couple would finally become  39  and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though  40  .

      A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a  41  face. The lady told him, “We had a son that  42  Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was  43  here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to  44  a memorial（纪念物）to him, somewhere on campus.”

     The president wasn’t  45  . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this   46  would look like a cemetery（墓地）,” “Oh, no,” the lady  47  quickly. “We don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a  48  to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and  49  at the couple and then exclaimed, “ A building! Do you have any  50  how much a building costs? We have spent over ＄7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was  51  , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a  52  ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded.  53  their offer was turned down. Mr. and Mrs. Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University that bears their  54  , a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer  55  about.

Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a ___36___ because of some small things. And neither was willing to ___37___ each other.

One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He  38 _ it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m  39__ a few days’ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.”  

“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. ___40___ at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother’s. We had a quarrel, so I won’t like to see his place or his __41___ any more. I want you to build me a 8-foot ___42___.” 

The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you __43__.” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.

In the evening, the carpenter had just ___44___ his job when the elder brother returned. But he was __45___ to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a __46____, which went from one side of the river ___47__ the other! On the other __48____ of bridge, was his younger brother.

“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.

“No,” the elder brother was __49___. 

“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and __50___,” the carpenter smiled.

Suddenly they began to understand ___51___. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a _52____. Standing on the bridge, they _53___ each other’s hands with ____54__ in their eyes. 

“Could you stay another few days? I’ve a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I’d love to ___55___ on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”
