Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden. The old man was seen  21  his flowers all the time. They were so well-tended that every passer-by could not but  22  for a glance.

One day a young man went by the garden. He gazed at the splendid garden,  23  in admiration at the beauty of these sceneries. Then, suddenly he  24  the old gardener was blind. 25  , the young man asked, "Why are you busy tending these flowers every day which you can't 26  in fact?" The old man smiled and answered that " I can tell you 27  reasons. First I was a  28  when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, yet I can 29  them. Third，I can smell sweetness of them. As to the last one, that's  30 .

"Me? But you don't know me," responded the young man  31   .

"Yeah, it's  32 that I don't know you. But I know everyone knows flowers and would never 33  them down. I know the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good  34  . In the meantime, it also  35 a chance to me to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us."

The old man's 36 astonished me. The blind man grows flowers and 37  them as a link of minds so as to make  38 enjoy the sunshine in spring. Isn't it one kind of happiness？

I believe every flower has  39 with which they can see the kindness of the man's heart. The blind man grows flowers in his heart. Though  40 to see the beauty of blossoming, he surely can hear the voice of it, I suppose.

                                        Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.

   Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few

belongings and without so much as a note or a good--bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing

from home--the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others

rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a

different identity.

   To those left behind, this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.

  Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well

planned rather than impulsive. "It's typical of the kind of personality which seems

able to ignore other people's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself,is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty,upset and empty."

51. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle________.

  A. could not forgive him for taking the children

   B. had been expecting it to happen for some time

   C. could not understand why

   D. blamed herself for what had happened

52. Most people who leave their families behind them___________.

   A. do so without warning

   B. do so because of their debts

   C. come back immediately

   D. change their names

53. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse

     Because_________.

   A. their spouse would feel no pain during the death

   B. their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence

   C. a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure

   D. their spouse death would make them feel less painful

54. Which might be the best tire of the passage?

   A. Broken Marriage       B. New life after Desertion

   C. A New Social Problem  D. Desertion and its Influence

55. What can be inferred from the passage?

   A. Many people choose to leave home quietly because they hate their family.

B. Paul Brown regards leaving home as an act of selfishness.

C. Those who are left behind will lose confidence and won't marry again.

D. Eileen's husband, together with his four kids, were probably killed in an accident.
