3.A Hindu saint (印度圣人) found a group of family members on the banks,shouting in anger at each other.He turned to his students and asked,"Why do people in anger shout at each other?"
The students thought for a while,and one of them said,"Because they (36)C their calm(镇静)
"But why should they shout (37)D the other person is just next to them?They can tell him/her (38)A a soft voice,"asked the saint.
The students gave some other (39)B but none satisfied the saint.
Finally the saint explained,"When two people are angry at each other,their hearts distance (保持距离) a lot.To (40)C that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other.The angrier they are,the (41)A they will have to shout to hear each other.What happens when two people fall in love?They don't shout at each other but talk softly,because their hearts are very(42)D.
The saint continued,"When they love each other more,what happens?They do not speak,but only whisper (低语) and they get closer to each other in their love.Finally they (43)C need not whisper.They only look at each other and that's all.That is how close two people are when they love each other."
He looked at his students and said,"So when you argue,do not let your (44)B get distant,and do not say words that distance each other more.Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the way to (45)A."
