Enid's wedding(婚礼) dress arrived at five o'clock in the evening, just seventeen 36 before her marriage!

“I must try it on Mother!” she cried, as she ran 37 .Three minutes later Enid's cries brought her 38 up.The dress was much 39 for her. It was like a bag in the front, and the neckline looked all 40 . Enid was in 41 .

“Take it back to the dressmaker's,” Mrs Bale said.“She must 42 it tonight. Hurry now. Take it off and go.” The dressmaker's shop was closed.“Closed for One Week's Holiday,” said a 43 on the door. Fresh tears rose to Enid's eyes. She ran home again to her mother.

“This is unlucky,”Mrs Bale said.” But what are we going to do? 44 I ask Mrs. Peters to help? She was a dressmaker once. I'm sure she could change it for you.” Mrs. Peters was 45 in and began to work. She could see 46 was wrong. She had to 47 it narrower at the front, and that was a big job. Then she changed the neckline. In fact she made it again. At ten o'clock the work was finished, and Enid tried the dress on. It fitted her beautifully.

The three women were having a cup of tea 48 the doorbell rang .Mrs. Bale answered it and 49 into the worried eyes of a 50 woman. The woman was carrying a large flat 51 .“Does Miss Enid Bale 52 here?" she asked breathlessly. “Yes, she's my daughter.” “Oh, I am 53 I've found you! There's been a 54 .Your daughter has my wedding dress, and I've got 55 . And I'm getting married tomorrow!” She held out the box to Mrs. Bale.

I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say .Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁)calls on the two families on the same afternoon.

At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, ”If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died. ”At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today .That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate ,was more than she could take．It’s my fault that she’s dead.”

You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course------keeping mother at home, putting off the operation----would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?

There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.

The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.

A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needｓ,and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him，and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we don not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.

A well-known manufacturer of weighing machines produced a new model.

The machine had a computer inside it, and this computer could do wonderful things: it could weigh people very accurately; it could tell them their weight in their own language; and it could tell them what they should eat to reduce their weight.

The manufacturer decided to try out his machine before he sold it to the shops.

He looked around for a good place to put it and finally decided on an airport. There were always people at an airport from many different countries.

The first person to use the machine was an Italian woman. She stood on the machine, put a coin in and waited to hear her weight.

The machine took only a second or two to weigh her, decide on her nationality and the language she spoke, and figure out what kind of food she should eat.

“Good morning, madam,” it said in perfect Italian. “Your weight is 72 kilos, three more than it should be for a woman of your height, age and nationality. This is because you have been eating too much spaghetti. I suggest you eat more fruit and vegetables. Please have a nice day”.

The second person to use the machine was a Chinese girl. She stood on the machine, put a coin in and waited to hear her weight.

“Good morning, Miss," the machine said in perfect Chinese. "Your weight is 38 kilos, exactly the correct weight for your height, age and nationality. Continue to eat what you are eating. Please have a nice day.”

The third person to use the machine was a huge Australian woman. She walked up to the machine and looked at it for a long time. At last she found the courage to stand on the machine and put a coin in. The machine spoke immediately. “Good morning. Will one of you ladies please get off?”

1.What could the computer do?

C．Give them diet pills. D．Make them lose weight.

2.What did the machine say to the Italian woman?

A．She was a little too light. B．She was a little too heavy.

C．She disliked spaghetti. D．She couldn’t speak Italian.

3.What did the machine say to the Chinese woman?

A．She should eat more. B．She could speak Chinese.

C．She would have a nice day. D．She was fine.

4.What did the machine suggest about the Australian woman?

A．She was unwell. B．She was courageous.

C．She was too heavy. D．She had dieted well.

During the test，the girl 38 next to me whispered something，but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜) over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me 39 I had an extra pen. She showed me that 40 was out of ink and would not write．I happened to have an extra one，so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk．

Later, after the test papers had been 41 the teacher asked me to 42 in the room when all the other students 43 .
