Dear Mark，

You may consider this an anonymous(匿名的) testimonial.

We came to your seminar(研究班) with many difficulties and near violent anger, definitely emotionally violent. After taking your course we learned and practiced many of the techniques and principles you taught in the seminar we attended last year. It not only saved our relationship but improved our individual lives. For months and months we had all your rules taped to our walls (with 3M temporary double－sided removable pad tabs) in the bathroom above the sink, on the fridge and in my office and in the utility room. They kept reminding us of the proper ways to handle conflict and it has curtailed the damaging effects of emotional escalation(扩大) that really ruined any chance to a loving peaceful life. Although we both are far from where we'd like to be, we are thousands of miles ahead of the painful place where we were before attending your course. Spending the time with you and other couples helped us see that we were not alone and encouraged us to move through this awful phase of our relationship to a happier and more satisfying relationship. We were both motivated to learn and sincerely when we came. We participated honestly and we received great rewards then and now. I believe that we have integrated your techniques into our lives to our benefit.

Thank you for your life's work and course that has helped us grow and create a relationship that is so much more satisfying and pleasant.

We appreciate your part in our lives.

Yours,

Bill & Lori

Hercule Poirot looked over the small gate which gave admission to Pine Crest. It was a modern nicely-built house. It was on a hill top, and the hill top was planted with a few sparse pines. It had a small neat garden and a large elderly man was watering with a big tin.

Spence’s hair was now grey all over. He had not shrunk much in girth（围长）, though. He stopped watering and looked at the visitor at the gate. Hercule Poirot stood there without moving.

“God bless my soul,” said Spence. “It must be. It can’t be but it is. Yes, it must be Hercule Poirot!”

“Aha,” said Poirot, “you remember me. I’m grateful.”

Spence abandoned the watering can and came down to the gate.

“What brings you down here?”

“What has brought me to many places in my time,” said Poirot, “and what once a good many years ago brought you to see me. Murder, Spence.”

“I’m done with murder since I retired,” said Spence, “except in the case of weeds. Killing weeds is never easy as you think, something’s always wrong. How did you know where to find me?” he asked as he opened the gate and Poirot passed through.

“You sent me a Christmas card. It had your new address on it.”

“Ah yes, so I did. I’m old-fashioned, you know, I like to send round cards at Christmas time to a few old friends. I’m an old man now.”

“We both are.”

“Not much grey in your hair,” said Spence.

“I take care of my hair with a bottle,” said Poirot. “There is no need to appear in public with grey hair unless you wish to do so. By the way, why have you come to live in Woodleigh Common?”

“As a matter of fact, I came here to join forces with a sister of mine. She lost her husband, her children are married and living abroad. So I moved in here. Pensions（退休金）don’t go far nowadays, but we do comfortably living together.”

This is the story of two lovers, who finally got married. Both of them were romantic at first, 1 on the walk of life, problems, quarrels, profession came into their life.

One day, she finally decided “I want to break up”. “Why?” he asked.

“I am 2 .” she answered.

He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep 3 . finally he asked, “What can I do to 4 your mind?”

Looking into his eyes she said, “Answer my question. If you can 5 my heart, I will change my mind. Let’s say, I want a flower 6 on the face of a mountain cliff (悬崖), we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your 7 . will you do it for me?”

He said, “I will give you my 8 tomorrow.”

She woke up the next morning, found him gone, and saw a piece of paper on her bed, which 9 “My dear, I would not pick that flower for you, the 10 are …”

“When you use the computer you always 11 the software, and you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the 12 . You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my 13 to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a (n) 14 city. I have to save my eyes to show you the way. You always 15 at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes 16 when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those 17 white hairs.”

“Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you 18 I do … I could not pick that flower yet, and die …”

That’s life, and 19 . flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the 20 of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands.
