     Sometimes funny memories are the most special way to remember a beloved lover. It helps take away some of the feeling of loss. Before he passed away, my husband loved to share this story with our friends. Now, it makes a smile to share this story with you.
     Our neighbor"s son was getting married at a church, and we were invited. We immediately rushed out
to the store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month
before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.
June 29 came and, of course, I had not lost a single pound; in fact, I had gained two. But, I thought a new girdle (收腹健美裤) would solve my problem. So on the way to the wedding, we stopped once again at
the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle.
     The clerk found the box with the described girdle, marked "L", and asked if I would like to try it on.
"Oh, no, large will fit just right. I won"t need to try it on."
      The next morning was hot, so I waited to get dressed until about forty-five minutes before time to go.
I opened the girdle box only to find a new $49.95 girdle in a size small. Since it was too late to find
another one and the dress wouldn"t fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out between me and the girdle.
Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? Finally, my husband,
laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it, and I was ready to go.
     As we walked into the church, he asked if I could make it. Now, he was getting worried because I
was breathing funny. I told him that it would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight-and-one-half
seconds-the minister blessed everything except my girdle!
My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling. My husband was asking questions and trying to
comfort me.
     As soon as the minister pronounced them married, I rushed out with my husband. "Please, just get me
out of here!" I said.
     We ran out to our car, and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next
car. Right there, before God, human and the wedding party, I took off that girdle. When the girdle flew
out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours, my husband was laughing so hard and we drove
away.
Over the years, he and I had often wondered what the people of that church thought the next morning
when they found $49.95, size small girdle in their parking lot.1. When she was telling the story, she ______.A. was sorry for her husband"s death
B. was happy to share her funny memories
C. was wondering who had picked up the girdle  
D. still couldn"t forget the trouble on that day2. She still bought the tight pink dress, because she thought ______.A. she would save some money

     I was in a strange city and I didn"t know the city at all, and what is more, I could not speak a word of
 the language. After having spent my first day in the town-centre, I decided to lose my way on my 
second day, since I believed that this was the simplest way of getting to know the strange city. 
     I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off it and walked on. The first
 two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking 
about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of
 the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even then I pronounced it badly.
     I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my 
head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some 
money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me
 carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left 
and right and left again. I thanked him politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
     About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields 
were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for 
me to do was to find the nearest railway station.
1. The writer believed that if you wanted to get to know a strange city, ______.
A. you should go everywhere on foot       
B. you should have a map
C. you should ask people the way
D. you should get lost
2. The newspaper-seller ______.
A. could understand what he said          
B. didn"t know what he said
C. laughed at him                        
D. didn"t want to take the money
3. The writer"s real trouble was that _______.
A. he couldn"t speak the language    
B. he followed the policeman"s direction
C. he took the wrong bus       
D. he left the town-centre
4. The policeman ______.
A. didn"t help him         
B. pointed at him
C. didn"t understand what he really meant    
D. didn"t know the way

full of   17   that I had come dangerously close to   18   . "Sweetheart, let"s take a picture, so Mommy
