A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous. Late in the afternoon she gathered the 36 to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a 37 . The woman arrived home that evening to find a beautiful table 38 with their best dishes. Candles were softly burning. Her 39 had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had given him the information 40 , or··· did he just somehow know that she would not get the request 41 ?
She found him in the kitchen and 42 him the good news. They happily sat down to enjoy the wonderful 43 . Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered card which was her husband"s44 of writing. It read “Congratulations, darling! I knew you"d get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.” 45 The supper, her husband went into the kitchen to 46 . She noticed that a second 47 had fallen from his pocket. 48 it up off the floor, she read, “Don"t worry about not getting the raise! But you 49 it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you.”
Someone has said that the 50 of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total 51 and love, whether she succeeds or 52 . His love celebrates her victories and 53 her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throw in their direction..
Upon receiving the Nobel for 54 , Mother Teresa said, “What can you do to 55 to the world peace? Go home and love your family.” And love your friends. Love then without measure.

Alexis was hot and tired. With rage in her voice she shouted, "Pull me up！I give up, I hate this. This is stupid!" It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip, looked at me and said, "Ed, I"m going to go down and talk with her." I then shouted down to Alexis, "Hold on! You can do this. We know you can!"
Jason grasped another rope, put his climbing harness(系带)on and began to repel down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted outward. Jason said to Alexis, "I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping(痉挛)up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But , Alexis, you are strong, look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult paths up the cliff. Look Alexis, look at the path you have taken."
At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used on her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis" eyes and in a calm voice he said, "You are not alone out here, there are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to do this together. Are you ready?" Slowly she shook her head yes and took a deep breath.

Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,
Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train．It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before．
College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I"m feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don"t begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.
It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don"t know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I"ve never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.
Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.
But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn"t you have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.
I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it"s a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.
I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that"s rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that"s rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won"t stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I"ve decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won"t mind. It"s just a private pet name we won"t tell Mrs. Lippett.
The ten o"clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It"s very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.
Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.
Yours most respectfully,
Jerusha Abbott
to Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith
小题1:Jerusha felt “confused” because ______.| A．she had never written to the trustee before | | B．she was not familiar with the college yet | | C．she could never find the way to her home | | D．she had never traveled on a train berore |
小题2:Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “John Smith” because _______．| A．he was a total stranger to her | | B．she was sure it was a false identity | | C．the name was too common | | D．nobody would like to be called that name |
小题3:The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes Jerusha feel______.| A．busy | B．restricted by rules | C．pressed for time | D．full of energy |
小题4:Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs______.| A．in order to show her respect for him | | B．because it was one of his inner quality | | C．in older to make them feel closer to each other | | D．because she had always wanted a father |
