A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.
All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.
The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal,
“I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered.
“Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together. ”
Her husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
“I'll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages in fact. As she started, reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Nothing,” the husband replied, “keep reading your list.”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
“Now,you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists, ” she said happily.
Quietly the husband stated, “I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you. ”
The wife, touched by his honesty, the depth of his love for her, and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

e (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $ 27000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession. Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not an art expert. Photography is my hobby. I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140.the picture was dirty, and I couldn’t see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I like. I bought it because of the frame.” “It’s most unusual frame, made of tiny, silvery sea-shells. They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.” “When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer. I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $ 140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then.” “Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one, so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.” As a result of his explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused of (指控) knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department. Pitt was not happy. “I told the truth as I knew it then,” he said, “What else could I say?” And then the judge agreed with him. “The Customs Department is to be responsible (blame),” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods bought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty. 小题1:Pitt met the customs officer __________, where the officer was employed to ________.

My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would 1
at the correct answer. When I was youngerl thought 2 was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My
ears, Mum." She said, "No. Many important people are deaf. But I'd like you to 3 thinking about it and I'll ask
you
again soon."
Since making my first attempt (尝试), I had often thought over the question. So this time I told her, "Mum,
it must be our eyes." She looked at me and said, "You are 4 fast. Eyes are the windows of our heart, but the
answer is not correct because there are many blind people who are very successful."
Over the years, mother asked me a couple more times and always her response (答复) to my answers
was, "No, but you are getting 5 every year, my child." Then last year, my grandpa died. 6 was heart-broken
and was crying sadly. My mum looked at me when it was our 7 to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She
asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"
I got terribly 8 when she was asking me this at that time. I always thought this was a 9 between her
and me. She saw the puzzlement (困惑) on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows
that you have really 10 your life." She went on with tears in her eyes, " My dear, the most important body
part is your shoulders.""Is it because they 11 up my head?" I asked. "No, it is because on them a crying
friend or loved one can rest his head. I 12 hope that you have enough friends that you will have a shoulder
to cry on when you need it," she said. Then and there I understood what the most important body part meant.
