My husband is an engineer. Since we met, he has always  been the rock in my life. I knew he had his feet 36 planted on the ground ,and it seemed that no matter what else went  37 , he would be the constant one.
Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel  38 of him because he never brought me flowers , he never   39  me, and nothing had changed in our marriage.
After  40  , I finally told him I wanted to be  41  . He just sat there , speechless and didn’t even know            __42__to say to make me stay . Finally , he spoke ,“What can I do to change your 43 ?”
“I’ll stay if you have a good answer  44 this question,” I replied coldly。“If I asked for a  45 
growing on a cliff, and getting it for me   46 certain death, would you still do so ?”
His face grew troubled.“Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning ?” With that , my heart  47 . He couldn’t even give me an answer  48 away.
The next morning , I found he was    49 .However, I found a note under a warm glass of milk . My eyes   50 misty as I was reading it
“Dear, I’ll give you my  51  .
After you do typing for a long time , I need my 52  to do it for you.
Every time you leave the house , you forget your keys . I need my legs to run 53  and open the door for you… that’s why I cannot pick the flower for you….”
With tears   54from my eyes , I opened the door. And there he was , with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.
Just because someone doesn’t love you  55 you want him to, it doesn’t meant that he doesn’t love you heart and soul.

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper —and had a meal I have never had before.

All the friends invited were a little surprised. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never   21   more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something   22   for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a   23 _ table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the best for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked   24   at each other —what was he up to?

Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a mixture of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next   25   was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just another mixture of vegetable.

As we ate we chatted and finally the   26   turned back to what we were eating. ”Was there a recipe (食谱) for this,” asked Marina, “or did you   27   it up?” Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked depended on what I could find.” Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.” “But there’s  28   choice in what you can find outside supermarkets,” he replied.

Seeing that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually throw away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of __29  , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.

So Ben had successfully provided a decent (体面的) meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to   30   millions of people.
