One winter morning, an old couple around the age of 70, walked into a lawyer’s office to sign

a   36   after quarreling all their 45 years of marriage. The lawyer was very   37  , after having a chat with them, he got their   38  . They hung on because of their children, afraid that it might    39   their growth. Now, all they wanted was to lead their own life free from all these years of  __40   from their marriage, so both agreed on a divorce.

The lawyer was having a hard time getting the papers done, but he still couldn’t understand why the old couple would want a divorce, suggesting a   41   together, just three of them. At the table, there was a silence of   42   . The first dish was roasted chicken.    43   , the old man took the drumstick for the old lady, “Take this, it’s your favorite. ” Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there was still a   44  , but the wife answered frowning. “This is where the problem   45   . You always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don’t you know that I hate   46   ?”

Little did she know that, over the years, her husband was trying all ways to   47   her; little did she know that drumsticks were her husband’s favorite. Little did he know that she never thought he understood her at all; little did he know that she hated drumsticks even though all he wanted was the best for her.

That night, both of them were difficult to fall asleep. After hours, the old man couldn’t   48_ it any more, wanting to tell her himself, “I love you and I can’t live without you.” He picked up the phone to dial her number. Ringing never stopped. On the other side, she was upset,   49   to answer any phones. The next day, she received news that he had   50  , learning that he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone line.

  51   enough, she had to clear his   52   in his apartment , only to find an insurance policy（保险单）dating from the day when they got married, and the beneficiary （受益人）was her. Together in that file there was this note: “To my dearest wife, I bought this policy for you,   53__   the amount is only $100, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that I made when we got married, and I want you to know I will always be around by your side. I love you.” Tears   __54   freely down her cheeks when the lady read it.

I sometimes wonder if old Finchley has the right personality to be a research scientist. He keeps asking when he’ll be coming back. After all, it was his own fault. Nobody tries out what has just been invented on themselves any more but Finchley. Well, he must have pumped about a thousand cubic centimeters into himself before I noticed he was clearly becoming smaller.

  It was funny watching him, because his clothes remained the same in size. They simply piled up around him so that he looked like a small boy in his father’s clothes. But he kept getting smaller and smaller. As my colleague Dawson and I watched him, he disappeared! All we could see was Finchley’s clothes on the floor. They looked so strange, because the lab coat was on top, shirt and trousers inside and, I suppose, underclothes inside again. It gave me a strange feeling, and I think Dawson was a bit shaken, too.

  Dawson was sitting on his chair in front of a microscope he’d been using to examine a family of mites(螨虫). He looked through the scope kind of absently again, and was nearly scared to lose awareness when he found old Finchley waving back from the other end.

  It seems as if Finchley had taken a free ride on a dust mite and landed on the land of the mite family. Of course, we didn’t know till Finchley told us later. But anyhow, as I said, Dawson nearly passed out. He jumped off his chair and pointed at the microscope, too shocked to speak.

1. Finchley disappeared because ________.

 A. he took something poisonous      

B. he was changed into a dust mite

   C. his father’s clothes totally covered him up

3. It can be inferred that Finchley, Dawson and the writer have possibly invented _____.

 A. some kind of medicine             B. a new powerful microscope

   C. a machine to make people small    D. a new way to make a culture of mite

4.It can probably be concluded that Finchley ________.

   A. passed out there and then         B. is not fit to be a scientist

   C. is a devoted scientist            D. will remain tiny all the time
