Once upon a time, a Japanese man wanted to rebuild his house. First he had to tear the walls open .Japanese houses  36  have hollow(空的)spaces between the wooden walls. As he was  37  them down, he found a lizard(蜥蜴)  38 there because a nail(钉子)from the outside had been hammered into one of its feet. Seeing this, he felt  39 for it, and at the same time was curious about it.
     He knew very well that the  40  had been hammered 10 years before when the house was first  41   . What had happened since? The lizard had  42  for 10 years! To be stuck in a dark wall for 10 years without  43 —it hardly seems possible, and is hard to   44  . Then he wondered how the lizard could have lived for 10 years without moving a single step —since its   45  was nailed! So he stopped work and began to   46  the lizard. He wanted to know what it had been doing, and what and   47  it had been eating.
     A short time later another lizard   48  with food in its mouth. He was shocked, and at the same time deeply   49  . Another lizard had been feeding the stuck one   50 the past ten years.
     "What love  51 in this tiny creature! What can love do? It can do  52 ! Just think, one lizard has been   53  another untiringly for 10 long years, without   54 hope that its partner would be saved,"the man marvelled.
     If a small creature like a lizard can   55   like this, just imagine how we could if we tried

I still remember the first day at   38 . When I appeared at the door, 39   in the classroom stared（凝视）at me in   40 . My face turned   41 . I couldn’t help  42 back. It was the    43  and sympathy（同情）in their eyes that   44  me doing so. I went shyly towards an unoccupied (空的) seat.

Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to go. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that, it is different when one wants to walk.

At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.

The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and every-body wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty(空的).

During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good.  They always leave and arrive on time.

In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.

1. Tokyo is different from London in that ______________.

2.Fires break out___________ in Tokyo according to the writer.

3.Which of the following is NOT true about Tokyo?

    I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him   41  that the main reason why I was  42  with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years old had recently died of a heart attack . A(n)   43  in Boston would also help me reduce some of the pain of the loss. Bruce ,the interviewer ,was politely sympathetic, and didn’t probe(探查) any  44  .He acknowledged my loss and ,with great respect ,moved on to another  45 .

    After the next  46  of interview , Bruce took me to lunch with another manager .Then he asked me to take a  47  with him. He told me that he ,  48 , had lost his wife .And he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had  49  the same pain  50  I had , a pain that was almost 51  to explain to someone who had not  52  a loved  53 . He offered his business card and home phone number and  54  that, if I needed help or just wanted someone to  55 , I should feel  56  to give him a call. No matter whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I  57  needed any help.

    From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea  58  we would see each other again, he helped me  59  one of life’s greatest losses. He turned the normally  60  business interview process into an act of caring and support for another person in a time of need.
