One day, an old couple around the age of 70 walked into a lawyer’s office. They were there to get a divorce(离婚). The lawyer(律师) was very puzzled. A  1  having a chat with them, he got their story.
This couple had been quarrelling in their 40 years of marriage and nothing ever seemed to go right. They stayed together because of their children. Now all their children have grown up and have their o  2  families. There’s nothing else the old couple have to w  3  about. All they want is to live their own life, so both have agreed on a divorce.
The lawyer was having a hard time trying to get papers done. He couldn’t understand why the old couple w  4   a divorce. While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband, “ I really love you, but I really can’t carry on any more.”
“It’s Ok, I understand,” said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a d   5   together, just the three of them. The wife thought, why not, since they were still going to be f  6  .
The first dish was roasted chicken. At once, the old man took the chicken leg and gave it to the old lady. “Take this, it’s your f  7  .
Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe here was a chance, but the wife looked
u  8   when she answered, “This is the problem. You always think so highly of yourself and never think about how I feel. Don’t you know that I h  9  chicken legs?”

Pearl and June were good friends and spent most of their time together.
They were both very old and they worried about their health. Most of the time they talked about nothing else.
They worried about their food. Was it clean? Would it give them pains in the stomach?
They worried about the weather. Was it too cold and wet? Would it give them pains in their bones?
They worried about pollution in the air. would it give them pains in their chests(胸部)and throats(喉咙)?
They worried about being hurt in a car accident, killed in a plane crash, getting sick, and so on.
All they could think about was being ill or hurt.
One day they went on a train journey together.
“We’ll need some food,”Pearl said.
“We’ll buy some bananas,”June said.“They are good to eat and always clean.”
And so they bought two bananas to eat on the train.
It was not long before they were hungry.
Pearl took out the bananas and gave one to June. Then she peeled(剥)the skin of her banana and took a large bite of it.
At that moment the train went into a tunnel. Everything went black.“Don’t eat your banana,”Pearl shouted at June.“Mine has made me go blind!”
