Birthdays often bring surprises. But this year’s surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is __21__ one of the most surprising.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts __22__ that one of the most recognizable __23__ of William Shakespeare is a fake (赝品).
This __24__ that we no longer have a good __25__ of what Shakespeare looked like. “It’s very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare are unreliable because many of them are __26__ of this one,” said an expert from Britain’s National Portrait Gallery.
The _27_ comes after four months of testing. Experts from the gallery say the image — commonly known as the “Flower portrait” — was actually __28__ in the 1800s, two centuries __29_ Shakespeare’s death.
The art experts who work at the gallery say they used modern chemistry technology to __30__ the paint on the picture. These checks found traces (痕迹) of paint deep in the picture __31__ about 1814.
Shakespeare __32__ in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was __33__ there was a new interest in Shakespeare’s__ 34__ ,” Tanya Cooper, the gallery’s 16th century curator (馆长) said.
The __35__ picture has often been used as a cover for __36__ of his plays. It is called the “Flower portrait” because one of its __37__, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“There have always been __38__ about the authenticity (真实性) of the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture (画像技法),” he said.
Two other images of Shakespeare are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will __39__later in May. But for now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a __40__.

Several times on my way to work, I passed a gentleman who I supposed homeless. He had a lot of his possessions 36 down to his bike and held a cardboard sign that said he was a 37 who doesn’t drink or do drugs, but would 38 anything that could be given. He usually has 39 on and is listening to the radio. He is always 40 his own business, often reading 41 . I’ve never seen him 42 “begging”.
Several times, while I was 43 him, I realized I had some food with me, so I turned 44 and offered him that food. He took off his headphones, and said, “Umm, blueberry muffins are my 45 !” with a big smile and a gleam in his 46 . He thanked me so 47 .
The graciousness(有礼貌) and humbleness（谦逊） of his 48 makes me want to continue to stop by with “ 49 ” of food, money or other gifts. In the past, I’ve met 50 folks who 51 the food I was offering, saying that they wanted only money instead.
So this wonderful gentleman being so open to receiving has been a 52 .
It also makes me think how 53 I am to receiving in my life --- am I humble and grateful when I am 54 with something? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but 55 as gracious, humble and sincere as this wonderful man has been in receiving.

Tick, tock, tick, tock. I’m sitting here, watching the movements of my existence pass slowly away. My house has been 36 for such a long time，and I’m lonely and forgotten. Sitting here, by myself, all that I can do is 37 and think about my past. I could tell you stories that only 38 would know. 
But walls can’t speak.
I came to this place many years ago，along with an old man…. 39 , he was with me for on1y three short years before he passed on….
For a time, I was left alone, while people came and 40 the house…. Then, one day a nice couple moved in with a young son. 41 , their son Danny liked to stay with me, and I was completely 42 with him. He always looked as if he loved the stories I told, most of which began with. ‘‘Back in my day…” and ‘‘When I was 43 .…” I sometimes had the kind of idea that he didn’t really understand what I was saying, but it felt good to be 44 . When Danny went off to college，my heart broke. Soon afterward, 45 sold the house.…
New owners came and 46 . Then, One day it so happened that I was in when a new family was moving into the house. You can’t even imagine my 47 when, unexpectedly, Danny walked through the front door. He had a 48 and kids now. I was so overjoyed when I saw him that I put all my 49 into my daily activities. ... I spent the next twenty years watching his kids grow up, with a mixture of pride and 50 about what would happen next.
The kids finally became 51 and Danny sold the house. That was about five years ago…. Some of the local kids have started the rumor that the house is haunted（闹鬼的）--- and, in a way, it is. It is haunted by 52 of all the people who have lived in it. Every second has 53 me so much. I have been 54 them all day and they are almost up for me.... I hope that someday somebody will 55 me, and drop in on me again. Maybe then I’ll get a new home and an opportunity for a whole new set of memories.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. "I'm so 36 !" was my reply. Then he said, "Excuse me too. I wasn't even 37 you" .We were very polite, this stranger and I.
38 at home, a different story is told---how we 39 our loved ones. While I was cooking ,my daughter came up to me quietly. When I 40 , I nearly knocked her down. "Get out of the way! "I barked She ran away, with her little heart broken. I didn't realize how 41 I'd spoken.
That night, as I lay 42 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, "While 43 with a stranger, you're calm and polite, but with those you love, you're quick to 44 . Go and look right now on the kitchen floor. You'll 45 some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 46 them herself. She stood there _ 47 , not to spoil your surprise, and you never saw the tears in her eyes." 48 this time, I felt sad and my own tears had begun to 49 . "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" I asked. She 50, "I found them out by the tree. 1 knew you'd like them." I said, "I'm so sorry that I 51 them today. And I shouldn't have shouted at you that way." She whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 52 .” I hugged her.
Are you aware that if you die tomorrow, the company that you are working for could easily 53 you in a matter of days? But the family you leave behind will feel the 54 for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we 55 more into our work than into our families –an unbalanced investment (投资) indeed.
