The young couple had another quarrel. They were sitting silently when the landlady(女房东) came in and asked, “You don’t 36 the house any more?” He kept silent and she 37 shook her head.
The landlady began 38 the house. After looking around, the landlady screamed, “See how you have 39 my house? The walls are full of nails(铁钉)! How could I rent it to others?”
She began looking around her 40 room. Four years ago on the wedding night, he felt deeply 41 to her, saying, “I feel so sorry to you for 42 you live in this small room. In the future I will buy our own big house.”
This tiny room has two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her bag and the other 43 . At that time, she threw all her stuff(填充物)such as her bag and umbrella on the 44 once she entered the room, staring at the whole 45 and feeling terribly upset. Then he began 46 more nails into the wall. There were three nails on the left, on which 47 his clothes yesterday and four on the right used to 48 their wedding photo frame.
The landlady started to pull the nails out with a tool. After the nails were 49 , the walls were left with countless holes. Suddenly, she felt heartbroken as if she were 50 nonstop through these holes.
She 51 to her feet and exclaimed, “Stop removing the nails! We will rent the house 52 we buy our own!” He gazed at her surprised, and then turned round, tears over his cheek.
She 53 realized that marriage was like a wall and that all 54 and “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall. 55 , when they were removed, only a wall with holes would remain. But if all the nails were still in their own places, the wall was still complete and reliable.

Ice cream can’t cure cancer or bring back a lost love, but it can make one feel better for a while.
A bout 18 months ago, my father was in hospital recovering from a major lung operation. My mother had recently 36 , and my father had taken the loss of his partner of 55 years very hard and had lost interest in 37 . Trying to get him to 38 each day was quite a chore as he didn’t want anything. The one thing, 39 , that he would ask us to bring him was ice-cream.
One evening, to our 40 , he refused to eat the ice-cream, 41 I placed it in a staffroom freezer. A little while later, my son decided he wanted it, so I 42 it for him.
As I passed another ward（病房）, a 43 asked, “Are there more where that came from?” When I explained the 44 , she apologized. She then said that she had cancer and could eat very little, 45 the occasional ice-cream.
The next evening, I decided to buy two ice-creams. On the way to Dad’s room, I stopped in at the 46 woman’s room, and 47 her the ice-cream I’d bought for her. She was 48 stunned that I had thought of her, and 49 the gift with tears in her eyes. I spoke with her for a few minutes, 50 what was happening in my family and listened to her 51 story of pain and suffering. It was apparent that she did not 52 many visitors, and the ice-cream and our short chat meant a great deal to her.
I 53 the gesture a few days later, and this time was 54 with a huge hug.
I never even thought to ask her name, and never saw her again, but it made me realize that an act of 55 can be more rewarding when you give it, rather than receive it.

Mr．Glen is a millionaire．Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 36 up his small company．Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his 37 expensive “school” fees．He always 38 a Ph．Degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting an undertaking．Before 39 , he bought a Rolex watch with the 40 made through years of work after school and the scholarships．At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check．The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be 41 down for inspection．Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax．And he worried about paying 42 for his watch．So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless 43 ．When he was 44 of his ‘smarts’, immediately, 45 the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which 46 nearly ￥100,000, into pieces at hearing Glen’s words．Glen was amazed． 47 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be 48 strictly．For many times of entry-exit 49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment．The officers 50 every thing carefully in the box, and warned him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 51 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy（伪劣）goods, he would be 52 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too．He said that this made a deep 53 on him, because an additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 54 , which he would 55 as the secret of his success forever.

Children model themselves largely on their parents．They do so mainly through identification．Children identify 36 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 37 of that parent．The things parents do and say---and the 38 they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's 39 ．However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 40 they want their child to become．
A parent's actions 41 affect the self-image that a child forms 42 identification．Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 43 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way．Children who observe chiefly 44 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 45 positive qualities in themselves．Children may 46 their self-image, however, as they become increasingly 47 by peers groups standards before they reach 13．
Isolated（孤立的） events, 48 dramatic（突然的） ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 49 on a child's behavior．Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training．Children who know they are loved can, 50 , accept the divorce of their parents' or a parent's early 51 ．But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 52 a sign of rejection or punishment．
In the same way, all children are not influenced 53 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs． 54 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 55 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it．
