Mary seemed to be at a loss as to what is to live. One day the Spirit of Life came to her.
“What do you call the fullness of life?” the Spirit asked. “Oh, I can't tell you, if you don't know,” she said.“Many words are 21 to define it — love and sympathy are those in commonest 22 , but I’m not even sure that they are the 23 ones, and so few people really know what they 24 .”
“You were married,” said the Spirit, “yet you didn’t find the fullness of life in your marri- age?”
“Oh, no,” Mary replied,“my marriage was a very incomplete affair.”
“And yet you were fond of your 25 ?”
“You’ve hit upon the 26 word; I was fond of him, yes, just as I was fond of my grandmother and the house I was born in. Oh, I was fond of him, and we were counted a very happy 27 . But I’ve sometimes thought that a woman’s nature is like a great house full of rooms: there is the hall, through which everyone passes, going in and out; the drawing-room, where one 28 formal visits; the sitting-room, where the family members come and go; but beyond that, far beyond, are other rooms, the handles of whose doors perhaps are never 29 ; no one knows the way to them, no one knows where they lead; and in the innermost room, the soul sits 30 and waits for a footstep that never comes.”

Nobody wants to appear fat. Many girls who care too much about their self-image(个人形象) choose to eat less food to 26 themselves from gaining weight. Some even take medicine to achieve their goals.

In Twain, many people know what a “motorpool” means. It is 36 known as a place for the maintenance(维修)of official business and government cars. 37 it is a place for vehicle maintenance.
More than ten years ago I came to America on business and I took advantage of the 38 to visit my friend. My friend drove a car to 39 me at the airport, and took me to his home. Out of the 40 , my friend drove his car into the innermost 41 , which had a sign “carpool only”. I 42 what “carpool” meant. I felt doubted whether he was going to a motorpool. 43 I thought myself clever in asking:
“Is there anything wrong with the car?”
“Nothing. 44 ?” said he.
“Well then, why are you going to carpool?” I 45 .
My friend couldn’t help 46 and told me that“carpool”refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more 47 can drive in. I felt rather embarrassed on 48 that.
After dinner, my friend’s neighbor came over to ask whether he 49 “carpool” the next day. “ 50 ,” my friend said, “I will accompany my friend to go shopping tomorrow.” I was 51 again, wondering why he could not “carpool” with him since we had “carpooled” 52 . My friend explained to me again that the “carpool” that his neighbor 53 meant they in turn drove the car to work so as to save energy. The first “carpool” is a noun, 54 the second “carpool” is a verb. It is really 55 for newcomers in America to understand it in a short time.
