Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a 36 because of some small things. And neither was willing to 37 each other.
One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He 38 it and found a man standing beside the door. ―I‘m a carpenter(木匠). I‘m 39 a few days‘ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.‖
―Yes,‖ said the elder brother. ―I do have a job for you. 40 at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother‘s. We had a quarrel, so I won‘t like to see his 41 anymore. I want you to build me a 8-foot 42 .‖ The man said, ―I think I understand the situation. Don‘t worry. I‘ll be able to do a job that makes you 43 .‖ So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.
In the evening, the carpenter had just 44 his job when the elder brother returned. But he was 45 to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a 46 , which went from one side of the river 47 the other! On the other 48 of bridge, was his younger brother.
―Do you know the name of the bridge?‖ The carpenter asked. ―No,‖ the elder brother was 49 .
―OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and 50 ,‖ the carpenter smiled.

I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn‘t be late for! I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries. A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile ---warm and reassuring ---- and I returned her gift by smiling back. ―Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,‖ she said. ―Yes, she‘s special,‖ I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. ―It‘s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she‘s ?the one‘. Jokingly, I added, ―The only problem is that I can‘t figure out why she‘d want to date a guy like me.‖
―Well, I think she‘s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,‖ the woman said.‖ ―My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were tough and we didn‘t have much money. Those were incredible(难以置信的) days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he‘s passed away.‖
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said, ―You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.‖ I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just bought. ―You have a wonderful evening,‖ I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night that I won her heart. 60．Why was the writer in a hurry that day?
A．He was to meet his girlfriend. B．He had to go back to school soon. C．He was delayed by an elderly lady. D．He had to pick up some groceries. 61．What does the underlined phrase ―her gift‖(Paragraph 2) refer to?
A．Her words. B．Her smile. C．Her flowers. D．her politeness. 62．Why did the writer give his flowers to the elderly lady?
A．She told him a nice story. B．She allowed him to pay first. C．She gave him encouragement. D．She liked flowers very much. 63．What can you learn from the story?
A．Flowers are important for a date. B．Small talk is helpful.
C．Love and kindness are rewarding. D．Elderly people deserve respecting.
