He was tired and there were only forty-five minutes to go until closing time at the Rite-Aid where he worked. The store was nearly empty anyway, even though Christmas was right around the corner. It was probably because it was raining.The automated doors opened and a middle-aged couple entered purposefully, wet from the persistentprecipitation. The man was carrying a portfolio under his trench coat to protect it from the rain. The woman was wearing a stylish red raincoat, very appropriate for the holidays, but looked sad and stressed. Dennis offered his assistance.“You print photos, right?” the man inquired with an accent that tipped Dennis off that the gentleman wasn’t local.“Yes sir, machine’s right over there,” Dennis said, pointing past colorful, holiday displays featuring an assortment of gift ideas. “Let me assist you, please.”As the trio walked over to the kiosk that housed the photographic equipment and supplies, Dennis noticed that the couple looked tired and sad.Dennis positioned himself behind the equipment, and briefly reacquainted himself with its functionality. “Okay, how can I help you good people?”The man started to speak, but the words did not come. So his wife, her graying blond hair covered with a rain bonnet, explained: “We have some photos from our wedding nearly thirty years ago we’d like to get copies of,” she said. “Please make them pretty. They’re for John’s mother, my mother-in-law, Joyce.”Dennis smiled warmly at the couple. “That’s very nice. A Christmas gift, huh?”“Well… no, not exactly. We’ve promised her these photos for years, but always put it off. Maybe we were just lazy, or forgot, I don’t know. She always wanted a set from our wedding day, but it just never happened. It’s funny how things get away from you in life.”“Well, better late than never, right?” said Dennis.The woman pursed her lips together tightly and gave a slight nod in agreement.Dennis went to work reproducing the stack of about fifty photographs, but halfway through the process the machine began to overheat. Somewhat embarrassed, Dennis called another employee, Sandy, to the section to assist. They needed to make this holiday gift for this nice couple before the store closed.For nearly fifteen minutes, Dennis and Sandy tinkered with the equipment, disassembled and then reassembled components, until finally, they got it working properly again. The couple never complained and patiently stood there throughout the ordeal, in drippingattire.With only five photos left to copy, Dennis, with a note of excitement, exclaimed, “I just know your mom’s going to be overjoyed to finally get these photos from you guys! I almost wish I could see her face when she opens them up.”There was a long, awkward silence from the couple. Dennis immediately sensed he had said something that initiated the uncomfortable moment, and quickly apologized. “Sorry, I’m being chatty tonight; we’re almost done. Thank you for your patience, folks.”“No, you’re fine, Dennis,” John answered, reading the employee nametag. “These photos are indeed for my mom but she won’t be able to see them. You see, she died this week and the funeral is tomorrow. We’ll put the photos in her casket, cradled in her arms.”The man sighed heavily, and his wife wiped away a tear. “You were right, Dennis, ‘better late than never’, huh?”Dennis asked Sandy to finish the job and he stepped away. The couple had been so patient, so kind, despite the equipment malfunctions and circumstances, all the while dealing with the pain of losing a loved one and right before the Christmas holidays. Dennis wanted to offer some token, some small gift, to recognize their goodness and positive spirit. He wandered down one of the aisles and randomly grabbed a seasonally decorated bag of red, green and gold foil–wrapped candied mints, and discreetly purchased them with his own cash. Then he bagged the item and pushed it aside.The couple approached the register to pay for their completed photos. Dennis smiled and rang up the purchase, and thanked the couple again for their patience, then offered his condolences. They nodded and began to leave.“Oh wait, sorry, I nearly forgot,” Dennis announced. “It’s nothing, really, but I wanted to get you two something for your incredible patience tonight with our stubborn equipment, and with it being so close to Christmas and all.” Then he handed them the plastic bag with the candy. The couple shyly accepted the gift and pulled out its contents. They both started crying.Dennis began to apologize.“No, no, you’re fine,” the lady stammered with a smile. “You see, you just made our night, Dennis. The only way I can say it is you are an angel… our Christmas angel.”Dennis was dumbfounded. It was only a simple bag of chocolate mints.The man explained, “You would’ve never known it, but every Christmas when we would visit my mother in New York for the holidays she would give us three things: a gift card to our favorite restaurant chain, something she quilted that year, and…” He couldn’t finish the sentence.“A bag of Andes chocolate mints,” his wife concluded. Then she repeated, “A Christmas bag of Andes. . . the exact same thing you just gave us.” Dennis could not speak. Out of hundreds of items he could have selected from the shelves for this couple, he had selected the one item that offered them hope and peace and joy and love.“Thank you Dennis; we’ll never forget you,” John managed as they began to leave the store. “You have no idea how much this means to us!”Then the couple departed into the rainy chill of night while Dennis silently locked up the store, turned off the lights and set the alarm system. But not before purchasing a second bag of Andes chocolate mints, an early Christmas gift to take home to his wife.~David Michael Smith  【詞匯過關(guān)】請寫出下面文單詞在文章中的中文意思。1.persistent   [p??s?st?nt] adj.______________________________ 2.functionality [?f??k???n?l?ti] n. _____________________________3.precipitation     [pr??s?p??te??n] n. _____________________________4.blond [bl?nd] adj. _____________________________5.portfolio    [p??t?f??li??] n. _____________________________6.bonnet [?b?n?t] n. _____________________________7.trench [trent?] n. _____________________________8.purse  [p??s] vt. _____________________________9.stylish [?sta?l??] adj. _____________________________10.stack [st?k] n._____________________________11.tip [t?p] vt. _____________________________12.dripping   [?dr?p??] adj._____________________________13.note [n??t] n. _____________________________14.overjoyed    [???v??d???d] adj. _____________________________15.chatty        [?t??ti] adj. _____________________________16.casket       [?kɑ?sk?t] n. _____________________________17.malfunction       [?m?l?f??k?n] n._____________________________18.recognize        [?rek?ɡna?z] vt. _____________________________19.foil–wrap         _____________________________20.discreetly         [d??skri?tli] adv. _____________________________21.register          [?red??st?(r)] n. _____________________________22.incredible          [?n?kred?bl] adj. ___________________________           23.dumbfound          [d?m?fa?nd] vt. ___________________________24.depart          [d??pɑ?rt] v. ___________________________25.overheat [?o?v?r?hi?t] vi. ___________________________  26.assortment [??s??rtm?nt] n. ___________________________27.tinker [?t??k?r] vi. ___________________________28.trio [?tri?o?] n. ___________________________29.disassemble [?d?s??sembl] v. ___________________________30.kiosk    [?ki?ɑ?sk] n. ___________________________31.reassemble [?ri???sembl] vi. ___________________________32.position [p??z??n] vt. ___________________________33.component [k?m?po?n?nt] n. ___________________________34.reacquaint    [?ri???kwe?nt] v. ___________________________35.ordeal [??r?di?l]   n. ___________________________36.attire [??ta??r] n.___________________________37.exclaim [?k?skle?m] v. ___________________________38.initiate [??n??ie?t] vt. ___________________________39.nametag [?ne?m?t?ɡ] n. ___________________________40.cradle [?kre?dl] v. ___________________________41.token [?to?k?n] n. ___________________________42.aisle [a?l] n. 走廊43.mint [m?nt] n. 薄荷糖44.bag [b?ɡ] v. 把……裝進(jìn)袋子45.condolence [k?n?do?l?ns] n. 吊唁46.stammer [?st?m?r] v. 結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地說  47.quilt [kw?lt] vt. 縫合48.house [ha?s] vt. 收藏存放   【句子學(xué)習(xí)】請根據(jù)中文句子填空。（一）動作描寫1 The woman __________________________________________ and __________________________________________.   這位女士緊緊抿了抿嘴唇，微微點了點頭以示同意。2.

When he stopped to rest by the side of the road, a woman came by, pushing a cart full of flowers. The smell of her blossoms so filled the air with sweetness that it seemed to take away the tiredness in his bones and lift his spirits. He had never experienced such wonder from the many blooms of his own garden. “How much must I pay, or what must I do, to have some of your wonderful flowers?” he asked the woman.“Oh, sir,” she said, “take what your wish for.”“What return must I make for them?” he asked again.“Your gratitude is enough,” she said, “and it's a pleasure to share the beauty of flowers with you.”So the man filled his arms with blossoms and hurried joyfully home. His wife and his children were also glad over the remarkable flowers, for they, too, discovered that the sight of them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.In order not to lose his valuable possession, the man planted the blossoms in a small plot of land behind his house. Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautiful—they still performed their fantastic magic.Every day, his children took delight in playing in the yard and always sang and danced around the flowers. They all liked the lovely gift their father had received and even invited many of their friends to share this fantastic magic together. When children came to play near the flowers, the man over and over warned them against carelessness and wild play for fear that they would walk on the flowers and damage them. But the flowers remained strong as long as there was enough sun and water to nourish(滋養(yǎng))them. Nowhere else could the man or his wife or children find such remarkable relaxation from tiredness, such comfort in sadness, such spiritual nourishment as those remarkable flowers provided.With the news spreading and more people coming to appreciate his treasure, the man became even more concerned about his remarkable flowers.Paragraph 1:He was determined to protect the flowers.Paragraph 2:However, the flowers seemed to fade day by day, so the man went everywhere for help.  心靈雞湯精選答案【詞匯過關(guān)】請寫出下面文單詞在文章中的中文意思。1.persistent   [p??s?st?nt] adj.堅持不懈的   2.functionality [?f??k???n?l?ti] n. 功能  3.precipitation     [pr??s?p??te??n] n. 降水（如雨，雪，冰雹）4.blond [bl?nd] adj. （多指毛發(fā)）金黃色的；  5.portfolio    [p??t?f??li??] n. 照片集6.bonnet [?b?n?t] n. 軟帽7.trench [trent?] n. 戰(zhàn)壕雨衣8.purse  [p??s] vt. 噘嘴9.stylish [?sta?l??] adj. 時髦的10.stack [st?k] n.一堆11.tip [t?p] vt. 透露消息12.dripping   [?dr?p??] adj. 濕淋淋的13.note [n??t] n. 音調(diào)14.overjoyed    [???v??d???d] adj. 狂喜的15.chatty        [?t??ti] adj. 愛講閑話的16.casket       [?kɑ?sk?t] n. 棺材17.malfunction       [?m?l?f??k?n] n. 故障18.recognize        [?rek?ɡna?z] vt. 贊賞19.foil–wrap         鋁箔包裝20.discreetly         [d??skri?tli] adv. 謹(jǐn)慎地21.register          [?red??st?(r)] n. 現(xiàn)金出納機(jī)22.incredible          [?n?kred?bl] adj. 不可思議的           23.dumbfound          [d?m?fa?nd] vt. 使驚呆24.depart          [d??pɑ?rt] v. 啟程25.overheat [?o?v?r?hi?t] vi. 過熱  26.assortment [??s??rtm?nt] n. 各種各樣27.tinker [?t??k?r] vi. 笨手笨腳地做事28.trio [?tri?o?] n. 三人29.disassemble [?d?s??sembl] v. 拆卸30.kiosk    [?ki?ɑ?sk] n. 自助服務(wù)終端31.reassemble [?ri???sembl] vi. 重新集合32.position [p??z??n] vt. 使處于33.component [k?m?po?n?nt] n. 組成部份34.reacquaint    [?ri???kwe?nt] v. 重新認(rèn)識35.ordeal [??r?di?l]   n. 磨難36.attire [??ta??r] n. <正式>服裝37.exclaim [?k?skle?m] v. 呼喊38.initiate [??n??ie?t] vt. 發(fā)起39.nametag [?ne?m?t?ɡ] n. 名牌40.cradle [?kre?dl] v. 輕輕抱著41.token [?to?k?n] n. 代金券42.aisle [a?l] n. 走廊43.mint [m?nt] n. 薄荷糖44.bag [b?ɡ] v. 把……裝進(jìn)袋子45.condolence [k?n?do?l?ns] n. 吊唁46.stammer [?st?m?r] v. 結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地說  47.quilt [kw?lt] vt. 縫合48.house [ha?s] vt. 收藏存放【句子學(xué)習(xí)】請根據(jù)中文句子填空。（一）動作描寫1 The woman pursed her lips together tightly and gave a slight nod in agreement.   這位女士緊緊抿了抿嘴唇，微微點了點頭以示同意。2.

So he built a high wall around them. Not feeling satisfied, he even set up rules as to who could enter the garden, how they must enter, and what they must follow while they were there. As a result, children were forbidden to enter and appreciate the flowers as before. For his part, he continued to make sure that his treasure received enough sunlight and water so that the flowers continued to perform their wonderful magic.Paragraph 2:However, the flowers seemed to fade day by day, so the man went everywhere for help. He visited every expert, only to find his efforts in vain. He felt on pins and needles, seeing his beloved flowers dying. One evening, he was wandering on the street aimlessly when he suddenly noticed the flower woman on the same spot where he had met her, giving away her amazing flowers. It finally dawned on him that the flowers were gifts not possessions and that only by sharing could the magic remain and last.
