Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing well those you hold．

　　Marriage is like vitamins: we supplement each other's minimum daily requirements．

　　Love me little, love me long．

　　After you read the three proverbs above, you can imagine what the following passage is about．

　　To a watching world, Mike and Mary Murray were a perfect couple．They had been high school sweethearts, and 　1　 to have a happy marriage．Mike had a good job, and Mary was able to 　2　 at home with their children．They owned their home and 　3　 kids, two cars, and a family dog．　4　 to Mike, after seven years of marriage, something was terribly wrong．The Murrays had 　5　 their material goals and Mike 　6　 , now what? He began to look to his job for fulfillment and often 　7　 60 hours a week．Mary poured herself into the children．It was so 　8　 for her to turn her focus from Mike to 6-month-old Eric and 2-year-old Brittany．

　　And now the marriage seemed 　9　 ．Their lives were traveling in two different directions．They no longer really communicated yes, they answered 　10　 questions, but they didn't talk 　11　 as they had in the early years of their marriage．Mike felt trapped．I 　12　 had time to do things that I wanted to, he says．Mike did not share his feelings with Mary．Instead, he followed the slippery path of many others he became involved with (與……糾纏不清) a woman at work, who was 　13　 her husband．It began as a simple friendship．I was able to listen and she was able to listen, Mike recalls．

　　Mary 　14　 the battle in Mike's soul．He wasn't home as much, and we weren't talking as much, she says．I was wrapped up in the kids and I just couldn't imagine anything ever 　15　．The situation became worse when the Murrays attended a wedding and began to argue．Mary asked Mike if he was seeing 　16　 and he said, Yes．It's just an emotional (情感的) thing．Mike can still remember the 　17　 of hurt and total surprise on Mary's face．She was troubled, and he knew that he had turned against (背叛) his best friend 　18　 high school．The expression on her face jarred (刺激) him into 　19　 , and he began to understand the 　20　 he was doing to his family．

　　In the early part of the twentieth century，racism was widespread in the United States．Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment．Marian Anderson（18971993）was an African American woman who gained fame as a con-cert singer in this climate of racism．She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood．When she applied for admission to a local music school In 1917，she was turned down because she was black．Unable to attend music school，she began her career as a singer for church gatherings．In 1929，she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there．Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe．

Then she returned the U．S．in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City．

　　Racism again affected Anderson in 1939．When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington，D．C，the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color．She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial over75，000 people．In 1955，Anderson became the first black soloist to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City．The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “head only once in a hundred years”．She was a U．S．delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977．Anderson eventually triumphed over racism．
