Last week I was invited to a doctor’s
meeting at the Ruth Hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.
“Frank!” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t 36 , as I knew, but all the time pressing his foot against mine.
My 37 raced back more than thirty years ---to the 38 days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The place was air-raid shelter, in which I and about one hundred other people 39 every night. Two of the 40 were Mrs West and her son Frank.

His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby he has. His“ 45 ”considered of rough sounds---sounds of pleasure or anger---and 46 more. Mrs West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, 47 she had to be of course, because Frank 48 on her entirely. He needed all the 49 of a baby.
One night a policeman came and told Mrs West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She lost everything she owned.
50 that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the 51 ones. So before we 52 that morning, I stood 53 Frank and 54 my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine. After that, his 55 to me was always the same.

One factor that can influence consumers is their mood(情绪) state. Mood may be described ____21____ a temporary and mild positive or negative feeling that is generalized and not tied to any particular circumstance. Moods should be ____22____ from feelings which are usually much more stronger ____23____ to specific circumstances, and often conscious. In one sense, the effect of a consumer’s mood can be thought of in ____24____ the same way as our reactions to the ____25____ of our friends — when our friends are happy and “up”, that tends to influence us positively, but when they are “down”, that can have a negative impact on us. ____26____, consumers operating under a given mood state tend to react to stimuli(刺激因素) in a direction consistent with that mood state. Thus, for example, we should expect to see consumers in a positive mood state evaluate products in more of a ____27____ manner than they would when not in such a state. Moreover, mood states appear able to enhance(增强) a consumer’s memory.
Moods appear to be readily influenced by marketing ____28____. For example, the rhythm(节奏), pitch, and volume of music has been shown to influence behavior such as ____29____ of time spent in supermarkets or intention to purchase products. In addition, advertising can influence consumer’s moods which, in ____30____, are more likely to influence consumers’ reactions to products.

As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter(木匠), is no 41 . Several decades ago he made a mistake – a perfect mistake, 42 .
On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in China. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.
When he 43 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 44 him £20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home 45 .
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, which Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the 46 you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪) had just 47 through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“ 48 I had the money, there was simply no way of 49 those glasses. 50 headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 51 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped (吸引注意) with the 52 of it all, he continued: “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened, 53 for the miraculous(奇迹的) glasses. But the director surely must have 54 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 55 of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

Some years ago, an American policeman found a woman lying near a lonely road. She did not appear to have 21 ,but she was trembling and clearly in a state of shock, so he rushed her to the nearest hospital.

They found that only 36 and 37 kids respectively needed treatment 23with an average of 67 children on "normal" weekends.
