IV. 阅读理解（共15小题， 每小题2分，共30分）

A

When Andrew was preparing for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous as he thought about the upcoming showdown(摊牌). What if Mr. Larchmont refused his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and succeeded in winning a contract which was difficult to get for Barer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he should get a salary raise．

The thought of walking into Mr. Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally brave enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一贯节省的) Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!

Andrew arrived home that evening----despite breaking all city and state speed limits----to a beautiful table. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured out someone from the office had told her the news．

Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations，my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina Was．

After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he noticed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you how much I love you though you did not get the increase.”

Suddenly tears welled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work．

The fear of rejection is often softened and we can face almost any difficulty when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure．

56. What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?

A. To request a wage increase from his boss． B. To get a promotion

C. To celebrate his success D. To ask his boss to come for dinner．

57. On his way home, Andrew was ______.

A. nervous B. relaxed C. excited
