A

Everything was put neatly into my suitcase. I’m a flight attendant. I’m so organized, my half of the closet could be a display at The Container Store. My husband’s half of the closet? Just thinking about it made my head ache. I carried my suitcase downstairs. Bill was in the kitchen cooking. Looking at the messy kitchen, I shouted, “Why do you have to be so messy?” Bill looked hurt, “What?” I sighed and left for the airport.

On my last flight, an elderly couple had the seats in my section. They held hands during takeoff. Later I caught them looking into each other’ S eyes. Something about that look was familiar. Then I realized: it was the look Bill and I had worn in our wedding photographs. I couldn’t resist asking them about the secret of their long-lasting marriage. “Have fun together”， the man said, “and never take each other for granted.”

Her words circled in my head long after we landed. Bill wasn’t perfect. But then, was I? I kept complaining about his messiness and forgot his kindness, his ability to see the bright side of every situation 一 qualities that ran so much deeper, the reasons I had married him in the first place.

I took out my cell phone and called Bill. “I miss you already.” I said. “I miss you too, Kim，” he said. As soon as my flights were over, I rushed home. Bill met me at the door. “I have a surprise for you.” he said and led me into the kitchen. I glanced around the room. He really had worked hard. In spite of the fingerprints on that microwave door, I could see our reflection in it: my husband and I, our smiles glowing with love for each other, just like in our wedding photos.

56. Why did Kim get so angry with her husband?

A. She found his weaknesses one morning. B. She didn’t love him any more.

C. He left things in an untidy state. D. He turned a deaf ear to her complaints.

57. What’s special about the old couple?

A. They never quarreled with each other. B. They often made fun of each other.

C. They kept their love so fresh. D. They took each other for granted.

58.Kim changed her attitude towards her husband after _____.

A. she realized Bill wasn’t perfect B. she got inspired
