题型：江苏期末题难度：来源：
she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He
told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she
served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute (聋哑) school. Then she showed the woman the direction and
left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.
She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail
sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing
each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.
Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a
bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, "Are you willing to be my girlfriend?" Galaxy was pleasantly
surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.
As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy
explained, "Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards
life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100％ better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is
still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love."
Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later.
When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ""I"m going to tell your parents I"ll be looking after you well with all my life!" Galaxy was deeply moved.
As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ""This is Kazrim." Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her
in his arms tightly.
He said, "YOU CAN TALK?" It was the same question that
Galaxy wanted to ask, too. The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.

Freda Bright says, "Only in opera do people die of love." It"s true. You really can"t love
somebody to death. I"ve known people to die from no
love, but I"ve never known anyone
to be loved to death. We just can"t love one another enough.

hen sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully
lettered note. It read, "Congratulations, darling! I knew you"d get the raise! These things
