　　2017届高考英语一轮复习完形填空A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment（预约）into the outer

　　36

　　of Harvard’s president. But they were

　　37

　　by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,

　　38

　　that the couple would finally become

　　39

　　and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though

　　40

　　.

　　A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a

　　41

　　face. The lady told him, “We had a son that

　　42

　　Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was

　　43

　　here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to

　　44

　　a memorial（纪念物）to him, somewhere on campus.”

　　51

　　, because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a

　　52

　　? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded.

　　53

　　their offer was turned down. Mr. and Mrs. Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University that bears their

　　54

　　, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer

　　55

　　about.
