The Make-up Guy
Dave was a make-up (化妆) artist who regularly held makeup artistry classes at the local community college. He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually, the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives, who wanted to fine-tune their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive. But this time, it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry. He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible. He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably, the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.
Speculations (猜测) quickly started to spread. Why did he learn make-up? Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor’s youngest daughter? Why on earth would he attend such a woman class? Who could it be?
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area, which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man’s intentions.
Throughout the lessons, ignoring the curious women around him, the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned, leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end, the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer, for they knew it was time to remove their doubts, otherwise …
Finally, one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make-up artistry.
What followed was a dead silence. After what seemed a century, he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.
Paragraph 1:
He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes (糖尿病) and she was no longer able to apply her make-up.

Paragraph 2:
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes and she was no longer able to apply her make-up. Fearing being laughed at, she locked herself in her room, abandoning herself to great grief. She was absolutely beautiful even without make-up. But what upset her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without make-up. Sensing her loneliness in a colorless-world, I was also at a loss as to what to do. Once informed of this class, I determined to learn make-up without hesitation, hoping to make a difference.
So he decided to take the course to surprise her. Without a pause, he shared his story. He mastered a wide range of practical skills, allowing him to help her take on a new look. Surely, being enveloped by an atmosphere of love, his beloved wife at present was deeply affected. “I not only want to learn how to apply her make-up, I want her to wear the most beautiful make-up so her inner beauty also shines on the outside.” he announced, “It is her smile that touches most my heart, not the make-up.”
