Several weeks later，when I __49__ the situation to my friend Ken Hardy，he smiled，“You __50__ a classic mistake.You're stuck __51__ your own way of thinking.You didn't __52__ to be late.But that's not the point.What is __53__ in your communication is how your lateness affected Eleanor.” He pointed out that I focused on the intention __54__ Eleanor focused on the result.Thus，__55__ of us felt misunderstood and crazy.

16【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍作者和妻子约定吃饭，但作者迟到了，于是作者找借口说一个商务会议拖延了时间，但是这让事情更加糟糕了。作者跟他的朋友描述这件事情，朋友帮他分析原因，作者终于找出问题的根源所在。
41．B agree to do sth 表示“同意做某事”。在此表示夫妻两人约定晚上在餐厅共进晚餐。
42．A to one's relief意为“令某人感到宽慰的是……”。根据下文“…I had a good excuse…”可知，此处表示因为作者找到了迟到的理由，因此感到如释重负。
43．D run over在这里表示“超时”。一个商务会议拖延了时间，而“我”会议一结束就立马赶来了。根据语境可知答案。
44．C 根据上文“…meet at the restaurant…”可知答案。
45．A “我”能够感觉到她很生气。could表示“能够，可以”。
46．D avoidable可避免的。很抱歉，但是这是不可避免的。

54．A 此处while表示前后的对比关系，即作者关注的是原因，而他的妻子关注的是结果。
55．C 由后文“…felt misunderstood…”可知是双方都觉得被对方误解。
56．D 作者通过朋友的分析逐渐地认识到了产生分歧的根本所在。
57．B matter要紧，有关系。行为产生的结果很关键。
58．A “我”应该以表达“我”的行为怎样影响了Eleanor开始谈话。
