of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped (瞪出)
out of his head. I had invaded (侵犯) his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in

about China. One day the topic turned to saying "I love you". I was shocked to learn that not one of my
students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them."Does your mom love you?"
"Of course," they answered.
"How do you know?" was my logical question. They responded that their moms cooked and always
told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned.So mom"s cooking and
criticizing read out as "I love you". "Then how do you say "I love you" to her?" They agreed that getting
good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes
over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments
with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from
university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but
her mom said, "Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers
and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you."
In my family we all say "I love you" a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having
great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little
words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last
words we say to or hear from those we love.

C. is expressive enough
D. knows much about China
B. cooking
C. getting good grades
D. doing something helpful
B. She loves her daughter and misses her.
C. She is glad that she has more time to herself
D. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
B. Say "I love you" a lot to Chinese people.
C. Say "I love you" as a greeting to others.
D. Say "I love you" without great depth of feelings.
