In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 1 a different life. It was a transitional (过渡的) time in Daniel"s life. I wanted to 2 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 3 time I had let such moments pass. When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, "What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked 4 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 5 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 6 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 7 me. Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 8 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 9 ? I don"t find a quiet moment to tell him what he has 10 to me. Or what he might 11 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything. What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 12 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet I always 13 never hearing him put his 14 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 15 to tell a son somethin from the heart? My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. "Daniel," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." That"s all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 16 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn"t understand what he was saying. All I was 17 of was the stubble (短须) on his chin as his face pressed 18 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 19 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 20 . |

On a Friday night I 1 at the dinner table, "My teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our Valentines (情人节) on Monday." Mother said, "We"ll see", and she continued eating.

Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 8 of different kinds.

Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts 13 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a 14 smile spread over his face. "What do you think of that?" he asked. I answered him with a hug. But inside, 15 danced all the way to my heart.

Weeks passed and the 10 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 11 before the holiday break. I smiled in 12 as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David 13 standing by my desk. "I have something for you" he said 14 from behind his back a small box. 15 it to me, he said anxiously. "Open it" I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lift the lid and to my 16 saw nothing I looked at David"s smiling face add back into the box and said.

The old man was seen 1 his flowers all the time. They were so well-tended that every passer-by could not but 2 for a glance. One day a young man went by the garden. He gazed at the splendid garden, 3 in admiration at the beauty of these sceneries. Then, suddenly he 4 the old gardener was blind. 5 , the young man asked, "Why are you busy tending these flowers every day which you can"t 6 in fact?" The old man smiled and answered that "I can tell you 7 reasons. First I was a 8 when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can"t see these flowers, yet I can 9 them. Third, I can smell sweetness of them. As to the last one, that"s 10 ." "Me? But you don"t know me," responded the young man 11 . "Yeah, it"s 12 that I don"t know you. But I know everyone knows flowers and would never 13 them down. I know the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good 14 . In the meantime, it also 15 a chance to me to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us." The old man"s 16 astonished me. The blind man grows flowers and 17 them as a link of minds so as to make 18 enjoy the sunshine in spring. Isn"t it one kind of happiness? I believe every flower has 19 with which they can see the kindness of the man"s heart. The blind man grows flowers in his heart. Though 20 to see the beauty of blossoming, he surely can hear the voice of it, I suppose. | ( )1. A. loving ( )2. A. stop ( )3. A. kept ( )4. A. realized ( )5. A. Excited ( )6. A. feel ( )7.

"Look what l found." Over the top of the paper I was reading came a long object that caused me to 1 . It was a snake skin. "Isn"t it 2 ?" said my wide-eyed seven-year-old. I stared at it thinking to myself that it really wasn"t 3 beautiful, but I have learned never to appear uninterested 4 tired of children. " 5 does a snake shed its skin?" Sarah asked. I also try to seize every 6 to teach my children there is almost something beyond the obvious. "Snakes shed their skin because they 7 to renew themselves," I explained. As is so often the 8 in my family, the original subject leads to 9 and another, until we are discussing something quite 10 . "Why do they need to renew themselves?" Sarah asked. Robert replied humorously. "Because they don"t like 11 they are and they want to be someone else." Sarah and I politely 12 her brother. "We often need to shed our skins," I said to my now 13 daughter. "This snake no longer needs this skin. Probably he doesn"t think he looks as 14 in it as he once did. Like buying a new suit." Of course, I"m sure this explanation won"t 15 naturalists (博物学家). But Sarah was understanding. As we 16 , I knew that she began to understand that renewal is part of 17 and see what we need to keep and what we need to 18 . I was careful to point out that this is a 19 process, not one to be forced. "Snakes don"t peel off their skin when they feel like it," I explained. "It 20 as a natural result of their growth." "I see, Dad," said Sarah and jumped off my lap, grabbed the snake skin, and ran off. | ( )1.A.run ( )2.A.terrible ( )3.A.so ( )4.A.and ( )5.A.Why ( )6.A.object ( )7.A.need ( )8.A.situation ( )9.A.other ( )10.A.opposite ( )11.A.that ( )12.A.accepted ( )13.A.thinking ( )14.A.clever ( )15.A.satisfy ( )16.A.walked ( )17.A.study ( )18.A.remove ( )19.A.forced ( )20.A.happens | B.think B.ugly B.such B.or B.How B.subject B.like B.truth B.others B.pleasant B.how B.ignored B.reading B.bright B.excite B.talked B.family B.add B.difficult B.changes | C jump C interesting C much C.but C.When C.opportunity C.hate C.case C.some C.impossible C.who C.received C.writing C.smart C.interest C.ran C.education C.take C.natural C.begins | D.rise D.beautiful D.how D.as D.Where D.turn D.desire D.fact D.another D.different D.which D.refused D.looking D.kind D.disappoint D.read D.progress D.make D.wonderful D.ends |
