he didn"t wait for me to get my salad before he dove into his?"
True enough, the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild. Without manners, we"re no more
than animals. Actually, that"s not true. I"ve been watching and feeding a group of wild cats, and they show
unusual politeness toward each other. Even when food is scarce, they take turns, leaving at least a small part
for the next in line.
My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time. We were made to feel very
uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please, thank you, pardon
me, and I"m sorry. And I have to say, while it was a painful learning experience, it was one of the most
valuable.
I can"t tell you how often I sat with my friends, eating at their dinner tables, and their parents thought highly
of my good manners. While it was a little embarrassing, I knew even then that my mother"s teachings were
paying off.
Many years later, when I was attending seminars across the country, my manners were quite useful.
While I regret that I haven"t been a perfect example, I"m still working on it. I suppose, in this regard, my
mother lives on through me. I didn"t have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes, but she did make sure
I received one of her finest characteristics.
B. Her son"s not having a healthy diet.
C. Her son"s not having good table manners.
D. Teenagers" not having good manners.
B. not delicious
C. not enough
D. quite hot
B. never punished her children
C. had beautiful blue eyes
D. was not good at singing
B. Painful and valuable
C. Easy but useless
D. Too horrible
B. is not satisfied with most people"s manners around her
C. thinks she has been a perfect example to the young
D. thanks her mother for teaching her the good manners a lot

"The rest of the family is home, where it"s 1 ."
Just another one of his 2 ideas-a big tamale (玉米粉蒸肉) feast after tonight"s Christmas Eve service
at the church-and look where it landed him: waiting in a line 50 people deep.
Who would have guessed that the tamale in every shop in the city would be sold out the day before
Christmas? But they 3 , as Carl knew. He had been driving all over El Paso that morning. 4 to bring
home tamales, Carl tried one last shop, an old favorite out in Canutillo.
When he arrived, a fresh batch (一炉) was 5 off the steamer in 45 minutes. 6 at the end of the
snaking line of tamale-seekers, he watched the woman in front of him 7 her jacket to cover her shivering
youngster. It wasn"t long before she, too, 8 in the biting wind. After only a moment"s 9 , Carl took off
his own jacket and offered it to the 10 mother.
Together, they 11 when the line slowly moved forward at last, and smiling people exited the shop carrying
steamy bags. 12 , Carl got inside the door and 13 closer to the counter, the woman now first in line. "Sorry
folks," the clerk announced, "that"s the last of the tamales." " 14 !" Carl groaned (抱怨) with everyone else 15
behind him.
" 16 ," stressed the man at the counter, "we"ll have a final batch ready 17 , oh, about two hours."
Defeated, Carl backed away,but the young mother grabbed his arm.
"You"re leaving?"
"I 18 ," Carl glanced at his watch. "I promised to put up luminarias (传统圣诞灯) at my church."
"I"ll get your order of tamales and bring them to your house."
Carl"s brow furrowed "I couldn"t ask you to do that."
"But it"s 19 I can do. You lent me your coat." Her smile overrode (推翻) his objections. "Just give me
your address." She and her little girl settled in for the long wait.
And at 20 noon on Christmas Eve,they delivered four dozen fragrant tamales-along with Carl"s brown
jacket-to his home.

| 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 . | |||||||||
