try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical
passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can
choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that
would change.
And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, "That
new yellow sweater looks great on you." "Oh, Tom, you noticed", she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe
a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I
started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn"s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants
to be alone with me." We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell
museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that"s how the whole vacation passed. I
made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about
it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest
expression.
"What"s the matter?" I asked her.
"Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "I don"t?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me?
Tom, you"ve been so good to me…am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.
"No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You"re not dying; I"m just starting to live."

C. alone
D. with his children

School and then church. The 1 in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later
divide into groups based 2 their ages.
One Easter Sunday, all the kids 3 with big 4 about what the Easter Bunny (复活节兔子) had
brought. 5 all of the kids shared their stories with 6 , one young boy, whom I should call Bobby, sat 7 .
One of the teachers, noticing this, said to him, "And what did the Easter Bunny 8 you?" He replied, "My
mum 9 the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn"t get 10 because he hadn"t got a key."

18 back to church. There, mom hung the basket over the hanger (挂钩) and attached a(n) 19 :
Dear Bobby,

Love,
The Easter Bunny

| Trouve sat up on its back legs and growled (吼叫) the words, "How are you, Grandmama?" The audience roared with laughter and clapped. Twenty-year-old Aleck gave the dog a morsel(一口) of food. His hard work had paid off. His dog could talk! Aleck was fascinated with the different sounds of people"s speech. His father taught students who had a speech problem to improve their speech. Aleck paid close attention. Could an animal form sounds into words, too? He decided to experiment with Trouve, the family dog. The easy part was teaching Trouve to growl whenever Aleck wanted. The little dog growled for a morsel of food. Next Aleck moved the dog"s "lips" as it growled. It sounded like "ma ma ma". Trouve learned quickly to stop the growling just as Aleck"s hand moved away. They practiced and practiced until the dog said "mama" perfectly. Soon Aleck discovered more. If he pushed gently under the dog"s jawbone (下颌骨), it made the "ga" sound. If he pushed once and moved the dog"s lips twice, he could make the dog say, "ga ma ma." With even more practice, it sounded like "grandmama". Whenever Trouve said "grandmama", Aleck gave the dog two treats, so Trouve loved the lessons. Aleck tried to teach his dog to move its tongue so that Trouve could say more words. That didn"t work, but Aleck didn"t give up. After many hours of practice, Trouve could say, "Ow ah oo ga-ma-ma?" This sounded just like "How are you, Grandmama?" Friends and neighbors traveled to see young Aleck and his amazing talking dog. Rumors spread that the dog could speak by itself, which wasn"t true. No matter how much Aleck tried, the dog was never able to move its lips without help. Aleck"s full name was Alexander Graham Bell. He wanted to know more about the world all his life. He had many ideas. Some worked; others didn"t. But he kept trying-always learning. One of his inventions was something called the telephone. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day, everyone became more 1 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 2 , everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David. David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的) clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so inappropriately for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 3 . I can still remember he was always 4 a smile and willing to help. He always 5 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He 6 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home. Weeks passed and the 7 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 8 before the holiday break. I smiled in relief (欣慰) as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around, I saw David 9 standing by my desk. "I have something for you," he said and 10 from behind his back a small box. 11 it to me, he said anxiously, "Open it." I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped (打开) it. I lifted the lid and to my 12 saw nothing. I looked at David"s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it"s empty." "Oh, no, it isn"t," said David. "It"s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn"t see or touch unless you know it"s there." Tears filled my eyes 13 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given 14 to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 15 the little empty box set on my desk | |||||||||||||||||||||
