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 (圣经
的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of 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. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn 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 pledge
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 (悲痛), "do you know something I don"t?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well…that checkup (体检) 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 sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
"No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You"re not dying; I"m just starting to live."
B. with Evelyn
C. alone
D. with his children
B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm
C. he was determined to be a good husband
D. she was seriously ill
that went wrong?
B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
C. He knew something about her illness but didn"t tell her.
D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.
B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband
C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before

the car by the roadside, across the street from where she worked, and 2 for her.
As I 3 outside the car window, to my fight there was a small park where I saw a little boy around two
years old. He was running freely on the 4 as his mother watched him from a short distance. The boy had a
big 5 on his face as if he had just been set 6 from some sort of prison. The boy would then fail to the
grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as 7 as he could again, still with a smile on his
face, as if 8 had happened.
When kids, especially at an early age, fall down, they don" t see their falling down as a 9 , but instead,
they treat it as a 10 experience. They have the desire to try and try again 11 they succeed~ The answer
must be that they have not 12 "falling down" with the word"failure" yet. Thus they don"t know 13 to feel
the state which accompanies failure. What" s more, they probably think that it" s perfectly Okay to fall down,
and that it"s not 14 to do So. In other words, they give themselves 15 to make mistakes subconsciously
(潜意识地). Thus they
16 encouraged.
While I was touched by the boy" s persistence, I was 17 touched by the manner in which he ran. With
each 18 , he looked so confident.., so natural.
No 19 of fear, of nervousness, or of being discouraged -as if he didn" t have a 20 about the world
around him. I learned a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson
with me in my many pursuits in life.

| About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children. Instead, I often heard the parents yelling 1 at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a 2 one. We often 3 in the hallway. I always greeted them, but the only 4 I ever got was a"hello" from the eight-year-old girl. I usually 5 to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just 6 their apartment and the little girl was 7 the outside door open for the others. I 8 in the car doing 9 things because I wasn"t eager to be snubbed (冷落) again. Finally, I got out of my car and walked towards the door. The parents were telling their daughter to hurry and get into the car, 10 the little girl was still holding the door, 11 me! I hurried although I was still in pain from my injury. I forgot to tell her how 12 I was for her kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had 13 an old man"s heart. The next day there was a 14 on my door and it was the little girl and her father. She was quite 15 of her behavior and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother standing there too. Her parents 16 me. From then on when we met in the hallway we always greeted each other,in a friendly 17 . Last night there was a heavy snow.

Isn"t it 20 that the small kind act of an 8-year-old girl can change so many things for the better? It is said that good things come from small acts. | |||||||||||||||||
