I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son 36 up at me and said,“I love you.”I didn"t know what to say. For several 37 all I could do was to 38 there and looked down at him.My first thought was that he must need 39 with his homework or he was trying to 40 me for some news.
Finally I asked,“What was that all about?”
“Nothing,”he said.“My teacher said we should 41 our parents that we love them and see what they say.It is 42 .”
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment”and how the other parents had 43
“Most of the fathers had the 44 reacting（反应）as you did ,”the teacher said.“When I first 45we try this , I asked the children what they thought their parents would say . Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.“The 46 is,”the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 47.It is something all people 48 .What I"m trying to tell the children is that it"s too 49 we don"t all express those feelings.A boy should be 50 to tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man , understands how 51 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening ,I held on to(抱着)him for 52 second.And just before he 53 away, I said in my deepest, most manly(男子气慨)voice,“Hey, I love you ,too.”
I don"t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good(感觉很好)，Maybe next time one of my children said“I love you”，it wouldn"t take me a whole 54 to think of the right 55 .

The differences between men and women"s friendships
Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they"re still sitting on the sofa and talking?
What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that women have so much to share.
Betty shrugs. Talk? We"re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men. Rubin"s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to a female friend.
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women"s friendships with each other lie on shared emotions and support, but men"s relationships are marked by shared activities.”
“ Men keep their innermost(内心深处的) feelings to themselves. " Rubin writes, " Whereas(然而) a woman"s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage. However, a man by society doesn’t complain about his marriage trouble. it wasn"t unusual to hear a man say he didn"t know his friend"s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa. "

It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so clear? This story may have happened not long ago--- but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the needy. We served hot food to whoever came in. Most of our dinners looked like they had been having hard times; their clothes were worn out and dirty. Then, a man came in, who looked anything but needy. He was well dressed. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw (下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station , the more I muttered (小声抱怨). What was this man doing? Surely he wasn’t going to take food which was meant for those who were really in need!
Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, “You have thought that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical, hunger, etc. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those problems. But what if his needs are emotional（情感的）? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings? Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man--- but I didn’t.
About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source. I can’t help but wonder if it came from that man.
Now, whenever I meet someone I remember my mother’s lesson and try to send kindness their way, no matter how they look. Needs aren’t always seen. But kindness always makes a difference.

小题4:From the last paragraph, we learn that ______. | A．seeing is believing | | B．it’s difficult to be kind to others | | C．some rich people pretend to be poor. | | D．we should help people in the way they need. |
小题5:What would be the best title for the text?| A．My mother’s influence on my growth | | B．The importance of volunteering | | C．One of my most shameful experiences | | D．My mother’s simple lesson in kindness |

My husband Ollie had retired from teaching and we were making plans to travel together to Florida. Then he was terribly ill and became very weak, hardly able to speak. Weeks passed and it became clear that Ollie was near death, but I prayed day and night that he could get better.
One of us was always in Ollie’s hospital room—either me, or our grown children, Bruce and Karen. One day, in his broken and weak speech, Ollie told Bruce, “Go home. You should be with Gwen.” Gwen was Bruce’s wife. They had been married for six years and lived hundreds of miles away. Gwen was about to have a baby. We felt an extra sadness, knowing Ollie would never see his first grandchild.
“I don’t want to leave you, Dad,” Bruce said. Ollie repeated, “You should be with Gwen.” Reluctantly, Bruce left. “When the baby comes,” he promised Ollie, “you will be the first to know.” A few days later, around 2 p.m., Ollie awoke from a sleep. He turned and looked at me. I sat close to hear his weak words. “The baby is coming now. It’s a boy,” he said. For a moment his eyes were filled with tears. Then he went back to sleep again. Not long after that, Karen ran into the room. “Bruce called,” she said, a smile lighting her face. “Gwen gave birth to a healthy baby boy around two o’ clock.”
Ollie smiled; he had been the first to know. That night, Ollie died in his sleep.
小题1:Ollie didn’t travel to Florida because________.| A．he was too weak to travel | | B．he could hardly be able to speak | | C．he could not afford the trip | | D．he was waiting for his grandchild to be born |
小题2:Why did Ollie want Bruce to be with Gwen?| A．Ollie thought it was too much trouble for Bruce to stay at hospital. | | B．Ollie wanted Bruce to bring the baby along as soon as it was born. | | C．Ollie didn’t want his son to be absent when his baby was born. | | D．Ollie couldn’t bear his son seeing him dying with a broken heart. |
小题3:The underlined word in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_______.| A．Disappointedly | B．Unwillingly | C．Excitedly | D．Immediately |
小题4:What can we learn from the passage ?| A．Ollie and his wife had planned to settle in Florida. | | B．Ollie cared for his son more than his daughter. | | C．Ollie was sad about not being able to see his first grandchild. | | D．Ollie died happy and in peace. |
