Al was a potter (制陶工). He had a wife and two sons. One night, his older son got a stomachache. At first, Al and his wife thought the boy just got a bad cold, so they didn"t take it seriously. But it was not a cold. It was terrible appendicitis (阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that night. Knowing the death could not 1 if he had taken the illness seriously, Al was very sad and was full of guilt (罪恶感). Then his wife couldn"t stand the thing, so she left him alone 2 his six-year-old younger son. Al lost his two favorite persons. He felt no hope in the world and 3 to drink wine. Then Al became an alcoholic (酒鬼). As he drank more, Al began to lose 4 he had-his home, his land and his work. Finally, Al died alone in a San Francisco room.

I know your father was the only one to raise you. What on earth (究竟) did he do to make you become such a special person?" Ernie sat in the chair quietly and smiled for a few 10 . Then he said, "When I was a child, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, "I love you, son."" Tears came to my eyes. Al had not left any money behind, but he had been a kind, loving father, and he left behind a legacy (遗产) of love to Ernie.

阅读理解 | One day, I happened to talk to a stranger on the bus. When he found out that I was from Chicago, he told me that one of his good friends lived there and he wondered if I happened to know him. At first I wanted to say that it was foolish (愚蠢的) to think like that, for out of all the millions of people in Chicago, I could not possibly know his friend. But, instead, I just smiled and said that Chicago was a very big city. He was quiet for a few minutes, and then he began to tell me all about his friend.
