I was packed and ready to leave for my two days’ trip. My mind had been filled with work and with so many small things to deal with. As I got into the car to leave, my thoughts turned to my children. I’d been preparing for the trip for the last few days, and now I’d be away for a few days.
How to keep in touch with you r kids during busy time is often a father’s problem. Men tend to focus on one thing extremely well for long periods, but this can lead to trouble. Shifting(移开) from work to your family life isn"t always the easiest thing to do. And if you don’t show your kids that you’re thinking about them, they may think that you are not.
As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped the car and turned around. I drove back to my house, found a couple of cards, and wrote a short message to each of my children. I put each in a “secret” place where I knew they’d find it.
When I called the next night, it was clear that they’d received the cards. “Daddy, I got your card,” they both said excitedly. “When did you do that?”
My heart was warmed when I heard this. It was such a small thing. But it had a big impact(影响) on my kids. It was their “proof” that I was thinking about them. And it was encouragement for me to continue to do the small things that have a big impact.

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner. 36 woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but my work had made 37 impossible to visit her very often. That night I called to 38 her to go out for dinner.“What’s wrong? Are you 39 ?”she asked. “I thought that it would be 40 to spend some time with you. Just the two of us,”I answered. She thought about it 41 moment, and agreed.
That Friday after work, 42 I drove to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I 43 that, she, too, seemed to be 44 about our date. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to 45 her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that, 46 not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there 47 at me. A nostalgic(怀旧的)smile was 48 her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an) 49 conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life.
A few days 50 , my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do 51 for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note 52 “You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the 53 dinner. I love you, Son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your 54 . Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be 55 till“some other time”.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and p lace. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
小题1:The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.| A．a friend who is ill | B．a ma n working at his desk | | C．a person having lost a close friend | D．a stranger who looks somewhat worried |
小题2:G eorge Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.| A．cheerfulness | B．cleverness | C．ability | D．politeness |
小题3:The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____. | A．made him laugh | B．shown concern for him | | C．made fun of him | D．given him some kind of warning |

The son answered, “I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a 42 that reaches to the middle of the garden and they have a stream that has no 43 .

The rumors had been spreading for months but it still came as a shock when the hospital would be closing. It had served this poor neighborhood for nearly 100 years but it would close because of the health care crisis.
The day after the announcement co-workers found out that pretzels(椒盐饼干) had been eliminated. Soft pretzels are the lifeblood of this city. So losing access to soft pretzels is no small matter.
 I said, “I only have $6. I’m not sure how many pretzels I need. You see, I work at a hospital and it’s closing and they stopped selling pretzels.” The man’s smile disappeared. “What hospital?” “Oh, Northeastern Hospital.”
The guy looked deeply shocked. “I used to sell medical supplies and that was one of my hospitals.” Then he turned around and grabbed a box of 25 pretzels and slid them across the counter.
I was surprised by his generosity and started to reach for my wallet, “Oh I can pay. Please let me …” The guy smiled, “Just tell them Joe Sullivan said to do something nice for someone else.”
And so that day everyone in medical records was treated to a soft pretzel. Word spread fast as people came asking, “Is it really true?” It was as if I’d carried in a box of gold. It mattered to them that a stranger cared.

小题2:Why did the author decide to buy pretzels for his co-workers? | A．To show his generosity. | B．To make them feel less sad. | | C．To show his thanks to them. | D．To encourage them to work hard. |
