完形填空16
I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked
21
at me and said “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say.
22
several seconds all I could do was to stand there and
23
down at him. My first thought was he must need
24
while doing his homework
25
he was trying to prepare me for some
26
.
Finally, I asked, “What was that all about?”
“ 27
.” He said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an experiment. ”
The next day I
28
his teacher at my office to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had responded .
“
29
, most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first
30
we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The point is,” the teacher explained, “feeling
31
is an important part of
32
. It’s something all human beings
33
. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too
34
that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be able to tell his dad that he loves him. ”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me
35
, I held on to him for an extra second. And just
36
he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you. ”
I didn’t know if saying that would make
37
of us healthier, but we did feel pretty
38
. Maybe
39
time when one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole
40
to think of the right answer.

Dear Reader,

39 .
For years I have been hosting a program on the

magazine .
Being

to tell him about school and fridship , romance and work , love and everything else . That how I started to write these
45
, I hope that Sam would
46

However , that expectation
47
when
Sam showed aigns of autism (自闭症) at the age of two , He had actually stopped talking before the discovery of the signs . He
48
to communicate with others , even the family members . That was
49
for me but didn’t stop me writing on . I realized that I even

51
what it means to be “diffenet” from others , and learn how to fight against the misfortune
he’ll
52
as I myself .. his grandfather ,did ,I just
53
if
I could write all that I wanted to say in the rest of my life .
Now .

There once was a happy monkey in the jungle. He was wandering all days, eating delicious fruit when hungry and
36
when tired. One day he came upon a house, where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful
37
. He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest.
The monkey tried to eat them, but hurt his teeth. The apples were made of wood, but they were beautiful, and when the other monkeys said that they
38
them, he held onto them even tighter.
The monkey admired his new possessions proudly as he wandered the jungle. The two apples glistened (闪亮) red in the
39
, and seemed perfect to him. He became so attached to them that he didn’t even notice his
40
at first.
A fruit tree reminded him, but he felt the apples in his hands. He couldn’t bear to set them down to reach for the fruit. In fact, he couldn’t
41
, either, if he was to defend his apples. This proud, but less happy monkey continued to walk along the forest trails (小路).
The apples became
42
, and the poor little monkey thought about leaving them behind. He was tired and hungry; he couldn’t climb trees or collect fruit with his hands
43
. What if he just let go (释放)?
Letting go of such
44
things seemed crazy, but what else could he do? He was so tired. Seeing the next fruit tree and smelling its fruit, the monkey stopped. He
45
the wooden apples and reached up for his meal. He was happy again.
Like that little monkey, we
46
carry things that seem too valuable. Letting go of them seems crazy. But
47
: only with open hands can we receive something else.
