The message was short. I read it three times: “Hey, Mom, can I come to see you guys?” I wrote back: “Yes!” He said he hoped to make it in time for dinner.

I made a quick run to the market, put sheets on the guest bed and set the TV to record the Warriors’ game, so if traffic was awful, he wouldn’t have to miss the first half. Then I began cooking, cleaning, watching the clock and listening for his footsteps coming up the walk.

It’s called waiting. I’m good at it. When he was a newborn, I’d wait for him to go to sleep. Soon then I’d stand by his bed waiting for him to wake up. I waited, as he learned to do things like walking , talking and feeding himself; throwing a ball, riding a bike and reading a book.

I waited for him to start preschool, primary school, middle school and college.

I waited with dread for him to start driving. And I waited up every time he came home late.

I wait for my son to grow up, but that doesn’t mean the waiting game is over. It never really ends.

Mothers wait for all kinds of reasons—good news or bad, happiness or heartache. But the waiting is soon forgotten, usually, the minute a long awaited child walks through the door.

My boy will be here soon. But if he’s late, I can wait. I’m good at it. And he’s worth it. I will always leave a light on for him.

We have heard about people who have special memories. Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail (细节) of all the events in her daily life.

Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified(确定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory ( HSAM,超级自传体记忆症). It means she can remember every small event-which most people would forget with in (......以内) days-as if it had happened just minutes ago.

"I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old, she said. "That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that every day, what the weather was like and so on.”

Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly "taste” it.

However, sometimes her memories prove (证明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. "When I relive (再体验) memories, the feelings return, too,” Rebecca said. "For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee. "

"At night, I span>have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on, she added. "1f it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep. "

【题目】【2016湖北襄阳短文综合填空阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容及首字母提示,在短文空白处填入一个恰当的词,使短文内容完整、通顺,并将所填单词填写在答题卡上相应的题号后。

I packed, and was ready to leave for my two-day trip. I had been busy with my work. I had made p1for the trip for the last few days, and I expected to get r2 for several days.As I got into the car to leave, my mind flew to my kids.

How to keep in touch with your kids when you’re busy or far away is a dilemma(两难的问题) many fathers have. Men like to focus special attention on one thing for a long p3,but this can lead to trouble. Moving from work to family isn’t always an easy thing. And if you[don’t s4 your kids that you’re thinking about them, they may think that you don’t care.

As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped to t5 back to my house and wrote a short message on a c6 of cards 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, they both said e7 “Daddy, I got your card. Whendid you do that?”

I was moved when I heard these words. What I had never thought was that a small thing hada big influence on my kids. It proved(证明) that they were in my heart. And distance (距离)couldn’t s8 them from their father. To my satisfaction, they feel “love” of their father.This v9 experience encouraged me to continue to do the small things to be a responsible father.

As fathers get much busier and have to work longer hours, they usually pay l10attention to the small things. Don’t miss the good chances to let your kids see how important theyare.

Take a moment to do a small thing for your kids. It won’t s11 small to them.
