One day when Jack was walking in the park, he saw a woman, who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman.

   Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed.

   "That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal.

   "Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy."

   "And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him."

   "That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't."

   They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite?"

   "No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly."

   Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him.

   "Hey!" Jack shouted." You said your dog didn't bite."

   Sue replied in surprise, "Yeah, I did. But this is not my dog. My dog's at home."

          When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to

my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to

saying "I love you". I was shocked  (震惊)    to learn that not one of my

students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to

them. "Does your mom love you?" "Of course ,"they answered.

"How do you know ?"was my logical question. Some students

answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was shocked. So mom's cooking and criticizing read out as "I love you ". "Then how do you say 'I love you 'to her?" They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.

         I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these questions in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different answers. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.

         One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged  (拥抱)  her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, "Now that you have gone I have more time to myself I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you."

          In my family we all say "I love you" a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth(深度) of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
