I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I
1 try to be a loving husband and father. Totally 2 . No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a commentator 3 my car's tape player. He was _4__ a passage about husbands being 5 of their wives. 6 he went on to say, “Love is an act 7 will. A person can choose to love. “To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband,
8 our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感觉迟钝). In unimportant ways, really scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉); 9 on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing 10 day-old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would 11 . And it 12 . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said. That new yellow sweater looks 13 on you. “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and 14 . Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought.” Evelyn's been alone here with the children 15 week and now she wants to be alone with me. “We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street investment (投资) firm 16 I am director; a visit 17 the shell museum, though I usually hate museums ( and I enjoyed it ) ; 18 my tongue while Evelyn's getting ready made us late for a dinner 19 . Relaxed (轻松) and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on 20 to choose love.
