　　I ran into a stranger as he passed by．“I'm so sorry!” was my reply．Then he said, “Excuse me too…I wasn't 　　1　　 watching for you．” We were very polite, this stranger and I．Then we went 　　2　　 our way after saying goodbye．

　　But at 　　3　　, a different story is told．How we treat our loved ones, young and old．Later in the kitchen, as I 　　4　　 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still．When I turned, I 　　5　　 knocked her down．“Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉)．She stepped away silently, with her little heart 　　6　　．I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地)I had spoken．

　　That night, when I lay 　　7　　 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 　　8　　 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite…Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the 　　9　　．Those are the flowers she brought for you．She 　　10　　 them herself－pink, yellow, and your favorite blue．She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 　　11　　 in her eyes．”

　　By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall．I quietly went and knelt by her 　　12　　：“Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree．I 　　13　　 them in a napkin, just for you．I knew you'd like them, especially the 　　14　　．” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today…And I 　　15　　 have fussed at you that way．”

　　And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay…I still love you 　　16　　．” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers．”

　　Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 　　17　　 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days．But the family you leave 　　18　　 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives．And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 　　19　　 than into our families－an unwise investment(投资)indeed．

　　I was tired and hungry after a long day of work．When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked 　　1　　 at me and said, “I love you．” I didn’t know what to say．　　2　　 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 　　3　　 down at him．My first thought was that he must need 　　4　　 with his homework or he was trying to 　　5　　 me for some news．Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”

　　“Nothing．” He said, “My teacher said we should 　　6　　 our parents that we love them and see what they say．It’s a(n)　　7　　．”

　　The next day I called his teacher to 　　8　　 more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 　　9　　．

　　“Basically, most of the fathers had the 　　10　　 reaction as you did．” The teacher said, “When I first 　　11　　 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 　　12　　 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 　　13　　．It’s something all human beings 　　14　　．What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 　　15　　 that we don’t all express those feelings．A boy should be 　　16　　 to tell his dad that he loves him．”

　　The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 　　17　　 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say．
