Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30.and at 6:30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club.At last,the traffic was moving.She swung quickly racing to her house As she opened the door,she nearly tripped over Sheba.

    “Hey,Sheba,”she said,“I've got no time for you now,hut I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.”Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking Obviously,she could hardly breathe.Immediately.Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet .When she got there,the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba,Dr.Sterne brought her quickly into his office.

    “Listen,doctor,I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting, can I leave her with you,and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up,and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”

    “Sure.”said the doctor

    Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes'.As she was once more entering the hallway,the phone by the door began to ring.

    “This is Dr.Sterne,”said an anxious voice.“I want you to get out of that house immediately,”said the doctor's voice.“I'm coming round right away,and the police will be there any time now.Wait outside!”

    At that moment,a police car screeched to a stop outside the house.Two policemen got out and ran into the house.Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened.Then the doctor arrived.

    “Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?”shouted Joanne.

    “She’s fine,Joanne.I took out the thing which was choking her,and she’s OK now.”

    Just then,the two policemen reappeared from the house,half-carrying a white—faced man,who could hardly walk.There was blood all over him.

    “My God,”said Joanne,“how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”

    “I think he must be a burglar.”said the doctor.“I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat:it turned out to be three human fingers”

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said, “I   41   you.” I did not    42   what to say, and I just stood there, looking  43   at him. My first    44    was that he    45   need help with his homework. Then I asked, “What was that all      46   ?”

“Nothing,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents we love them and   47   what they say.”

The next day I called his teacher to    48    more about what my son said and how the other parents had reacted( 反应) . “Most of the fathers had the    49    response as you did,” the teacher said, ”When I first          50     that we try this, I asked the children   51    they thought their parents    52    say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”

Then the teacher   53   , “ I want my students to know that feeling love is an important part of    54   . I’m trying to tell them it’s too bad that we don’t express our feelings. A boy    55    tell his father or mother he loves him.” The teacher understands that sometimes it is   56    for some of us to say something that is good for us to say.

That evening when my son   57    to me, I took him in my arms and held on for an    58     moment, saying, “Hey, I love you,    59   .” I don’t know if saying that made    60    of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.

 My wife and I had just finished the 150-mile trip home from our daughter’s college. It was the first time in our life that we would __36__ for any length of time. We wondered how other people had __37__ it.

Later in bed, I __38__ the time I started college. My father had driven me, too. My mother had to stay home to keep the __39__ from getting into the crops. I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first to __40__ college.

The truck was slow, and I was glad. I didn’t want to get to the city __41__. I shook hands with my father in the truck and he didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to make a little __42__. He finally said, “I never went to college and __43__ of your brothers did. I can’t say don’t do this or that, because everything is __44__ and I don’t know what is going to come up, but I think things will __45__. When you get a job, be sure to be honest and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be __46__ in the big town and I would be __47__ the life home.

Then my father __48__ the Bible that he had read so often. I knew that he would miss it but I must __49__ it. He just said, “This can help you __50__ you will let it.”

When I finished school I took the Bible __51__ to my father. But he said he wanted me to __52__ it.

Now, too often, I remember. It would have been so __53__ to give it to my daughter when she got out of the car. But I didn’t. My father could give me only a Bible, but now I don’t really believe that I gave her half as __54__ as my father gave me. So the next morning I __55__ up the book and sent it to her. I wrote a note “This can help you.” I said, “if you will let it.”
