     She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown
haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. Outside, it was pouring so heavily.
     We all stood there just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others annoyed because
nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and
dust of the world.
     Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance (昏昏欲睡) we were all caught in. "Mom, let's run
through the rain," she said.
     "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Morn replied.
     This young child waited about another minute and repeated:"Mom, let's run through the rain."
     "We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.
     "No, we won't, Morn. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tore at her Mom's
arm,
     "This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
     "Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us
through this, he can get us through anything!'"
     The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I dare say you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently.
No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
     Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this
was a moment of affirmation in a young child's lifetime when innocent trust can be developed so that it will
bloom into faith,"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just
need washing," Mom said. Then off they ran.
     We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and they held their shopping bags
over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed
like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
     You may lose your material possessions, your money and even your health, but no one can ever take away
your precious memories. So don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories.
1. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "affirmation"?
A. happiness
B. approval
C. disagreement
D. love
2. What do we know about the mother in the story?
A. Her husband was cured of his cancer.
B. She was strong-willed and considerate.
C. She was in despair and pretended to forget what she said.
D. Her daughter completely understood the situation her family was in.
3. Which of the following may the author agree with?

I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did. On arriving at the beach cottage, I kissed Evelyn meeting me at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, sh e said, surprised and pleased. 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 kids all 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 firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter?” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “ I don’t?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”

It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

1.  From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.

A. with his family     B. with Evelyn    C. alone      D. with his children

2. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ______.

A. he was determined to be a good husband

B. he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm

C. she looked lovely in  her new clothes

D. the doctor said his wife was seriously ill

3. The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?

A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.

B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.

C. He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

4. By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that ______.

A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life

B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband

C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change

D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before
