  I am a sales representative and travel all over England to visit my customers.One cold February morning I was due to visit a store at 9 am.I   1   my car, bundled my scarf around me and   2   up the street towards his shop front.

  The Street where his store was   3   was partially blocked by two large, ruddy faced workmen who were teaing up the concrete.I prepared myself for the   4   cat calls(起哄).I was up early, out in the cold, and probably to be seen as a funny scene by two men I didn't even   5  

  Then I stopped and   6  my own father.Both he and my grandfather had   7   much of their early careers working outside in similar jobs before they   8   and became engineers.I recalled how hard Dad worked, in all kinds of   9  ; how he'd come home with sunburn or frostnip(冻伤).I realized that if was cold then these two guys were probably   10  , given that it looked as though they'd already been  11  for hours.

  My customer's shop wasn't open yet but I was beyond being annoyed at his   12  .I Went to a coffee sh、op around the comer,   13   myself a hot chocolate, then two more with whipped cream.I made my   14   down the Street to wards the workmen.One of them turned to me with a wide smile and   15   me with a joking "Oh lovey,you shouldn't have! " To his   16  , I passed him the tray with the two   17   chocolates.I replied, "Maybe not.  18   it's too cold to be working outside today。"

  I got two looks of genuine(真诚的)   19  , and a timely reminder that it's as easy to be   20   as it is to pre-judge-but the former is so much nicer!

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
