完形填空

  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 stand there and 3 down at him. My first thought was 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 an 7 .”

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

  “Basically, most of the fathers had the 9 reaction as you did.”The teacher said,“When I first 10 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 11 is,”the teacher explained,“feeling loved is an important part of 12 . It’s something all human beings 13 . What I am trying to tell the children is that it’s too 14 we all don’t express those feelings. A boy should be 15 to tell his dad that he loves him.”

  The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 16 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us.

  When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for an extra second. And just 17 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice,“Hey, I love you, too.”

  I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, 18 it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says,“I love you.”It would not take me a whole 19 to think of the right 20 .

My mind seems always to return to the day when I met Carl. The city bus stopped at a corner to pick up the daily commuters (someone who travels regularly to and from work), a group in which I was included. Boarding the bus, I looked for a place to sit. At last, I found a place near the back.

The man in the seat next to the one I was going for was an older man in a grey suit, well-worn dress shoes, and a black hat like I always pictured reporters wearing, but without the little press card. Seated, I began to read the book I had been carrying, which was Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. The man in the seat next to me introduced himself by asking if I had read any other book like the one I was holding. When I told him I had, he seemed to become interested, and so did I. He introduced himself as Carl and asked if I liked jazz, and I told him that I didn’t really listen to it, and that I liked rock and roll. Waiting for Carl to tell me that I should listen to real music, I was shocked when he just smiled and nodded. He said, "You remind me of myself when I was your age. I remember how my parents hated jazz and how they couldn’t see how I could listen to that awful noise. I bet your parents say the same thing, don’t they?" Now it was my turn to smile, amused with how right he was.

As the bus carried us from one side of the city to the other, Carl and I talked about a lot of different things. The more we talked, the more amazed I became at how much the two of us really had in common, despite the age difference. I haven’t seen him since we parted, but the thought of our connection that day rarely leaves my mind.

       Carl really made me think about how much we can learn from each other if we just break through the blocks between us we’ve got. I mean, I would have never thought before that day that I could have anything in common with someone so much older than I. But Carl taught me that no matter what we are, we are all just people, and that we should make an extra effort to try and get to know our neighbors and people we see every day, regardless of age, race, religion, sex, or anything else. If we all take the time to attempt to understand each other, I think that the world would be a much better place that we could share together, as humans.
