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 prepare me for some news.

    Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should 5 our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an 6 .”

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

    “Basically, most of the fathers had the 7 reaction as you did,” the teacher said, “ When I first 8 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble(心脏病发作). The point is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 9 . It’s something all human beings 10 . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 11 we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be 12 to tell his dad that he loves him.”

    The teacher, a middle-aged man, understand how 13 it is for us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

    When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for an extra second. And just 14 he pulled away(离开). 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 but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole 15 to think of the right answer.

　　From the very beginning, Martin felt that he was bound up with（与……紧紧地在一起）his lovely little patient. One day, following some tests , Betty gave the doctor a big hug（拥抱）.

　　A few months later the doctor removed not only the tumour（肿瘤）, but also the entire lower left side of Betty’s gum（牙龈）and jawbone. Because Betty was so young, Martin was hopeful that her jawbone might regenerate.

　　Within three months, Betty’s tumour grew as large as an orange, changing the natural appearance of the left side of her small, delicate （ = thin; not strong）face. Soon she couldn’t even close her mouth, and as her eating problems worsened, Betty ‘s weight dropped from 20 kilos to 15. Martin knew from experience that it might invade the brain.

　　The only other possibility was thorough radiation therapy （放射疗法）. Night after night, Betty's father gave her injection, but the tumour remained as big as ever. Then one evening. Morgan noticed that the tumour had begun to change. It was actually becoming smaller! For two months her tumour appeared to be going away for ever. In the coming months, Betty’s tumour continued to appear. She was able to eat solid food once again. Her jawbone was regenerating. The tumour was gone.
