Question

【题目】根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

Why do we always say things we later wish we could take back, and why do we only say the things we wish to say when it's too l【1】 ?

I often think of things I wish I had told my mother. I spent the l【2】 few days of her life at her bedside telling her the things I'd wanted to tell her for years, that she was a good mother and I was proud to be her d【3】 .

My dad was also a man of few words, but he m【4】 what he said. He always ended our calls with "Love you, girl."

Those were the words I would cling to when I learned he had died. I had all sorts of questions I never asked him, b【5】 I never doubted his love.

Now, I have children and grandchildren of my own, and it seems like my husband and I are forever telling them how m【6】 they mean to us. They might get sick of it, but we'll n【7】 stop-we need to say it and they need to hear it. From late December to mid-February, we celebrate 11 b【8】 in our big family. Last week, for example, we phoned my youngest son to wish him happy birthday.

I listened as my husband told our son how proud he is of the man and h【9】 and father that he's become, and what a pleasure it has been watching him grow up.

He ended the call, as always, with "I love you, buddy."

And I shouted, "Me, too! " I hope he h【10】 me.

When we tell someone what they mean to us, we just need to mean it and make sure they hear it.

The best time to say "I love you" is always right now.

【解析】

本文主要介绍了我父母和我以及我和我丈夫孩子之间的关系，以此告诉读者爱要及时表达，不然为时已晚。

【1】句意：为什么我们只在为时已晚的时候说我们想说的话？

根据句意，此空意为晚的，迟的；too后接形容词；迟的late。故填late。

【2】句意：在她生命的最后几天里，我一直在她身边，告诉她我多年来一直想对她说的话。

根据句意，可知是她生命的最后几天；最后的last。故填last。

【3】句意：我为自己是她的女儿而骄傲。

her她的，形容词性物主代词，后接名词；结合句意，此空应为女儿daughter。故填daughter。

【4】句意：但他是认真的。

根据句意，可知我的父亲说到做到，结合语境，此句为一般过去时。故填meant。

【5】句意：但我从不怀疑他的爱。

前半句“I had all sorts of questions”我有许多问题和“I never doubted his love”我从不怀疑他的爱之间应为转折关系，应用关联词but。故填but。

【6】句意：似乎我和我的丈夫总是告诉他们，他们对我们有多重要。

此空应填how引导的特殊疑问词组，结合句意，应填how much多少。故填much。

【7】句意：他们可能会厌烦，但我们不会停止。

根据句意，可知使我们绝不停止；绝不never。故填never。

【8】句意：在我们的大家庭里我们庆祝了11个生日。

根据后一句“Last week, for example, we phoned my youngest son to wish him happy birthday.”我们打电话给小儿子祝他生日快乐，可知我们是庆祝了11个生日。生日birthday，11后接名词复数。故填birthdays。

【9】句意：我听着我的丈夫告诉我们的儿子，身为一个男人一个丈夫一位父亲他是多么骄傲。

根据句意，此空意为丈夫，husband丈夫。故填husband。

【10】句意：我希望他能听见我。
