I packed, and was ready to leave for my two-day trip. I had been busy with my work. I had made p for the trip for the last few days, and I expected to get r for several days.
As I got into the car to leave, my mind flew to my kids.
How to keep in touch with your kids when you're busy or far away is a dilemma(两难的问题) many fathers have. Men like to focus special attention on one thing for a long p, but this can lead to trouble. Moving from work to family isn't always an easy thing. And if you don't s your kids that you're thinking about them, they may think that you don't care.
As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped to t back to my house and wrote a short message on a c of cards to each of my children. I put each in a "secret" place where I knew they'd find it.
When I called the next night, they both said e, "Daddy, I got your card. When did you do that?"
I was moved when I heard these words. What I had never thought was that a small thing had a big influence on my kids. It proved(证明) that they were in my heart. And distance (距离) couldn't s them from their father. To my satisfaction, they feel "love" of their father.
This v experience encouraged me to continue to do the small things to be a responsible father.
As fathers get much busier and have to work longer hours, they usually pay l attention to the small things. Don't miss the good chances to let your kids see how important they are.
Take a moment to do a small thing for your kids. It won't s small to them.

Answer 1

【答案】preparations；relaxed；period；show；turn；couple；excitedly；separate；valuable；less；seem
【解析】本文是一个父亲的感悟，他认为花一点时间为孩子们做点小事能表现出做父亲的责任感和爱心。
⑴句意：我打点好行装，准备动身去进行我两天的旅行。我一直忙于工作，在过去的几天里我为旅行做好了准备。词组：make preparations for为……做准备。故填preparations。
⑵句意：我盼望能放松几天。与前文be busy with work相对应可知填relaxed。
⑶句意：人们喜欢长期专注于一件事情，但是这有时候会导致麻烦。a long period长期。故填period。
⑷句意：从工作转移到家庭不是一件容易的事情。如果你不向孩子们表现出你在想着他们，他们也许认为你不关心。show sb that向某人展示……，故填show。
⑸句意：当我开始沿路前行的时候，我突然停下来，转身回到家，在几张卡片上为每个孩子写了一个留言。turn back to ……转身回……。故填turn。
⑹ 词组：a couple of几个；两三个。故填couple。
⑺句意：当第二天晚上我打电话的时候，他们都兴奋地说，“爸爸，我得到你的卡片了，你什么时候做的？”。修饰动词said，故用副词excitedly。
⑻句意：举例不能把他们与他们的父亲分开。separate A from B把A与B分开。故填separate。
⑼句意：这个有价值的经历鼓舞我继续做一些小事情来当一个负责人的父亲。修饰名词，故填形容词valuable。
⑽句意：因为父亲更忙，不得不工作更长的时间，他们通常很少注意小事情。与前面的busier，longer相呼应，故填less。
⑾句意：花一会儿时间为你的孩子做点小事情，这对他们来说好像不那么小。系动词+形容词，故填seem。
