I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too… I wasn’t   41   watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   42   our way after saying goodbye.

But at   43  , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I   44   the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I      45   knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart   46  . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.

    That night, when I lay   47   in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While    48   with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite… Go look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the   49  . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She   50   them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the   51   in her eyes.”

    By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her   52  . “Wake up, my,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I   53   them in a napkin(纸巾), just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the   54  .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I   55   have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way…”

    And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you   56  .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”

    Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the   57   you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave   58   will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our   59   than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.

    Remember that   60   = (F)ATHER + (A)ND + (M)OTHER + (I ) + (L)OVE + (Y)OU.

They don’t act in the    37    waya that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is    38    luxurious (奢侈) for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the     39    .

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there    40    between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She    41    her head and continued to sew the quilt.

“Susan,” she said    43    , “Look at this thread. Sometimes it is    44    , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt    45    . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen    46    , but it’s really there. Love is    47    .”

When they returned from the hospital, they both looked    50    . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother supported my father    51    on the country road.

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.

“Susan, don’t    52    me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”    53    his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and    54    . But from this experience, I undentand that love is just    55    in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Susan Sontag(1933—2004) was one of the most noticeable figures in the world of literature. For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything—to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s,publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review,she appeared as the symbol of American culture life,trying hard to follow every new development in literature,film and art. With great effort and serious judgment,Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.

  Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong watchwords(格言),but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poor-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In “Notes Camp”, the 1964 essay that first made her name,she explained what was then a little—known set of difficult understandings,through which she could not have been more famous.“Notes on Camp”,she wrote,represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’ ”.

    By conviction(信念)she was a sensualist(感觉论者),but by nature she was a moralist(伦理学者),and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s,it was the latter side of her that came forward. In “Illness as Metaphor”—published in 1978,after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities(被压抑的性格),a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact,re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.

    In America,her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California,won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless,all-purpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.

    “Sometimes,” she once said,“I feel that,in the end,all I am really defending…is the idea of seriousness,of true seriousness.”And in the end,she made us take it seriously too.
