     I  met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospital  ward, where I  worked  as a volunteer. Her
husband,Bill,stood nervously nearby.Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer,she
was cheerful.We got her settled in.As we became acquainted,she told me that how frustrating it was to be
married 32 years to a man who often called her "a silly woman".
    "Oh,I know Bill loves me,"she said,"but he has never been one to say he loves me,or send cards to me."
Bill visited Connie every day.When she began sleeping more,he paced up and down the hallway outside
her room.Soon,when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments,I began spending
more of my volunteer time with Bill.He said he could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife
was dying.
     One day,I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives;how we love to
get sentimental cards and love letters.
     "Do you tell Connie you love her?" I asked(knowing his answer),and he looked at me as if I was crazy.
     "I don't have to,"he said."She knows I do!"
     "I'm sure she knows,"I said,"but she needs to hear what she has meant to you all these years.Please
think about it."
     Two days later I walked down the hospital ward at noon.There stood Bill,leaning up against the wall in
the hallway,staring at the floor.I already knew from the head nurse that Connie had died at 11 a.m..
     When Bill saw me,he allowed himself to come into my arms for a long time.His face was wet with tears
and he was trembling."I have to say something."he said."I have to say how good I feel about telling her."
     I went into the room to say my own goodbye  to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large
Valentine card saying,"To my wonderful wife... I love you."

  If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc. .
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something  just  on  a screen.

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I   36  most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we   37  ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to   38 his family as cold. When we got into the   39   to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 40  , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often  41  me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant  42 or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his  43 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his  44   morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I  45  him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt   46 . For example, I always return phone calls  47  and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the  48  : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger  49   as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I  50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was  51   at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be  52  . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their  53   expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my  54 . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to  55  other persons, love signs.
