When did you last say “I love you” to your father? If you can’t remember, then you can get the chance this Father’s Day on June 19.

Generally compared to(與……相比) a mother’s gentle love, a father represents qualities such as independence(獨立), confidence, courage and adventure(冒險).

Also, caring fathers help their children get along with others. Fathers can lead their children into their social circle(社交圈). They can also teach them how to behave and control their feelings.

For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn’t like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members.(83) “My ability of leading and cooperating(合作) became better through games.” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.

US actor Will Smith said that his father taught him important lessons through small things. His father once planned to tear(拆) down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You didn’t try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on TV show.

(84)“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters”, British poet George Herbert once said. Do you agree?

A.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容簡要回答問題。

What is the diffidence between mother’s love and father’s love?

1.

What can father help their children?

2.

B.將短文中劃線的句子譯成漢語。

3.
