I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I
1 try to be a loving husband and father. Totally 2 . No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a commentator 3 my car's tape player. He was _4__ a passage about husbands being 5 of their wives. 6 he went on to say, “Love is an act 7 will. A person can choose to love. “To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband,
8 our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感覺遲鈍). In unimportant ways, really scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉); 9 on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing 10 day-old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would 11 . And it 12 . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said. That new yellow sweater looks 13 on you. “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and 14 . Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought.” Evelyn's been alone here with the children 15 week and now she wants to be alone with me. “We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street investment (投資) firm 16 I am director; a visit 17 the shell museum, though I usually hate museums ( and I enjoyed it ) ; 18 my tongue while Evelyn's getting ready made us late for a dinner 19 . Relaxed (輕松) and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on 20 to choose love.

科目:高中英語 來源:同步題 題型:閱讀理解
I made a pledge (發(fā)誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would
try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣經(jīng)
的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will.
A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks
that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks
great on you.
"Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but
then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me." We
walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum
though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.
Last night at our cottage,p reparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
" What's the matter?" I asked her.
"Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "do you know something I don't?"
"What do you mean?"
" Well...that checkup (體檢) I had several weeks ago...our doctor...did he tell you something about me?
Tom, you've been so good to me...am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
"No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."
