Dad came in the midnight. We heard every sound, but we pretended to be asleep.

    Next morning he looked weak and thin, sitting in a chair by the kitchen fire. The light of the fire shone through his long empty sleeve. Everything went as usual. Grandma found something to do in the bedroom. Grandpa went out for some water. Mother, with her back to us, was getting the cakes ready for breakfast.

    But nothing was right. When grandma came out of the bedroom, she walked on tiptoe. When grandpa came back, he said nothing about the weather. At breakfast Mother passed us the fruit and said something, but her voice was too high.

    At last my sister, Lou, pushed back her chair. “It’s your turn to wash the dishes.” But I had washed the dishes the night before. I said nothing because it was not right to quarrel in front of Dad just home with the empty sleeve.

    “It is your turn,” Lou said again. I looked at her in surprise.

    “It is not,” I said because I suddenly remembered Mother had told us to go on as usual.

    “Children, children,” Mother said in a quiet, glad kind of voice.

    And Dad was smiling because he felt at home at last.

Chuck was thirteen when he came home from the hospital. He came home not because he was getting better but because he wanted to be with people he knew and loved when he died. I came by the house to visit him and his family several times a week during his treatment. On most of my visits, Chuck was very weak. But the last time I saw him alive, he was awake. “I have got something for you.” He pulled out a piece of crumpled (弄皺的) paper from under his pillow. “I want you to give this to my mom and dad after I die. You’ll know when it’s right, I guess, won’t you?”

 “What is it?” I asked. “It’s a list of all the fun we had, and all the happy time when we laughed.” I almost gasped in great surprise.

 “Like what?” I asked quietly, trying to regain my calmness.

 “Like the time when Mom, Dad, Chrissie, Linda and me were dressed up as fruits and Dad was driving us to a costume party. Dad was a bunch of grapes and I was an apple, and the others were different things like bananas and pears.”

 And a policewoman pulled Dad over for speeding. When the policewoman came up to the car, she looked and started laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up. And we all started laughing and she said, “Where are you all heading — a salad bar?” Dad said he was sorry to be speeding, but his kids were getting so ripe（成熟的） that they were starting to draw flies. And she laughed till she had to take off her dark glasses and wiped tears from her eyes.”

 Chuck laughed and so did I. The list was full of laughing and fun. What a wonderful gift, I thought.

Why did Chuck go home from the hospital?

A. He had been cured by the doctors.

B. He got better and better.

C. He missed his friends and teachers.

D. He wanted to be with people who he knew and loved when he died.

What did Chuck write on the list?

A. What to do after his death.     B. His thoughts about fear, anger and disappointment.

C. What to do before his death.     D. All the happy time he had with his family.

Why did the policewoman laugh when she looked into the car?

A. Because she mistook the children for fruits.

B. Because she saw some flies around the children.

C. Because she was frightened.

D. Because the children were dressed in a funny way.

The underlined expression “pulled Dad over” probably here means “________”.

A. stopped Dad                           B. punished Dad

C. put Dad into prison          D. knocked Dad down

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36  a different life. It was a transitional（過渡的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to    37   him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the    38  time I had let such moments pass.

When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad?

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?    47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always    48   never hearing him put his   49    into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50  to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world    51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was    52  of was the stubble（短須）on his chin as his face pressed   53   mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was  55  .
