Tommy’s mother entered and took one of the chairs I had placed near my desk. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were concerned enough to be on time. A look of surprise and anger passed between them, and then they pointedly tried to ignore each other.

As I gave a detailed account of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together, and to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps if they saw one of his spotted, carelessly done papers, I would reach my aim more easily.

I found a crumpled (壓皺的) tear-stained sheet stuffed in the back of his desk; writing covering both sides — not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled (潦草地寫) over and over.

Silently, I smoothed it out and gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then without a word handed it to her husband. He frowned. Then his face softened. He studied the scribbled words for a long time.

At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife’s outstretched hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. My own eyes were brimming (濕潤的), but neither seemed to notice me. He helped her with her coat and they left together.

In his own way, God had given me the words without being spoken out to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the painful outpouring (流露) of a small boy’s troubled heart.

The words written were, “Dear Mummy ... Dear Daddy ... I love you ... I love you ... I love you.”

54. Which of the following word has the closest meaning to the word “disruptive” (in Para.1) mean?

A. terrible                    B. careless                 C. cheerful               D. good

55. What caused Tommy’s failing behavior and schoolwork?

A. His parents’ ignorance of his education.            B. His parents’ separation and divorce.

C. His parents’ lacking love for him.                     D. His parents’ firm administration to him.

56. What helped Tommy’s parents see their influence on their son?

   A. A single sentence on paper by him.                   B. Tear stains on Tommy’s papers.

C. Tommy’s disruptive behavior.                     D. A gray sweater on Tommy’s desk.

57. You can infer from the passage that ______.

A. The teacher said suitable words to persuade Tommy’s parents to reunite.

B. Tommy’s love for his parents saved their marriage and the whole family.

C. Tommy’s parents scheduled their time well to come to school together.

D. A broken family can cause a child’s bad behavior and lack of love for others.
