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 26 a different life.It was a transitional(過渡的) time in Daniel’s life.I wanted to 27 him some words of significance.But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 28 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? Can I do it?” Then he walked 29 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside.The bus drove away and I said nothing.A decade later, a similar 30 played itself out.I drove him to college.As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 31 and confidence as he started this new stage of life.Again, words 32 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 33 opportunities.How many times have I let such moments 34 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 35 to me.Or what he might want to face in the years 36 .Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 37 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter.My father and I loved each other.Yet, I always 38 never hearing him put his 39 into words.Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten.Why is it so 40 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 41 , 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 42 of was the stubble(短須) on his chin as his face pressed 43 mine.What I had said to Daniel was 44 .It was nothing.And yet, it was 45 .

The tragic death of celebrity Wang Bei has made people aware of the risks of cosmetic surgery, which is becoming increasingly popular.
A survey on the reaction to Wang's death, conducted by Tencent, which runs China's most popular instant-messaging service, received more than 600,000 responses, as of press time Monday.Forty-one percent of respondents expressed sorrow over her death, saying, "It's a pity she died at such a young age." Some 31 percent said she should have been more cautious and less vain, while 10 percent were enraged at the hospital that conducted the surgery.The remaining 18 percent were indifferent.
A common thread of online discussion is why someone considered beautiful was so dissatisfied with her looks.Some netizens said Wang was a victim of society's unrealistic ideal of beauty: double eyelids, an aquiline nose and the pointed chin typical of Western celebrities.Others said her death underscores the limits to which people will go to achieve fame and fortune.Young people, see cosmetic surgery as the key to wealth and love.

The surge in demand for plastic surgery has resulted in a rise in the number of unauthorized business establishments and surgeons conducting such procedures.
Meanwhile, experts say, young and beautiful people who still seek plastic surgery need to address their self-awareness issues and be more accepting.
“They’ve built their identity around the admiration of others and fail to establish a system to assess themselves," says Zhu Wenbo, a psychologist with Blue Bay Psychological Consulting Center in Chengdu."People's opinions always change, so this is not a reliable way to evaluate oneself."
