  After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.The other woman was my mother, who has been a widow(寡妇)for 19 years.However, the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

  That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother was waiting in the door with her coat on.She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

  We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy(舒适的).My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation about nothing extraordinary but just caught up on recent events.We talked so much that we missed the movie.

  As we arrived at her house later, she said; "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.A few days later, my mother died of a massive(严重的)heart attack.It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.

  Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt(收据)from the same place mother and I had dined.An attached note said:"I paid ibis bill in advance.I wasn't sure that I could be there; still, I paid for two plates-one for yon and the other for your wife.You will never know what that night meant for me.I love you, Son."

  At mat moment, f understood the importance of saying; "I love you" and of giving our loved ones the time they deserve.Nothing in life is more important than family.Give family members the attention they deserve, because these things cannot be put off rill some "other" time.

  To extinguish(熄)different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers(灭火器)have been invented.They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out.Most portable(手提式的)kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires.The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.

  Since fuel, oxygen(氧气)and heat must be present for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire.If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out.Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.

  Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen.This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things.A blanket(毯子)may be used to cover a small fire.

  A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.

  The method that is used to put out a fire depends on the type of fire.Fires have been divided into three classes.Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called C1ass A fires.These materials usually help keep the fire on.Such fires can be stopped most easily by cooling with water.
