There was a painter who was known for his painting skills. One day this skilled artist met a beautiful woman. He fell in love with her at first sight. Then he showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented（同意）to be his wife.

Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found when he admired her classic beauty; it was as if he was standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being. He expressed his great desire to paint her rare beauty.

“Please sit for me in the workroom,” he pleaded (请求). “and I will make your beauty immortal (永恒的). The work will be my masterpiece (杰作).”

So the beautiful young woman sat patiently in his room, complaining nothing. Day after day she sat obediently, because she loved him and she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience.

She sometimes wanted to tell him, “Please love me as a person rather than an object!” But she said nothing.

Hour after hour, day after day, the artist became so absorbed (投入的) in his work that he didn’t  notice that his wife was becoming weak and unhappy.

Finally when he finished his work, he cried. Because when he turned to his beloved wife he found that she was dead.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “is for Elizabeth.”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me. She showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”， but she lived “on the surface”.

As years passed and I had my own family, I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(宽恕) me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment then little interest and, finally, peace―it seemed that nothing happened. I could not be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside―a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

One morning I was woken by my mother’s angry voice. I opened my eyes and found it was seven forty, so I jumped out of bed and rushed to a nearby bus stop without breakfast. Fortunately the bus started going as soon as I got on it. I was sure I could reach the school before the bell rang.

However, the bus suddenly stopped. There was something wrong with it and we had to get off and wait for another one. I felt I couldn’t  wait and the school was only fifteen minutes’ walk, so I ran to the school as fast as possible. Just at this moment, it began to rain hard.

I reached the classroom with all my clothes wet through. Mr. Smith, our physics teacher, had begun his class. I was always afraid of him. I hesitated（犹豫） for a moment, and then I opened the door.

“It’s you again, Jim,” Mr. Smith said angrily. I’ve told you not to be late, but you …”. Then he suddenly stopped when he noticed my wet clothes. He quickly took off his own jacket and asked me to put it on. “I don’t  want you to catch a cold,” he said kindly. I went to my seat with Mr. Smith’s jacket on.
