Passage 39

(安徽省合肥八中2010届高三第二次月考)

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.

What I 36 　most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 37 　ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 38 　his family as cold. When we got into the 39 　to go home, his father suddenly appeared. 40 　, he began to wash his son’s　 windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.

I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 41 　me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 42 　or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his 43 　me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44　 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I 45 　him.

When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 46 　. For example, I always return phone calls 47 　and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them I had one friend who rarely called, answering my massages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 48 　: She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 49 　as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 50 　and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51 　at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 　. Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.

Far too often, I ignored their 53 　expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 　. Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 55 　other persons love signs.
