r　　　　 his voice at once.

When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said, “I (31) you.” I did not (32) what to say, and I just stood there, looking (33) at him. My first (34) was that he must need (35) with his homework. Then I asked, “What was that all (36)?”

“Nothing,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents we love them and (37) what they say.”

The next day I called his teacher to (38) more about what my son said and how the other parents had reacted(反应). “Most of the fathers had the (39) response as you did,” the teacher said, “When I first (40)　 that we try this, I asked the children (41) they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.”

Then the teacher (42), “ I want my students to know that feeling love is an important part of 　(43), which means more than a strong body.
