I had worked that day, as a nurse. Now I faced the dirty supper dishes. I wanted to  1  why Jimmy hadn’t phoned as usual to say “Good night” to Bob and Tom. “Maybe Daddy's    2  working on an accident,” I said to Bob. “Go to    3   now. You'll see him in the morning.” Soon there was a knock at the door. “There   4   be something wrong with your phone,” my neighbor told me. “The City Police Station wants you to   5 .”
I went into the living room and dialed. Then I  6   the words every police wife fears (害怕): “Your husband has been hurt.” When I reached the hospital, my heart sank (下沉). The entrance was jammed with TV-news trucks. In the   7  I saw Jimmy’s best friend, Smith. “Just tell me -is he alive ?” I asked.
Smith  8  and didn’t answer. Then I found my younger sister, Mandy. “He’s  9 .” she told me, and we began to cry together.
Later, Smith told me   10   had happened.
In the morning, when my little Bob asked, “Where’s Daddy?” I    11    him into my arms and tried to explain. “A bad man   12   Daddy last night.” I said. “Daddy can’t come home any more. He’s in heaven(天堂) now.”
My son looked at me, his blue eyes    13  the picture of trust(相信). “Do they have    14   in heaven ?” he asked. “Can I call him ?”
“No, Bob, Daddy still loves you, but Daddy can’t   15 ”.

I won’t forget her advice
I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights（见解）with us.
The class was nearly over. She said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you an important thought.”
“Each of us is put here on Earth to learn, share, love, enjoy and give all by ourselves. We must make the best of every single day.”
Her eyes were beginning to water and she went on, “So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see — it could be a nice smell — perhaps of freshly baked bread, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly blowing the leaves in the trees.”
“Please look for these things, and love them. For, although it may seem common, these things are the stuff（素材）of life. They are the little things we are put here on Earth to enjoy. They are the things we often take for granted. We must make it a point to notice them, for at any time it can all be taken away.”
The class was completely quiet. We picked up our books and went out of the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole term.
I usually think of that teacher and try to enjoy all of those things that we sometimes overlook (忽略).
Take notice of something special you see during your lunch hour today. Walk barefoot along the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret（后悔）, but the things we didn’t do.
【小题1】What happened to the teacher’s husband?

I found out that sometimes doing someone a favor could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me said something to me, but I didn’t understand. So I got closer to her and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers could not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test paper had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the classroom when all the other students were out. Then she began to talk to me about honesty and emphasized(重点强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had talked to me about all those things.
The next day, I realized that the teacher thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but she said it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen when she talked to me after the test. She continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.
