完形填空
I ran into a stranger as he passed by．“I’m sorry!” was my reply．Then he said, “Excuse me too, I wasn’t even 1 for you．” We were very 2 , this stranger and I．Then we went on our 3 after saying goodbye．
But at home, a 4 story is told．How we treat our loved ones, young and old．Later in the 5 , as I cooked our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still．When I returned, I nearly 6 her down．“Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉)．She stepped away silently, with her little heart 7 ．I didn’t realize how harshly(严厉地)I had spoken．
That night, when I lay 8 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “while meeting with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are 9 to excite－Go look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door．Those are the flowers she brought for you．She 10 them herself－pink, yellow, and your favorite 11 ．She stood there quietly, and you never saw the tears in her eyes．”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall．I quietly went and 12 by her bed, “wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?’’ She smiled, “I found them out by the tree．I 13 them in a napkin, just for you．I knew you would like them, 14 the blue．” I said, “I am so sorry that I 15 them today－And I shouldn’t have fussed at you that way．”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s okay－I 16 love you anyway．” I hugged her and said, “ I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers．”
Do you know that：If you die tomorrow, the company you are working for could easily 17 you in a 18 of days．But the family you leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives．And come to think of it, we 19 ourselves more into our work than into our families－a(n) 20 investment indeed．
Remember that FAMILY＝(F)ATHER－(A)ND－(M)OTHER－(I)－(L)OVE－(Y)OU．
