My name is Tim. Daddy didn't know how to show love. He went to work every day and blamed (责备) me for the mistakes I had made when he came home.

Once I broke my leg and it was Mum who held me in her arms all the way to the hospital.

Later, Dad pulled the car right up to the door of the hospital.

They asked him to move it, saying the space was saved for the ambulance(救护车). Dad shouted, “What do you think this is? A tour bus?”

At my birthday parties, Dad always seemed out of place. He just kept himself busy blowing up balloons, setting up tables, and welcoming the guests. It was Mum who carried the cake with the candles on it for me to blow out.

When I learned to ride a bike, I asked him not to leave me alone, but he said it was time. I fell and Mum ran to pick me up, but he stopped her. I was so mad that I showed him that I could ride it myself. He just smiled.

When I went to college, Mum did all the writing. He just sent money and a little note about how great his garden looked now just because I wasn't playing football on it.

Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk but always said, “Wait, Tim. I'll get your mother.”

When I got married, Mum cried.

He just blew his nose loudly and left the room.

Daddy just didn't know how to show love, unless—

Was it possible he showed it and I didn't recognize it?

Tim, 20

When I was a teenager, I went to Brittany with my parents. We lived in a lovely house, and the weather was great. But I was 17, and I didn’t want to be on holiday with my parents. I wanted to be with my friends. We went to the beach every day and we went to a wonderful seafood restaurant for my birthday. But I was not happy. What really made me angry was that my parents let my older sister, who was 19, go to Spain with her friends.

Gabriela, 28

I’m from Rome and the summer here is really hot. So last year my husband and I decided to go to Sweden. We booked (预订) a 10-day holiday in Stockholm, and the temperature there in the summer is normally about 20OC. But when we got to Stockholm, it was 35OC! We didn’t want to go shopping or visit museums or do anything — we were too hot. We just sat in hotels and argued all day. We didn’t need to go to Sweden to do that!

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)

My name is Opal. Last summer my daddy sent me to the store for a box of cheese, some white rice, and two tomatoes and I came back with a dog. This is what happened: I walked into the vegetable section of the grocery store to pick out my two tomatoes and I almost bumped (撞) right into the store manager. He was standing there all red-faced, screaming and waving his arms around. “Who let a dog in here?” he kept on shouting. “Who let a dog in here?”

At first, I didn’t see a dog. There were just a lot of vegetables on the floor, tomatoes and onions and green peppers. It seemed that all the employees were running around, waving their arms just the same way the store manager was waving his.

And then the dog came running around the corner. He was a big dog. And ugly. And he looked like he was having a real good time. His tongue was hanging out and he was wagging (摇摆) his tail. He suddenly stopped and smiled right at me. I had never before in my life seen a dog smile, but that is what he did. He pulled back his lips and showed me all his teeth. Then he wagged his tail so hard that he knocked some oranges off a shelf, and they went rolling everywhere, mixing in with the tomatoes and onions and green peppers.

The manager screamed, “Somebody get that dog!”

The dog went running over to the manager, wagging his tail and smiling. He stood up on his hind legs (后腿). You could tell that all he wanted to do was get face to face with the manager and thank him for the good time he was having in the store, but somehow he ended up knocking the manager over. And the manager must have been having a bad day, because lying there on the floor, right in front of everybody, he started to cry. The dog came to him, really concerned, and licked (舔) his face.

“Please,” said the manager. “Somebody call the pound (流浪狗收留所).”

“Wait a minute!” I shouted. “__________________________________.”

1.Opal walked into the store with a dog, didn’t she?

2.What was the dog like?

3.Why did the manager want to catch the dog?

4.How did the dog feel in the store?

5.What did Opal think of the dog? Why?

6.What did Opal probably say at the end of the story?
