Last summer my son, Eric, left for university in another country. Our once lively house became quiet and _____. I missed him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say _____ or to give him a word of warning.

One of my messages says, “So you told me you _____ your credit card(信用卡). If you don’t try hard to mend your careless ways, one day you’ll _____ and find your brain missing.”

I did get Eric's messages, but most of them were about _____. They were no different from the notes he used to leave _____ the white board when he was at home.

“I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!”

“Money is running short _____ I’ve bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!”

_____, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles: some funny, some touching and some worth _____. He says they will help me understand young men better and keep up with the times.

I read the articles slowly, like a ______ student, with mixed feelings as well—my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my ______.

So I write back. “I’ve read all those articles. I’ll take ______ as a loving son’s expectations towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still ______ enough to accept new things. That makes me feel proud. What we parents lack(缺乏) most is the ability to learn and ______, in both body and mind. Thank you, my son.”

In this way we share ideas and ______ each other, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel my heart filled with warmth.

Hello, I’m Vladislav. For my summer holidays, I usually stay in a country house near Moscow.

Last summer, my dad’s brother gave me a present — a blue bike. At that time I couldn’t ride it very well.

One day I got into an accident. But don’t worry, everything was OK, just some “little” injuries.

That day, I tried to ride my bike and suddenly it began to move very fast. I couldn’t stop the bike. So I fell into a ditch (沟) full of dirty water. When I thought I had had enough bad luck, a girl walked by. She saw the bike and me. I quickly stood up.

“Are you fishing here?” she asked.

“Yes,” I answered. Then I said, “I’m making fish soup for dinner. Would you like to come?” To my surprise, she agreed.

After that we became friends. Now, we often send each other e-mails. She knows that I’m studying in China and she asks me questions about Chinese culture. I tell her my stories of China, and she says she wants to visit China, too. She even plans to study Chinese.

This is how, with the help of my bike, China got one more Russian friend.

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?

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I couldn’t wait to see his new house and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me if I didn’t get A’s in my exams and unhappy with my friends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was.　 Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to try hard to think out things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe.　 We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical(挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this friendly and interesting person now? What had made him so critical before?

The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And I’m happy to be with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
