Passage One

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.

When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 1 at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. For several 2 all I could do was to stand there and look down at him. My first thought was that he must need 3 with his homework or he was trying to prepare me for some news.

4 ___ I asked, “What was that all about?”

“Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should 5 our parents that we love them and see what they said. It’s an experiment(实验).”

The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had reacted(反应).

“Most of the fathers had the 6 reaction as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first 7 ___ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. What I’m trying to tell the children is that “ Feeling 8 is an important part of health. It is something all people need. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 48 that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be able to tell his dad he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 9 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I got on to him for an extra(额外的) second. And just before he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”

Passage Five

Roberta appeared on the stage. She took a deep breath and began to speak. Now she was Portia, a strong–willed 1 in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. The theater was filled with people. She was speaking with a power she had never before experienced, the words flowing smoothly from her.

2 , Roberta had never acted in her life before the audition （选拔试演）. She 3 being in front of other people. She was very 4 at school.
