    　　In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play－writing at Harvard, joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University．I had never before seen a man so tall as he, and so ugly．I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and to make him feel at home．

    　　His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness．They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name．

    Indeed, his students made so much of his powers of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself．My chance came one morning when the students were slowing gathering for nine o’clock classes．

    　　Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teacher as an office．He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around．

    　　He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out．“Tell me what you see.” I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door．Without the least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the window．

    　　As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise．He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he said, “The worst thing about it is that I’ll remember it all.”

    The sun is a star. It is a flaming ball of extremely    1    gases. The surface temperature is about 11,000 F., hot enough to turn every    2    to vapor (气体), but relatively cool compared to the strong heat at the    3   .

        Located about 93 million miles    4    the earth, the sun has a diameter (直径) that is nearly equal to 109 of our ear ths    5    up like a row of beach balls, and a mass that is about 330 000 times the mass of the earth.

        The sun is the original source of nearly all our    6   . It is mostly made of hydrogen (氢), 7    it also contains nearly every other kind of atom (原子 )that exists on the earth. The sun obtains its energy from a process of fusion (溶解) in which hydrogen atoms are changed into helium (氦) atoms    8    extreme heat and pressure. This process creates a great noise, but we cannot hear it because    9    does not travel through empty space.

        Our sun is not even    10    large or bright compared to    11    stars. Stars vary in size from smaller than the earth to large enough to hold a good part of our solar system (太阳系)! The    12    of a star shows its temperature. A star may be red, yellow, white, or blue.

The    14    stars are billions of light years away. Some are    15    far away that if they were to blow up today, their light would continue to be seen from the earth    16    a million years!

    　　I ran into a stranger as he passed by．“I'm so sorry!” was my reply．Then he said, “Excuse me too…I wasn't 　　1　　 watching for you．” We were very polite, this stranger and I．Then we went 　　2　　 our way after saying goodbye．

    　　But at 　　3　　, a different story is told．How we treat our loved ones, young and old．Later in the kitchen, as I 　　4　　 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still．When I turned, I 　　5　　 knocked her down．“Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉)．She stepped away silently, with her little heart 　　6　　．I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地)I had spoken．

    　　That night, when I lay 　　7　　 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 　　8　　 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite…Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the 　　9　　．Those are the flowers she brought for you．She 　　10　　 them herself－pink, yellow, and your favorite blue．She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 　　11　　 in her eyes．”

    　　By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall．I quietly went and knelt by her 　　12　　：“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'd like them, especially the 　　14　　．” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today…And I 　　15　　 have fussed at you that way．”

    　　And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay…I still love you 　　16　　．” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers．”

    　　Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 　　17　　 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days．But the family you leave 　　18　　 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives．And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 　　19　　 than into our families－an unwise investment(投资)indeed．

    　　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．　　2　　 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 　　3　　 down at him．My first thought was that he must need 　　4　　 with his homework or he was trying to 　　5　　 me for some news．Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”

    　　“Nothing．” He said, “My teacher said we should 　　6　　 our parents that we love them and see what they say．It’s a(n)　　7　　．”

    　　“Basically, most of the fathers had the 　　10　　 reaction as you did．” The teacher said, “When I first 　　11　　 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say．Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble．” “The 　　12　　 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 　　13　　．It’s something all human beings 　　14　　．What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 　　15　　 that we don’t all express those feelings．A boy should be 　　16　　 to tell his dad that he loves him．”

    　　I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good．Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think o f the right 　　20　　．
