完形填空（一）I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked up at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know 1 to say. For several seconds all I could do was to stand there and stare 2 at him. My first thought was that he must need 3 with his homework or he was trying to prepare me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”“Nothing.” he said, “My teacher said we should 4 our parents that we love them and see wha t they say. It’s an experiment.”The next day I called his 5 to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had reacted.“Basically, most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first 6 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have 7 trouble.” “The point is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of life. It’s something all human beings 8 . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too bad that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be 9 to tell his dad that he loves him.”The teacher, a middle-aged man, 10 how difficult 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 held on to him for an extra second. And just 11 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”I don’t know if 12 that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good.
