After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some     36   with you.”

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been     37  for 20 years, but the demands of my work and my boys made it possible to visit her only     38   .

Then I called to visit her to go out for dinner and a movie. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she had curled her    39  and was wearing a nice dress. My mother took my arm     40   she were the First Lady.

During the dinner, we had an agreeable    41 —nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. At last, she said,” I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I    42  .

Two days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a    43   to do anything for her.

Later, I received a copy of a restaurant receipt from the place mother and I had dined. A(n)    44   note said, “I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates—one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night     45   for me. I love you, son.”

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time “I LOVE YOU” and giving our loved ones the time that they     46   . Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be     47  till “some other time”.

【解析】本文講述了作者一次和母親去吃飯的經(jīng)歷,這對母親很重要,也告訴我們,多花些時間和親人在一起比什么都重要。

1.本題考查名詞。spend some time with sb. 與某人共度時光。

2.本題考查形容詞。結(jié)合下文“我只能偶爾去看母親”,所以她是“孤獨的”。

3.本題考查副詞。句中的but起了暗示作用,句意為:但我的工作只能讓我偶爾去看母親。occasionally表示“偶爾地”。

4.本題考查名詞。curl one’s hair燙發(fā)。

5.本題考查連詞。as if   仿佛;好像。

6.本題考查名詞。由前面的修飾詞agreeable(意為“愉悅的;令人高興的)可知,母子之間的談話(conversation)很溫馨。

7.本題考查動詞。母親提出下次她請我, 我答應(yīng)了。

8.本題考查名詞。have a chance to do有機會做某事。

9.本題考查動詞。attached 附帶的;附加的。

10.本題考查動詞。mean在此處的意思是“意謂著;有...的意義;重要”

11.本題考查動詞。deserve意為“值得;應(yīng)得”。句意為:給我們的親人他們應(yīng)得的時間。后面也有提示。

12.本題考查動詞短語。結(jié)合全文可知“我”懂得了及時說“我愛你”的重要性。由此他提醒讀者“沒有比你的家人更重要的了”所以不要推遲與他們共度的時光到其他時刻。
