In the doorway of my home,I looked closely at my 23-year-old son,Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 1     a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 2      him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips,and this was not the 3      time I had let such moments pass.

  When Daniel was five,I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, " What is it going to be like,Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked 4      the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 5      played itself out.

I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 6      and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 7      me.

  Now,as I stood before him,I thought of those 8      opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 9      ？I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what he has 10      to me or what he might 11      to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 12      as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet I always 13      never hearing him put his 14      into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 15      to tell a son something from the heart?

  My mouth turned dry,and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. "Daniel," I said, "If I could have picked, I would have picked you. " That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 16      ，and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes,and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 17      of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 18      mine. What I had said to Daniel was 19      . It was nothing. And yet,it was 20      .

  Going green seems to be a fad(日寸尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad,we can't really say,but for the two of us,going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

  On April 22,2011,we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 dif?ferent green things,and it also meant challenging our?selves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy,we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

  With the idea of going green every single day for a year,Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

  Over the course of Our Green Year,we complete?ly changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat,choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice,with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter,enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing some?thing ungreen might be punished.

  Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

1.What might be the best title for the passage?

   A.Going green

   B.Protecting the planet

   C.Keeping open-minded

   D.Celebrating Our Green Year

2.It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because .

   A.they were expected to follow the green fad

   B.they didn't know how to educate other people

   C.they were unwilling to reduce their energy

   D.they needed to perform unusual green tasks

3.What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?

   A.They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.

   B.They ignored others' ungreen behaviour.

   C.They chose better chemical cleaners.

   D.They sold their home-made food.

4. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

   A.The government will give support to the green project.

   B.The couple m^y continue their project in the fu?ture.

   C.Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.

   D.Our Green Year is becoming a national cam?paign.
