He made me do that for him. （变为被动语态）

I ____ ____ ____  ____ that for him.

I had my first job at a local diner called the Buttercup Bakery when I was 22. I worked there for seven years and learned so many lessons, especially from a fellow waitress Helen who had incredible self-respect and did what she loved—serving people. She made everyone smile and feel good, customers and co-workers alike.

Being a waitress changed my life. One of my regular customers was Fred Hasbrook, an electronics salesman. Thanks to the newfound confidence I picked up from Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant. But when I called my parents to ask for a loan, they said, “We just don’t have the money.”

The next day, I shared my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I can do more if somebody would just have faith in me.”

He walked over to some of the other diner regulars and the next day handed me checks totaling $50,000—along with a note that I have to this day. It reads, “The only collateral（担保）on this loan is my trust in your honesty as a person. Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make that dream come true.”

I took the checks to Merrill Lynch—the first time I had ever entered a brokerage（经纪业）house—where the money was invested for me. I continued working at the Buttercup, making plans for the restaurant I would open. My investments soured, though, and I lost the money.

After great deliberation（考虑） I decided to apply for a job at Merrill Lynch. Even though I had no experience, I was hired and ended up becoming a pretty good broker. Eventually I paid back Fred and my customers the $50,000, plus 14-percent annual interest. Five years later, I was able to open my own firm.

I got a thank-you note from Fred, which will be imprinted on my head forever. He had been sick and wrote that my check had helped cover his mounting medical bills. His letter read, “That loan may have been one of the best investments that I will ever make.”

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked __36__ at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. __37__ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and __38__ down at him. My first thought was that he must need __39__ with his homework or he was trying to __40__ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”

“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should __41__ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s a(n) __42__.”

The next day I called his teacher to __43__ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had __44__.

“Basically, most of the fathers had the __45__ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first __46__ 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 __47__ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of __48__. It’s something all human beings __49__. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too __50__ that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be __51__ to tell his dad that he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how __52__ 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 __53__ second. And just __54__ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”

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 of the right __55__.
