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 　31 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 32 our way after saying goodbye.

But at 33 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 　34 the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 　35 knocked her down.“Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 36 . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.

That night, when I lay 　37 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “ While 　38 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 39 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 　40 them herself--- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the 　41 in her eyes.”

By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt(跪) by her 42 . “ 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 　43 them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the 44 .” I said, “ I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I 　45 have fussed( 大惊小怪) at you that way…”

And she whispered, “ Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you 46 . ” I hugged her and said, “ I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”

Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 47 　you are working for could easily replace(取代) you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 　48 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 　49 than into our families---- an unwise investment(投资) indeed.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　It was midnight in Paris we were rolling toward the Avenue Bosguet．As we came to the Pont Alexandre Ⅲ，the taxi slowed down，for the traffic light was red against us，and then without stopping ，we sailed through the red light in a sudden burst of speed．The Same performance was repeated at the Alma Bridge．As l paid the driver，I asked him why he had driven through two red lights．

　　“You ought to be ashamed of yourself ，breaking the law and endangering your life that way，” I protested．

　　He looked at me，astonished．“Ashamed of myself？I am a law-abiding (守法的)citizen and have no desire to get killed either．”He cut me off before I could protest．“No，just listen to me before you complain．What did I do？Went through a red light．Well，did you ever stop to consider what a red light is，what it means？”

　　“Certainly，”I replied:“It's a stop signal and means that traffic is rolling in the opposite direction．”

　　“Half-right，”said the driver,“but incomplete．It is only an automatic (自动的)stop signal．And it does not mean that there is cross traffic．Did you see any cross traffic during our trip？Of course not．I slowed down at the light，looked carefully to the right and to the left．Not another car on the streets at this hour．Well，then！What would you have me do？Should l stop like a stupid animal because an automatic，brainless machine turns red every forty seconds？No，sir，” he shouted．“I am a man，not a machine．I have eyes and a brain and judgment，given me by God．Ashamed of myself，you say？I would only be ashamed of myself if I let those blinking lamps do my thinking for me．Good night，sir．”

　　Is this bad，is this good？Frankly I no longer am sure．
