To yourself, respect.~Oren ArnoldOne afternoon about a week before Christmas, my family of four piled into our minivan to run an errand, and this question came from a small voice in the back seat: “Dad,” began my five-year-old son, Patrick, “how come I’ve never seen you cry?”Just like that. No preamble. No warning. Surprised, I mumbled something about crying when he wasn’t around, but I knew that Patrick had put his young finger on the largest obstacle to my own peace and contentment— the dragon-filledmoat separating me from the fullest human expression of joy, sadness and anger. Simply put, I could not cry.I am scarcely the only man for whom this is true. We men have been conditioned to believe that stoicism is the embodiment of strength. We have traveled through life with stiff upper lips, secretly dying within.For most of my adult life, I have battled depression. Doctors have said much of my problem is physiological, and they have treated it with medication. But I know that my illness is also attributable to years of swallowing rage, sadness and even joy.Strange as it seems, in this world where macho is everything, drunkenness and depression are safer ways than tears for many men to deal with feelings. I could only hope the same debilitatinghandicap would not be passed to the next generation.So the following day when Patrick and I were in the van after playing at a park, I thanked him for his curiosity. Tears are a good thing, I told him, for boys and girls alike. Crying is God’s way of healing people when they’re sad. “I’m glad you can cry whenever you’re sad,” I said. “Sometimes daddies have a harder time showing how they feel. Someday I hope I do better.”Patrick nodded. In truth, I held out little hope. But in the days before Christmas, I prayed that somehow I could connect with the dusty core of my own emotions.“I was wondering if Patrick would sing a verse of ‘Away in a Manger’during the service on Christmas Eve,” the church youth director asked in a message left on our answering machine.My wife Catherine and I struggled to contain our excitement. Our son’s first solo.Catherine delicately broached the possibility, reminding Patrick how beautifully he sang, telling him how much fun it would be. Patrick himself seemed less convinced and frowned. “You know, Mom,” he said, “sometimes when I have to do something important, I get kind of scared.”Grown-ups feel that way, too, he was assured, but the decision was left to him. His deliberations took only a few minutes.“Okay,” Patrick said. “I’ll do it.” From the time he was an infant, Patrick has enjoyed an unusual passion for music. By age four he could pound out several bars of Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” on the piano.For the next week Patrick practiced his stanza several times with his mother. A rehearsal at the church went well. Still, I could only envision myself at age five, singing into a microphone before hundreds of people. When Christmas Eve arrived, my expectations were limited.Catherine, our daughter Melanie and I sat with the congregation in darkness as a spotlight found my son, standing alone at the microphone. He was dressed in white, with a pair of angel wings.Slowly, confidently, Patrick hit every note. As his voice washed over the people, he seemed a true angel, a true bestower of Christmas miracles.There was eternity in Patrick’s voice that night, a beauty rich enough to penetrate any reserve. At the sound of my son, heavy tears welled at the corners of my eyes.His song was soon over, and the congregation applauded. Catherine brushed away tears. Melanie sobbed next to me.After the service I moved to congratulate Patrick, but he had more urgent priorities. “Mom,” he said as his costume was stripped away, “I have to go to the bathroom.”As Patrick disappeared, the pastor wished me a merry Christmas, but emotion choked off my reply. Outside the sanctuary I received congratulations from fellow church members.I found my son as he emerged from the bathroom. “Patrick, I need to talk to you about something,” I said, smiling. I took him by the hand and led him into a room where we could be alone. I knelt to his height and admired his young face, the large blue eyes, the dusting of freckles on his nose and cheeks, the dimple on one side.He looked at my moist eyes quizzically.“Patrick, do you remember when you asked me why you had never seen me cry?”He nodded.“Well, I’m crying now.”“Why, Dad?”“Your singing was so wonderful it made me cry.”Patrick smiled proudly and flew into my arms.“Sometimes,” my son said into my shoulder, “life is so beautiful you have to cry.”Our moment together was over too soon. Untold treasures awaited our five-year-old beneath the tree at home but I wasn’t ready for the traditional plunge into Christmas lust yet. I handed Catherine the keys and set off for the mile-long hike home.The night was cold and crisp. I crossed a park and admired the full moon hanging low over a neighborhood brightly lit in the colors of the season. As I turned toward home, I met a car moving slowly down the street, a family taking in the area’s Christmas lights. Someone inside rolled down a window.“Merry Christmas,” a child’s voice yelled out to me.“Merry Christmas,” I yelled back. And the tears began to flow all over again. 【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。1.errand [ˈerənd] n._____________________________2.preamble [ˈpri:æmbl]  n._____________________________3.mumble  [ˈmʌmbl] vi._____________________________4.moat [məʊt] n._____________________________5.stoicism  [ˈstəʊɪsɪzəm] n._____________________________6.embodiment [ɪmˈbɒdimənt] n._____________________________)7.physiological [ˈfɪziə'lɒdʒɪk(ə)l] adj._____________________________8.medication  [ˌmedɪˈkeɪʃn] n._____________________________9.attributable [əˈtrɪbjətəbl] adj._____________________________10.rage [reɪdʒ] n._____________________________11.macho  [ˈmætʃəʊ] n._____________________________12.debilitating [dɪˈbɪlɪteɪtɪŋ] adj._____________________________13.handicap [ˈhændikæp] n._____________________________14.broach [brəʊtʃ] vt._____________________________15.frown  [fraʊn] vi._____________________________16.assured  [əˈʃʊəd] adj._____________________________17.deliberation [dɪˌlɪbəˈreɪʃn] n._____________________________18.pound [paʊnd] vt._____________________________19.stanza [ˈstænzə] n._____________________________20.envision  [ɪnˈvɪʒn] vt._____________________________21.congregation  [ˌkɒŋɡrɪˈɡeɪʃn] n._____________________________22.spotlight [ˈspɒtlaɪt] n._____________________________23.bestower [bɪs'təʊər] n._____________________________24.eternity  [ɪˈtɜ:nəti] n._____________________________25.penetrate [ˈpenətreɪt] vt._____________________________26.reserve [rɪˈzɜːv] n._____________________________27.strip [strɪp] vt._____________________________28.pastor [ˈpɑːstə(r)] n._____________________________29.sanctuary [ˈsæŋktʃuəri] n._____________________________30.dimple [ˈdɪmpl] n._____________________________31.quizzically ['kwizikəli] adv._____________________________32.plunge [plʌndʒ] n._____________________________33.lust [lʌst] n._____________________________34.crisp [krɪsp] adj._____________________________【句子学习】请根据中文句子填空。（一）动作描写

It is incredible how one simple act can completely turn a person’s day around. These simple, precious moments are what makes life so special.Julie Bick is a single mother of two lovely children, aged 8 and 10, and she thinks her family is her world. She absolutely adored her mom and dad growing up, and she kept a good relationship with them as an adult—although the stresses of life sometimes got in the way of them spending time together.Unfortunately, Julie’s mom passed away unexpectedly. She wasn’t able to make the memories she would have hoped to, and it bothered her deeply. She was determined not to make the same mistake twice.Then in 2017, just one year after her mom died, Julie’s dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆). The worried daughter was totally overwhelmed (不堪重负的), but she remembered the promise she had made to herself after losing her mother. This news served as a reason for spending more quality time with her dad.Julie decided that the best thing to do was stick together. She and her children, Carlee and Brantlee, moved in with her dad. They wanted to give him the best life, so they became his caretakers. This seemed to cheer her dad up, which was all too essential at such a critical point in his life.This new living situation was not without difficulties, but it was worth it to Julie to be there for her father. Still, the woman was struggling a lot: She was a mother, a caretaker, a breadwinner, and an individual. It could be hard to balance it all.Sometimes Julie felt overwhelmed by the situation life had thrown at her, but she always tried to manage it. She never wanted to show her worries to her dad, because she didn’t want to cause him stress. When she cried, she would wipe away her tears before he could see them. But Julie and her dad were close, and he knew that something was troubling her.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Fortunately, Harold, a garbage man, comforted the dad and daughter with his kindness.It meant so much to Julie that this man would take time out of his day to help her. 心灵鸡汤精选答案【词汇过关】请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。1.errand [ˈerənd] n.(短程)差事;跑腿 2.preamble [ˈpri:æmbl]  n.(做事的)前奏3.mumble  [ˈmʌmbl] vi.咕哝,含糊地说4.moat [məʊt] n.护城河,城壕5.stoicism  [ˈstəʊɪsɪzəm] n.坚忍(精神)6.embodiment [ɪmˈbɒdimənt] n....的化身(体现)7.physiological [ˈfɪziə'lɒdʒɪk(ə)l] adj.生理机能;生理8.medication  [ˌmedɪˈkeɪʃn] n.药; 药物9.attributable [əˈtrɪbjətəbl] adj.可归因于10.rage [reɪdʒ] n.愤怒; 狂怒11.macho  [ˈmætʃəʊ] n.男子汉12.debilitating [dɪˈbɪlɪteɪtɪŋ] adj.(使身心)衰弱13.handicap [ˈhændikæp] n.障碍14.broach [brəʊtʃ] vt.开始谈论，引入(尤指令人尴尬或有异议的话题)15.frown  [fraʊn] vi.皱眉; 蹙额16.assured  [əˈʃʊəd] adj.自信的; 有把握的;17.deliberation [dɪˌlɪbəˈreɪʃn] n.考虑，深思熟虑18.pound [paʊnd] vt.反复击打19.stanza [ˈstænzə] n.诗/歌曲的节，段20.envision  [ɪnˈvɪʒn] vt.展望; 想象21.congregation  [ˌkɒŋɡrɪˈɡeɪʃn] n.(教堂的)会众22.spotlight [ˈspɒtlaɪt] n.聚光灯23.bestower [bɪs'təʊər] n.赐予者24.eternity  [ɪˈtɜ:nəti] n.永恒; 永生25.penetrate [ˈpenətreɪt] vt.穿透; 穿过26.reserve [rɪˈzɜːv] n.矜持27.strip [strɪp] vt.除去衣服28.pastor [ˈpɑːstə(r)] n.牧师29.sanctuary [ˈsæŋktʃuəri] n.庇护所; 圣所30.dimple [ˈdɪmpl] n.酒窝; 笑靥31.quizzically ['kwizikəli] adv.疑惑地32.plunge [plʌndʒ] n.卷入; 参与33.lust [lʌst] n.渴望，享受34.crisp [krɪsp] adj.凉爽的【句子学习】请根据中文句子填空。（一）动作描写

Harold was an extremely nice man who had good relationships with everyone in the neighborhood. He was known all around the block for his friendliness. Every Monday he would visit with the garbage truck. One Monday, when Julie just spent a rough night and swept her tears, her father approached her and said, “Don’t worry, Julie. Harold is my friend. He would like a day with me tomorrow so that you can free yourself for a moment.”It meant so much to Julie that this man would take time out of his day to help her. His kind heart left her with a restored faith in humanity. She knew no matter what disease her father had, it would never take away his love for her. Although Harold had picked up their garbage for many years, he truly didn’t know well about her. But when he knew that the father had Alzheimer’s disease, he would take time to look after them. There was so much good in this world, and it started with simple acts of kindness.
