Unit 1 单元话题阅读理解专项练习
（2022·吉林通化·高二期末）You have the ability to decide whether you are happy or not. Happiness is a
choice.
You can’t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early in my marriage. I
realized that I couldn’t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on
myself and not my husband’s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within, and it can’t be forced by outside force. So
how do you choose happiness The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit (一套衣服).
You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in your life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn’t buy a
pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’t fit well, right So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings
that don’t make us feel good
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial.
We choose our feelings; no one else can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions — we are
giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check(制约)and not to react(反应)immediately to what is thrown at us. We
need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch(使转变)your thoughts
and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t dwell on (细
想)what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way.
Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

（2022·黑龙江·双鸭山一中高二期末）Expressing emotions is difficult as it's not always encouraged in
society. People rely on comfort zones and a secure mask to get them through the day. You may wonder, "Why am
I so sad " and not know how to answer that question. We ignore warning signs of sadness, depression and other
forms of suffering because we cannot be open about such feelings in society. It shouldn't be something we are afraid
of. With the release of emotion, we find who we want to be and quickly to a previous good condition. Sadness is
one emotion of many. But it is often the one most ignored. We don’t want to appear weak to others.
Sadness is different from depression. Typically, sadness comes and goes, while depression holds us down for
long. When feeling sad, you are most likely feeling alone, helpless and hopeless. But depression lasts almost nonstop
at a depth that can overrule your behavior.
We feel it our duty to be our own heroes. We feel like we need to hold on rather than let go and let others in.
When this happens, sadness increases, and we are no longer engaged with those we love. When sadness hits, we
have to tell someone and build a support system. You just need to allow others to see your weaknesses, which aren't
even true weaknesses. Feeling sad is not a weakness. Holding back in an effort to appear strong is, however, a
weakness.
When people know what you're going through, they can better assist you.
Our sadness does not show what we are worth. It only tells us the story we tell ourselves. And when we change
that story, we can breathe. We start to realize we deserve to be happy. Self talk like "I am worth it" is sending
message of love and hope to ourselves when the world fails to do so for you.
5．What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A．People tend to release bad emotions. B．People express their emotions easily.
C．People usually hide their emotions. D．People often lose control of emotions.
6．How is sadness different from depression
A．Depression is easier to recover. B．Sadness lasts for shorter periods.
C．Depression leads to hopelessness. D．Sadness can overrule people's behavior.
7．What is a weakness according to the author
A．Turning to others for help. B．Pretending to be strong.
C．Admitting our weaknesses. D．Telling the truth to someone,
8．What does the author suggest in the last paragraph
A．Sending ourselves positive messages. B．Asking others for advice.
C．Keeping the sad stories in mind. D．Learning from our own past experience
（2022·河南·高二期末）First, all participants found it quite easy to link colors and emotions. This was
particularly true for colors like red, black, or yellow. Other colors, like brown and purple, received fewer
associations. We found that colour-emotion associations were not one-to-one, but many-to-many.
Participants did not select one emotion for a colour, but often chose several emotions. In turn, different colors
were linked to the same emotion, like pleasure, which was associated with red but also yellow, orange, pink and
purple.
What you can also see is that most colors were associated with positive emotions. Only brown, grey and
black—that is, darker colors—were associated with negative emotions. Red was the most controversial colour. For
some, it was a very positive colour—the colour of passion, love and desire. For others, it was a negative colour—
the colour of danger, anger and hate. For even others, it was both positive and negative. What connects all these
emotions and ideas is the fact that red is activating and strong.
Second, we found few cultural differences. In other words, many colour-emotion associations seemed universal.
Most participants agreed that pink was associated with love and pleasure, yellow with joy and amusement, or that
black was the saddest colour.
Third, if you are interested in cultural differences, we found some specificities too. For example, in addition to
the universal associations of love and anger with red, Chinese participants also associated joy and amusement, while
Nigerian participants additionally associated fear with red. Another example is the association between purple and
sadness that only Greek participants chose. For others, purple was generally a positive colour with very little
agreement on the exact emotions associated with purple.
Fourth, participants whose languages were more similar to each other also had more similar associations. To
arrive at this finding, we estimated the degree of linguistic (语言的) similarity between two languages, which shows
how related or unrelated they are. And then, languages from different language families, like English and Chinese,
would have the lowest similarity scores.
9．Which colour is most likely to cause controversy
A．Black. B．Red. C．Yellow. D．Brown.
10．What is pink associated with according to most participants
A．Love and pleasure. B．Joy and amusement.
C．Anger and sadness. D．Fear and disappointment.
11．Which group of people associate purple with sadness
A．Chinese participants. B．Nigerian participants.
C．Greek participants. D．English participants.
12．What’s the best title of the text
A．The Deep Meaning of Colours
B．The Link Between Colours and Emotions
C．Cultural Differences in Different Countries
D．Linguistic Similarity Between Two Languages
（2022·山东枣庄·高二期末）During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people in lockdown felt lonely and
bored. “There is a loneliness epidemic,” said John Dattilo, a professor at Pennsylvania State University.
Together with an international team of researchers, Dattilo studied how to reduce loneliness and increase
positive feelings during the pandemic. According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with
doing enjoyable activities that require both concentration and skill. “When people are absorbed in what they are
doing, they enter a state called FLOW,” Dattilo explained. “Flow can be achieved by doing activities that we value
and that require us to concentrate fully to use our skills.”
To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level. For
example, if you’re trying to create a complex computer program but your skill level is low, then you’re likely to
feel stressed instead of achieving flow. On the contrary, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and flow
will not appear, either. If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can
things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.
“When we enter a state of flow, we become absorbed and focused, and we experience momentary enjoyment,”
Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how much time has passed.” However,
watching television usually doesn’t help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges.
“Loneliness is very connected to our health,” Dattilo explained. “Psychological, emotional, and cognitive
health are all challenged when people are lonely. Loneliness is associated with depression and other mental health
challenges. People tend to thrive on healthy activities and challenge,” said Dattilo. “We hope this research will help
people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.”
13．What is the purpose of the research
A．To study how to reduce loneliness. B．To fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
C．To treat some mental illnesses. D．To help people live a normal life.
14．What is a key point of the state of flow
A．Enjoyment. B．Relaxation. C．Concentration. D．Loneliness.
15．Which of the following can help a student get into a state of flow
A．Doing housework. B．Chatting online.
C．Watching television. D．Composing a story.
16．What do the underlined words “thrive on” mean in the last paragraph
A．Enjoy. B．Grow. C．Avoid. D．Balance.
（2022·江西九江·高二期末）Camden was four years old. Just like what you can expect with a kid at his
age, he’ s quite curious and cheerful. However, things started to change one day. He was no longer playing with the
other kids in the kindergarten, keeping to himself in the corner. It is unusual for a child to switch personalities in
just a matter of days. His teacher decided to get to the bottom of this.
After taking him away from the classroom, the small child admitted having some problems at home. Nancy
felt that she needed to contact his father to address her worries. After a phone conversation, Nancy got informed of
what she wanted to know. Darreld, Camden’s father, was seriously unwell because his kidneys were becoming
weaker by the day and barely operating at 20%, about which his small son, Camden, became concerned.
A youngster cannot live happy without their parent. Nancy had promised her pupil to do everything she could
to make things better for them, and she meant it. Nancy was determined to solve the problem once and for all.
Nancy received confirmation that she was a perfect candidate when she received the results of her hospital
tests. Darreld’ s relatives and friends had previously been tested to check whether they were a match. Unfortunately,
none of them were. Darreld was beginning to lose hope until Nancy made her offer.
To ease Nancy’s loved ones’ worries, the greatest surgeons in Iowa did the kidney removal, because they knew
she would be experiencing a risky treatment that only the best in the field could manage. The operation succeeded!
Both he and Nancy were expected to recover completely.
Camden was maybe the most affected by his father’ s plight, but now that Darreld is well again, as a result, the
small kid has changed back to be happy and active. Camden promises to be Nancy’ s best pupil ever.
17．Why did Camden draw his teacher’ s attention

（2022·黑龙江·集贤县第一中学高二期末）My mother-in-law left us an unexpected and priceless gift. After
she died, my husband and his sister were going through the contents of her house when they discovered every letter
we’d written to her during our 46-year marriage. She also kept all the letters my mother had written to her over the
years.
During my holidays, I’ve had time to go through these letters. I read about our early married life, our struggle
to have children and. especially the progress of our three children from birth to adulthood. I began writing all these
details for my children, and now they have details about when they were small. I discovered much I’d forgotten.
To read the letters written by my mother to my husband’s mother is a gift. I wish I’d saved my mother’s letters
to me, but now I have these letters that tell me things about my own mother I never knew. I see Mom and Mamma
shared their great love for us and for our children.
I come from a long line of letter writers and was trained to stay in touch with our parents. My grandparents
loved to receive letters from across the ocean. When I was away on a student exchange in 1970, my mother told me
my grandfather kept my airmail letters in his pocket and read them daily. Knowing this, I’ve tried my best to write
to our family regularly.
To all of you who write to me. I thank you. The handwritten word is a powerful tool of friendship and it
connects us together. Perhaps the greatest gift these letters have given me is to see how much my husband’s parent
treasured our letters to her. The letters helped her know her grandchildren and feel like part of our lives. I shall
collect and arrange them for my children so that they can read the events of our lives and know they were treasured,
too.
Keep writing to those you love. Those letters are our greatest gifts to each other.

（2022·浙江·慈溪市浒山中学高二期末）Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. — Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Being enthusiastic about something means being excited about a given project. Enthusiasm involves having a
strong interest in the task at hand. If you decided to learn a new language, which is not easy anyhow, you would
have to dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to the cause. Anything less would result in failure.
What is real enthusiasm In your pursuing success, enthusiasm means that you believe deeply in what the
company is doing. You also believe that your job is important and contributes to the cause. It means that you’re
willing to make every effort to achieve the company’s goals.
Real enthusiasm is when you leap out of bed in the morning and attack your day with much enthusiasm and
energy. You have great enthusiasm for the work you do and the people you work with. This pushes you to improve
and become a better person. Enthusiasm means that you are stimulated by your work, and are able to find new
challenges and keep growing professionally.
Furthermore, most jobs have some elements that are less fun and more difficult to carry out. This is where
passion really comes into play. Passion helps you get ahead. Enthusiasm about a job or project usually
translates into positive energy. That is, if you are excited about a project, you will be anxious to get started and get
results. The mere fact of looking forward to your work will help make you more productive and effective. You will
plan more effectively and pay careful attention to detail. You will carry out your plan more carefully and aim for
the best results possible.
Increase your enthusiasm. Most men aren’t born great—they become great. Similarly, not everyone is the
enthusiastic type that falls in love with their work. However, do not despair. There are ways to become more
passionate.

（2022·河南·通许县第一高级中学模拟预测）One day, my wife and I were listening to Disney songs with
our two little girls when the romantic love song I See the Light came on. I walked over to my wife, who was in the
kitchen, took her in my arms and started dancing with her slowly. I could tell it caught her off-guard and embarrassed
her a little. Thankfully, she stayed in my arms and danced with me anyway. As the song approached the final chorus,
I suddenly realized we weren’t alone. Our daughters were standing there watching us in silence.
The song approached the end and as the strings played the last notes, I decided to give the girls a Hollywood
ending. I took my wife’s face in my hands and kissed her. After I pulled away, I looked over and saw my elder
daughter’s face lit up with admiration, and her eyes filled with tears. Then she came over, buried her face in my
wife’s legs. and cried.
“Why are you crying ” my wife asked.
My daughter was at a loss for words, so I tried a different angle.
“Can you at least give me one word to describe how you’re feeling ” I asked.
My daughter paused, looked up at us and said,“Loved.”
It reminded me of seeing my dad kiss my mom, leaving me feeling pleasantly embarrassed as a child. I wanted
to watch them kiss each other and hide my face at the same time. And while there were no words to describe how I
felt at the time, looking back, I know what it was: I felt loved.
Never overlook the power of your love for your spouse (配偶). Your kids are watching as you smile and give
each other a kiss when you say goodbye to each other in the morning. They’re listening when you praise one another.
Showing marital love in front of our children is a unique chance to be both a good parent and a good spouse.

（2022·吉林通化·高二期末）You have the ability to decide whether you are happy or not. Happiness is a
choice.
You can’t depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early in my marriage. I
realized that I couldn’t rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on
myself and not my husband’s actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within, and it can’t be forced by outside force. So
how do you choose happiness The same way, you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit (一套衣服).
You choose it because that’s what you want to experience in your life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feels good. You wouldn’t buy a
pair of shoes that you don’t like or that doesn’t fit well, right So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings
that don’t make us feel good
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial.
We choose our feelings; no one else can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions — we are
giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check(制约)and not to react(反应)immediately to what is thrown at us. We
need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch(使转变)your thoughts
and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don’t dwell on (细
想)what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way.
Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.

（2022·黑龙江·双鸭山一中高二期末）Expressing emotions is difficult as it's not always encouraged in
society. People rely on comfort zones and a secure mask to get them through the day. You may wonder, "Why am
I so sad " and not know how to answer that question. We ignore warning signs of sadness, depression and other
forms of suffering because we cannot be open about such feelings in society. It shouldn't be something we are afraid
of. With the release of emotion, we find who we want to be and quickly to a previous good condition. Sadness is
one emotion of many. But it is often the one most ignored. We don’t want to appear weak to others.
Sadness is different from depression. Typically, sadness comes and goes, while depression holds us down for
long. When feeling sad, you are most likely feeling alone, helpless and hopeless. But depression lasts almost nonstop
at a depth that can overrule your behavior.
We feel it our duty to be our own heroes. We feel like we need to hold on rather than let go and let others in.
When this happens, sadness increases, and we are no longer engaged with those we love. When sadness hits, we
have to tell someone and build a support system. You just need to allow others to see your weaknesses, which aren't
even true weaknesses. Feeling sad is not a weakness. Holding back in an effort to appear strong is, however, a
weakness.
When people know what you're going through, they can better assist you.
Our sadness does not show what we are worth. It only tells us the story we tell ourselves. And when we change
that story, we can breathe. We start to realize we deserve to be happy. Self talk like "I am worth it" is sending
message of love and hope to ourselves when the world fails to do so for you.
5．What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A．People tend to release bad emotions. B．People express their emotions easily.
C．People usually hide their emotions. D．People often lose control of emotions.
6．How is sadness different from depression
A．Depression is easier to recover. B．Sadness lasts for shorter periods.
C．Depression leads to hopelessness. D．Sadness can overrule people's behavior.
7．What is a weakness according to the author
A．Turning to others for help. B．Pretending to be strong.
C．Admitting our weaknesses. D．Telling the truth to someone,
8．What does the author suggest in the last paragraph
A．Sending ourselves positive messages. B．Asking others for advice.
C．Keeping the sad stories in mind. D．Learning from our own past experience
（2022·河南·高二期末）First, all participants found it quite easy to link colors and emotions. This was
particularly true for colors like red, black, or yellow. Other colors, like brown and purple, received fewer
associations. We found that colour-emotion associations were not one-to-one, but many-to-many.
Participants did not select one emotion for a colour, but often chose several emotions. In turn, different colors
were linked to the same emotion, like pleasure, which was associated with red but also yellow, orange, pink and
purple.
What you can also see is that most colors were associated with positive emotions. Only brown, grey and
black—that is, darker colors—were associated with negative emotions. Red was the most controversial colour. For
some, it was a very positive colour—the colour of passion, love and desire. For others, it was a negative colour—
the colour of danger, anger and hate. For even others, it was both positive and negative. What connects all these
emotions and ideas is the fact that red is activating and strong.
Second, we found few cultural differences. In other words, many colour-emotion associations seemed universal.
Most participants agreed that pink was associated with love and pleasure, yellow with joy and amusement, or that
black was the saddest colour.
Third, if you are interested in cultural differences, we found some specificities too. For example, in addition to
the universal associations of love and anger with red, Chinese participants also associated joy and amusement, while
Nigerian participants additionally associated fear with red. Another example is the association between purple and
sadness that only Greek participants chose. For others, purple was generally a positive colour with very little
agreement on the exact emotions associated with purple.
Fourth, participants whose languages were more similar to each other also had more similar associations. To
arrive at this finding, we estimated the degree of linguistic (语言的) similarity between two languages, which shows
how related or unrelated they are. And then, languages from different language families, like English and Chinese,
would have the lowest similarity scores.
9．Which colour is most likely to cause controversy
A．Black. B．Red. C．Yellow. D．Brown.
10．What is pink associated with according to most participants
A．Love and pleasure. B．Joy and amusement.
C．Anger and sadness. D．Fear and disappointment.
11．Which group of people associate purple with sadness
A．Chinese participants. B．Nigerian participants.
C．Greek participants. D．English participants.
12．What’s the best title of the text
A．The Deep Meaning of Colours
B．The Link Between Colours and Emotions
C．Cultural Differences in Different Countries
D．Linguistic Similarity Between Two Languages
（2022·山东枣庄·高二期末）During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people in lockdown felt lonely and
bored. “There is a loneliness epidemic,” said John Dattilo, a professor at Pennsylvania State University.
Together with an international team of researchers, Dattilo studied how to reduce loneliness and increase
positive feelings during the pandemic. According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with
doing enjoyable activities that require both concentration and skill. “When people are absorbed in what they are
doing, they enter a state called FLOW,” Dattilo explained. “Flow can be achieved by doing activities that we value
and that require us to concentrate fully to use our skills.”
To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level. For
example, if you’re trying to create a complex computer program but your skill level is low, then you’re likely to
feel stressed instead of achieving flow. On the contrary, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and flow
will not appear, either. If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can
things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.
“When we enter a state of flow, we become absorbed and focused, and we experience momentary enjoyment,”
Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how much time has passed.” However,
watching television usually doesn’t help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges.
“Loneliness is very connected to our health,” Dattilo explained. “Psychological, emotional, and cognitive
health are all challenged when people are lonely. Loneliness is associated with depression and other mental health
challenges. People tend to thrive on healthy activities and challenge,” said Dattilo. “We hope this research will help
people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.”
13．What is the purpose of the research
A．To study how to reduce loneliness. B．To fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
C．To treat some mental illnesses. D．To help people live a normal life.
14．What is a key point of the state of flow
A．Enjoyment. B．Relaxation. C．Concentration. D．Loneliness.
15．Which of the following can help a student get into a state of flow
A．Doing housework. B．Chatting online.
C．Watching television. D．Composing a story.
16．What do the underlined words “thrive on” mean in the last paragraph
A．Enjoy. B．Grow. C．Avoid. D．Balance.
（2022·江西九江·高二期末）Camden was four years old. Just like what you can expect with a kid at his
age, he’ s quite curious and cheerful. However, things started to change one day. He was no longer playing with the
other kids in the kindergarten, keeping to himself in the corner. It is unusual for a child to switch personalities in
just a matter of days. His teacher decided to get to the bottom of this.
After taking him away from the classroom, the small child admitted having some problems at home. Nancy
felt that she needed to contact his father to address her worries. After a phone conversation, Nancy got informed of
what she wanted to know. Darreld, Camden’s father, was seriously unwell because his kidneys were becoming
weaker by the day and barely operating at 20%, about which his small son, Camden, became concerned.
A youngster cannot live happy without their parent. Nancy had promised her pupil to do everything she could
to make things better for them, and she meant it. Nancy was determined to solve the problem once and for all.
Nancy received confirmation that she was a perfect candidate when she received the results of her hospital
tests. Darreld’ s relatives and friends had previously been tested to check whether they were a match. Unfortunately,
none of them were. Darreld was beginning to lose hope until Nancy made her offer.

she would be experiencing a risky treatment that only the best in the field could manage. The operation succeeded!
Both he and Nancy were expected to recover completely.
Camden was maybe the most affected by his father’ s plight, but now that Darreld is well again, as a result, the
small kid has changed back to be happy and active. Camden promises to be Nancy’ s best pupil ever.

（2022·黑龙江·集贤县第一中学高二期末）My mother-in-law left us an unexpected and priceless gift. After
she died, my husband and his sister were going through the contents of her house when they discovered every letter
we’d written to her during our 46-year marriage. She also kept all the letters my mother had written to her over the
years.
During my holidays, I’ve had time to go through these letters. I read about our early married life, our struggle
to have children and. especially the progress of our three children from birth to adulthood. I began writing all these
details for my children, and now they have details about when they were small. I discovered much I’d forgotten.

To all of you who write to me. I thank you. The handwritten word is a powerful tool of friendship and it

treasured our letters to her. The letters helped her know her grandchildren and feel like part of our lives. I shall
collect and arrange them for my children so that they can read the events of our lives and know they were treasured,
too.

（2022·浙江·慈溪市浒山中学高二期末）Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. — Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Being enthusiastic about something means being excited about a given project. Enthusiasm involves having a
strong interest in the task at hand. If you decided to learn a new language, which is not easy anyhow, you would
have to dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to the cause. Anything less would result in failure.
What is real enthusiasm In your pursuing success, enthusiasm means that you believe deeply in what the
company is doing. You also believe that your job is important and contributes to the cause. It means that you’re
willing to make every effort to achieve the company’s goals.
Real enthusiasm is when you leap out of bed in the morning and attack your day with much enthusiasm and
energy. You have great enthusiasm for the work you do and the people you work with. This pushes you to improve
and become a better person. Enthusiasm means that you are stimulated by your work, and are able to find new
challenges and keep growing professionally.
Furthermore, most jobs have some elements that are less fun and more difficult to carry out. This is where
passion really comes into play. Passion helps you get ahead. Enthusiasm about a job or project usually
translates into positive energy. That is, if you are excited about a project, you will be anxious to get started and get
results. The mere fact of looking forward to your work will help make you more productive and effective. You will
plan more effectively and pay careful attention to detail. You will carry out your plan more carefully and aim for
the best results possible.
Increase your enthusiasm. Most men aren’t born great—they become great. Similarly, not everyone is the
enthusiastic type that falls in love with their work. However, do not despair. There are ways to become more
passionate.

（2022·河南·通许县第一高级中学模拟预测）One day, my wife and I were listening to Disney songs with
our two little girls when the romantic love song I See the Light came on. I walked over to my wife, who was in the
kitchen, took her in my arms and started dancing with her slowly. I could tell it caught her off-guard and embarrassed
her a little. Thankfully, she stayed in my arms and danced with me anyway. As the song approached the final chorus,
I suddenly realized we weren’t alone. Our daughters were standing there watching us in silence.
The song approached the end and as the strings played the last notes, I decided to give the girls a Hollywood
ending. I took my wife’s face in my hands and kissed her. After I pulled away, I looked over and saw my elder
daughter’s face lit up with admiration, and her eyes filled with tears. Then she came over, buried her face in my
wife’s legs. and cried.
“Why are you crying ” my wife asked.
My daughter was at a loss for words, so I tried a different angle.
“Can you at least give me one word to describe how you’re feeling ” I asked.

It reminded me of seeing my dad kiss my mom, leaving me feeling pleasantly embarrassed as a child. I wanted
to watch them kiss each other and hide my face at the same time. And while there were no words to describe how I
felt at the time, looking back, I know what it was: I felt loved.
Never overlook the power of your love for your spouse (配偶). Your kids are watching as you smile and give
