更多“ I showed my husband the new dress but I ______ tell him how much it cost.”相关的问题
第1题
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of heir wives.Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed.I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter？” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I don’t？”
“What do you mean？”
“Well… that checkup (体检) I had several weeks ago … our doctor… did he tell you something about me？ Tom, you’ve been so good to me… am I dying？”
It took a moment for it all to sink in.then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms.“You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
26.In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means “_________”.
A.unintentionally
B.inevitably
C.impressively
D.unconditionally

A.He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.
B.She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
C.He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

听力原文： When my husband was promoted, we put our house up for sale. Three weeks later, it was still on the market. I became a busy housekeeper. Every room had to be kept tidy and dishes had to be washed and put away when used. Then one day, the door bell rang unexpectedly at 8 am. Sleepily I opened the door and saw our agent standing there with a couple from New York. "There was no time to call," he explained, "the couple has to catch a plane home." The three people made their way past the dirty breakfast dishes on the kitchen table and entered a bedroom with unmade beds. As I retreated into a bathroom to comb my hair, I heard the man say something to his wife. Then they both laughed. Two days later the agent phoned to tell me that the couple had bought the house. He repeated what the couple had said when he handed over the check the following day, "That house has a warm lived-in feeling just like ours."

Secrets of Strong Families
A group of American marriage and family counselors once placed a brief notice in four dozen newspapers in 25 states. "If you live in a strong family, please contact us. We know a lot about what makes families fail; we need to know more about what make them succeed." Letters poured in; then a questionnaire was mailed to each family who responded and more than 3,000 families participated. One of the most surprising things to emerge is that six key qualities for making a strong family function were mentioned time and again by many families. Those qualities are.
Commitment
Crucial to any family's success is an investment of time, energy, spirit and heart, an investment otherwise known as commitment. The family comes first. Family members are dedicated to promoting each other's welfare and happiness-and they expect the family to endure. For strong families, commitment and sexual fidelity (忠诚) are so closely linked that an extramarital affair (婚外恋) is regarded as the ultimate threat to a marriage. "An affair does terrible things to your partner's self-esteem," one woman wrote, "It says, you are replaceable." Some families have seen commitment eroded by a more subtle enemy-work, and its demand on time attention and energy.
Time Together
When 1,500 children were asked "What do you think makes a happy family？" they didn't list money, cars, or fine homes. They replied: doing things together. Members of strong families agree. They spend lots of time together — working, playing, attending religious services, and eating meals together. What you do isn't as important, they say, as doing it. What about quality versus quantity of time？ Strong families realize the time they spend together needs to be good time. It also needs to be sufficient; quality interaction isn't likely to develop in a few minutes together. A working mother wrote, "To excuse myself for spending so little time with my daughter by saying, 'It was only 15 minutes, but it was high quality,' is a cop-out."
Appreciation
Feeling appreciated by others is one of the most basic of human needs. Questionnaires and interviews showed that the quantity of appreciation family members expressed to one another was even greater than anticipated. One mother wrote: "Each night we go into the children's bedrooms and give each a big hug and kiss. Then we say, 'you are really good kids and we love you very much. ' We think it is important to leave that message with them at the end of that day." A wife said "When my husband comes home he says, ' I see you've been busy with boys today and you got your hair cut and did the marketing.' He doesn't mention the weedy garden. And when he comes in, disappointed over a sale he missed, I remind him of the three he made last week. We've conditioned ourselves to look at what we have rather than what we lack."
Communication
Psychologists know that good communication helps to create a sense of belonging, and case frustration as well as full-blown crises. Strong families emphasize that good communication does not necessarily happen; it takes time and practice. Good communication means clearing up misunderstandings. Strong families work at explaining one another's messages. A new Mexico husband wrote: "My wife would say, 'Are there any good movies downtown？ ' and she'd mean, ' I'd like to go to a movie'. I'd answer the question literally, by telling what was playing. Rarely did I suggest going to a show. Then I'd be surprised when she was unhappy. Eventually we figured this pattern out. She is better now about saying ' I'd like to… ' instead of hinting, and I'm better about checking to be sure I understand what she really means."
Spiritual Wellness
Spiritual wellness was defined by strong families as a caring center within each of us that promotes sharing, love and compassi

第10题
根据材料请回答下列各 On the high-speed train from Avignon (阿维尼翁． to Paris, my husband and I landed in the only remainingseats on the train, in the middle of a car, directly opposite a Frenchwoman of middle years. It was an extremelyuncomfortable arrangement to be looking straight into the eyes of a stranger. My husband and I pulled out books.The woman produced a large makeup case and proceeded to freshen up. Except for a lunch break, she continuedthis activity for the entire three-hour trip. Every once in a while she surveyed the car with a bright-eyed glance, butnever once did she catch my (admittedly fascinated．eye. My husband and I could have been a blank wall. I was amused, but some people would have felt insulted, even repulsed (厌恶的). There is something aboutprimping in public that calls up strong emotional reactions. Partly it's a question of hygiene. (Nearly everyoneagrees that nail-paling and hair-combing are socially considered unwise to do.．And it's a matter of degree.Grooming-a private act-has a way of negating the presence of others. I was once seated at a party with a model-actress who immediately waved a silly brash and began dusting her face at the table, demonstrating that while shewas next to me, she was not with me. In fact, I am generally inhibited from this maneuver in public, except when I am in the company of cosmeticsexecutives (when it's considered unpleasant not to do it． or my female friends when it's a fun just-us-girlsmoment. In a gathering more professional than social, I would refrain. Kathy Peiss, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and an authority on American beauty rituals, says that nose-powdering in the office was an occasion for outrage in 1920's and 30's. Deploring thepractice as a waste of company time, trade journals advised managers to discourage it among clerical workers. But howmuch time could it take？ Certainly the concern was out of proportion with the number of minutes lost. Peiss theorizesthat it was the blatant assertion of a female practice in what had been an all-male province that disturbed critics. Peiss tells me that after the 30's, pulling out a compact was no longer an issue. It became an accepted practice.I ask if she feels free to apply lipstick at a professional lunch herself. Sounding mildly shocked, she says she wouldsave that for the privacy of her car afterward. Why？ Because it would be "a gesture of inappropriate femininity. "One guess is that most professional women feel this way. There is evidence of the popularity of the new lipsticksthat remain in place all day without retouching. It's amazing to think that in our talk-show society, where every sexual practice is openly discussed, a simplesex-specific gesture could still have the power to disturb. The move belongs in the female arsenal and, likeweapons, must be used with caution. According to the author, "My husband and I could have been a blank wall." (Line 6, Para. 1．most probably means "___________"
A. We were treated with an expressionless face.
B. We looked at the French woman expressionlessly.
C. We used books as a wall to avoid the woman's eyes.
D. We were of no existence in the French woman's eyes.
