I ran into a stranger as he passedby. "Oh, excuse me, please" was my reply . He said: "Please ,excuseme too; I wasn't even watching for you."

We were very polite , thisstranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story istold.-how we treat our loved ones, young and old.

    Later that day, when I was cooking theevening meal, my daughter stood beside me very still.

When I turned , I nearly knocked her down. "Move out of the way,"I said with a frown.

She walked away, her little heartbroken. I didn't realize how cruelly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed that evening, my husband said to me,"While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the childrenyou love,you seem to abuse . Look on the kitchen floor and you'll find someflowers there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for   you . She picked them herself: pink, yellowand blue. She stood quietly not to spoil the surprise, and you never saw thetears in her eyes."By this time, I felt vert small, and my tears began tofall.    

I quietly went and knelt down by her bed. "Wake up, littlegirl," I said. "Are these flowers you picked for me?" Shesmiled: "I found them ,out by the tree. I picked them because they'repretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue."

    I said: "Daughter, I'm sorry for theway I actedtoday. I shout not have yelled at you that way."

   She said: "Oh Mom, that's okay. I loveyou anyway."

   I said: "Daughter, I love you too. AndI do like the flowers, especially the blue."

Are you aware that：If you die tomorrow, the companythat you are working for could easily

replace you in amatter of days．But the family youleave behind will feel the loss for the rest

of their lives．And come to think of it，we pour ourselves more into ourwork than into our families--an unwise investment indeed．

【英语美文阅读】我喜欢蓝花

我和一个过路的陌生人撞在一起。“噢,请原谅。”我回答说。 
　　他说:“也请原谅;我确实没有注意到你。” 
　　我和这个陌生人都彬彬有礼。 
　　我们彼此道别,继续前行。 
　　但在家里,我们对待我们所爱的人,情况却不一样。 
　　那天,我正在做晚饭时,儿子站在我身边,一动不动。 
　　我转身时,差点儿把他撞倒。 
　　“一边去,别碍事。”我皱着眉头说。 
　　他走开了,幼小的心灵受到了伤害。 
　　我没有注意到我说的话是多么严厉。 
　　我躺在床上还未入睡时,上帝小声对我说:“对待一个陌生人,你彬彬有礼,但对你所爱的家人,你似乎出言不逊啊。去看看厨房的地板,你会发现门边有一些花儿。那是他为你采的花儿。是他亲自去采的,有粉红的、黄的和蓝的。他静静地站着,不想破坏了那份惊喜。你压根就没有看到他眼里含的泪花。” 
　　此时,我感到自己非常渺小,泪水开始流了下来。 
　　我悄悄地来到他的床边跪下来,说:“醒一醒,小宝贝,醒一醒。这些花是你为我采的吗?” 
　　他微笑着说:“我在外面的树边发现了它们。我采回它们,是因为它们像你一样漂亮。我知道你会喜欢它们,特别是那些蓝色的花。” 
　　我说:“儿子,我对自己今天的所作所为感到抱歉。我不该对你那样大喊大叫。” 
　　他说:“妈妈,没事儿。不管怎样,我都爱你。” 

　　我说:“儿子,我也爱你。我真喜欢那些花,特别是那些蓝花。”

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   36   watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   37   our way after saying goodbye.

But at   38  , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I   39   our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I  40  knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart   41  . I didn’t realize how harshly (苛刻地) I had spoken.

That night, when I lay   42   in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While  43  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   44  . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She   45   them herself— pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the   46   in her eyes.”

By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her   47  : “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   48   them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the   49  .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I   50   have fussed at you that way.”

And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s okay... I still love you   51  .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”

Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the   52   you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave   53   will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our   54   than into our families--an unwise investment (投资) indeed.

Remember that   55   = (F)ATHER—(A)ND—(M)OTHER—(I)—(L)OVE—(Y)OU.
