I often think of things I wish I had told my mother. I spent the l【2】 few days of her life at her bedside telling her the things I'd wanted to tell her for years, that she was a good mother and I was proud to be her d【3】 .

My dad was also a man of few words, but he m【4】 what he said. He always ended our calls with "Love you, girl."

Those were the words I would cling to when I learned he had died. I had all sorts of questions I never asked him, b【5】 I never doubted his love.

Now, I have children and grandchildren of my own, and it seems like my husband and I are forever telling them how m【6】 they mean to us. They might get sick of it, but we'll n【7】 stop-we need to say it and they need to hear it. From late December to mid-February, we celebrate 11 b【8】 in our big family. Last week, for example, we phoned my youngest son to wish him happy birthday.

I listened as my husband told our son how proud he is of the man and h【9】 and father that he's become, and what a pleasure it has been watching him grow up.

He ended the call, as always, with "I love you, buddy."

And I shouted, "Me, too! " I hope he h【10】 me.

When we tell someone what they mean to us, we just need to mean it and make sure they hear it.

The best time to say "I love you" is always right now.

【題目】 It is reported that Stephen Hawking, the most famous physicist of his time, has died at the age of 76. A family member said Hawking, who was British, died peacefully on early Wednesday, March 14, 2018 at his home in Cambridge, England. Hawking was known worldwide for working to explain something about the universe and black holes.

Hawking suffered from a disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS（肌肉萎縮性側(cè)面硬化�。� in 1963. At the time, doctors thought he would only live about two years. But he lived more than 50 years and continued his scientific work. Because of it, Hawking had to stay in a wheelchair and lost his ability to speak. Hawking had to communicate with others by using a voice synthesizer（合成器）.

In his 2013 book My Brief History, Hawking told his readers about his illness. “I felt it was very unfair—why should this happen to me?” He added, “At the time, I thought my life was over.” “But now, 50 years later, I can be quite satisfied with my life,” he wrote. His goal was that he could understand the universe completely. He was also a big supporter of human space travel to the Moon and Mars. “We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds. It is time to explore other solar systems（太陽系）,” he said last year.

Hawking was an outstanding scientist and a fighter who struggled against the disease and contributed greatly to mankind’s understanding of science. He and his contribution will be remembered forever.

【1】When did Stephen Hawking get the terrible disease?

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Getting the terrible disease.B.Achieving his goal.

C.His book My Brief History.D.His studies about the universe.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.Hawking is a famous physicist from Harvard, the USA.

B.Hawking wrote a book called My Brief History in 2003.

C.Hawking didn’t think that people should explore other solar systems.

D.Hawking spent his life studying the universe and black holes.

But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and __________ hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but __________ the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do."
