  I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I  41  try to be a loving husband and father. Totally  42 No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a commentator(解说员) 43  my car’s tape player. He was   44  a passage about husbands being  45  of their wives.  46   he went on to say, “Love is an act of  47  . A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband   48  our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感觉迟钝) . In unimportant ways, really; scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉);  49   on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing   50 day – old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would   51  . And it  52 . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks  53  on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and   54  , maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn 55   a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the children  56   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 investment (投资) firm  57   I am director; a visit to the shell museum,  58  I usually hate museums (and I enjoyed it);  59   my tongue while Evelyn’s getting ready for a late dimmer for us. Relaxed (轻松) and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on  60   to choose love. 41. A. used to           B. would             C. should              D. could 42.
