I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I 51 try to be a loving husband and father. Totally 52 . No ifs, ands or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a broadcaster 53 my car’s tape player. He was 54 a passage about husbands being 55 of their wives. 56 he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to 57 that I had been such a selfish husband 58 our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity. In unimportant ways, really; scolding Evelyn for her tardiness(拖拉); 59 on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing 60 day-old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would 61 . And it 62 . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks 63 on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and 64 , maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn 65 a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the children 66 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 firm 67 I am director; a visit to the shell museum, 68 I usually hate museums, and I enjoyed it; 69 my tongue while Evelyn’s getting ready for a late dinner for us. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on 70 to choose love. 51. A. used to B. would C. should D. could 52. A. loving B. lovely C. lovable D. loved 53.
