更多“I( )my visit short by three we…”相关的问题
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.”

He returned from his first visit to the place in late autumn, and could not get back until the snow melted in the following spring.Then he went to the pilot of a small plane, who earned his living by carrying hunters over parts of the country where there were no roads and no railways.He asked the pilot to take him back to the piece of forest.
The pilot did not know the place, so the hunter showed it to him on the map.“But there is nowhere to land there,” said the pilot.“I have flown over that we can’t land anywhere between this river and these mountains.”
“I thought you were a wonderful pilot,” said the hunter, “some of my friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.”
“That’s right,” answered the pilot.“I can land a plane where nobody else can.But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.”
“And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there last spring？” said the hunter.
“Is that true？” asked the pilot.
“Yes, it is.I swear it.”
Well, this pilot could not let himself beaten by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.
When they reached the place, the hunter pointed out a small spot without trees in the middle of the forest, with a steep rise(陡坡) at one end.The pilot thought there was not enough room to land there, but the hunter said that the other pilot had done so the year before, so down went the plane.When it came to the rise, it turned right over onto its back.As the hunter climbed out, he smiled happily and said, “Yes, that is exactly how the other pilot managed it last time.”.
