Question

“Buy me a rose, call me from work.

Open a door for me, what would it hurt?

Show me you love me by the look in your eyes

…”

-- from the song Buy Me a Rose

People may always wonder what is a better way to express our love.

Many times ,the small things in life, which we often ignore（忽略）,are more important than the very ones      we consider far more valuable.

Mr. Roger, a successful businessman, loved his wife     . In his eyes, the best way of showing love to his wife was by      her with all the wealth and comforts of life.     , his way of showing love didn’t please his wife. Instead, it was creating distance       the two. They quarreled(吵嘴) quite often, which made him very tired.

His wife, however,     that he worked day and night and had little time to keep her company. All she wanted was to show her more     by giving her more time, caring for her and expressing his feeling to her. These were the things that she     most in her life.
