阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。
I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked __1__ at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. __2__ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and __3__ down at him. My first thought was that he must need __4__ with his homework or he was trying to __5__ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”
“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should __6__ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s a(n) __7__.”
The next day I called his teacher to __8__ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had __9__.
“Basically, most of the fathers had the __10__ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first __11__ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The __12__ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of __13__. It’s something all human beings __14__. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too __15__ that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be __16__ to tell his dad that he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how __17__ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for __18__ second. And just __19__ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”
I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right __20__.
