A gray sweater hung limply on Tommy’s empty desk, a reminder of the depressed boy who had just followed his classmates from our third-grade room. Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and disruptive behavior. Neither parent knew that I had invited the other.
Tommy, an only child, had always been happy, cooperative and an excellent student. How could I convince his father and mother that his recent failing grades represented a broken-hearted child's reaction to his loved parent’s separation and divorce?
Tommy's mother entered and took one of the chairs I had placed near my desk. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were concerned enough to be on time. A look of surprise and anger passed between them, and then they pointedly ignored each other.
As I gave a detailed account of Tommy's behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together, to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn't come. Perhaps if they saw one of his spotted, carelessly done papers.
I found a crumpled(壓皺的)tear-stained sheet stuffed in the back of his desk, an English paper. Writing covered both sides—not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled(潦草地寫(xiě)) over and over.
Silently I smoothed it out and gave it to Tommy's mother. She read it and then without a word handed it to her husband. He frowned. Then his face softened. He studied the scribbled words for a long time.
At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife's outstretched hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. My own eyes were brimming(濕潤(rùn)的), but neither seemed to notice. He helped her with her coat and they left together.
In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the anguished outpouring(流露) of a small boy's troubled heart.
The words, "Dear Mother ... Dear Daddy ... I love you ... I love you ... I love you."

閱讀理解

  I am afraid to lose.I fear this time, and I love memories.I could not forget the sweat on the pitch with brothers, forget my close friends accompanying me crying, and forget the bright stars of every night, and those words that have touched me deeply.

  Those people, those things, such as bursts of light rain in the lake left ring watermark four scattered to each other to melt each other's impact; just like the quiet shining star, not very bright, but clearly made.They do not know how much to spend with me during the bright day and silent night.

  In my memory, the third year is not gray, because I still remember seeing sunrise and sunset with my friends, and it's that nice.

  Youth is the eye lotus spring, third year is spring season that this eye bubbled.I, however, strongly smell in the bubble years of the Problem tests.I do not exclude these, but too much pressure does away much fun.Unfortunately, after the college entrance examination, even the pressure would become the memories, and be my third year living memory of the dead evidence.In the time before we are so powerless, the only left on just the eye springs, and we have no regrets of the promise, I hope day after day, year after year, when I return to this page, people still have remembered the beauty.

  I have read one another frightening words:Some people say that once you start to like the memories of those, you will get old.I only admit mature, do not believe they have been growing old.My friends are growing up day by day, and were young and mature, how can I grow old ahead of time?

  "Heaven Rain in green and so on, and I am waiting for you, the moonlight was recovered, the faint opened the outcome." Jay's sad voice has been completely different from the business for the time sentimental(傷感的); Bard will be the years the pace of a camel carved into the blue and white porcelain in that respect.

  Our future? Friends ah, I will time the other end, waiting for you.
