  But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皺眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.
