The other woman ____my wife asked me to pay attention to was my mother. My father has been dead for many years. My mother lived ____, but sometimes I was too busy to visit her.
That evening I called her and invited her to dinner and watch a movie. She seemed very______ when I arrived at her house. We went to a restaurant. My mother took my arm and walked as if she was my first lady.
____ dinner, we had a very good conversation. It was nothing special. We simply_____the latest events in our lives. But we were so busy talking______we missed the movie. At last, she said,” I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.”I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a ______ to do anything for her. Not long after that, I received a payment receipt (收据) from the restaurant as well as an attached (附加) note:
“I paid the bill for our second dinner in advance(提前). I am not sure____I could have dinner with you or not. So I paid for two people, you and your wife. I have no words to explain how important that dinner meant to me. My son, I love you.”
