I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom “Why doesn't Dad love me!” Mom frowned. “Who said he doesn't love you!” “Well, he never tells me,” I complained. “He never tells me either,”she said, smiling. “But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us.”
After Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for me. Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. Every time after drinking the juice, I walked over, hugged him and said, “I love you, Dad.” My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.
Then one morning, pressed for time, I drank my juice and made for the door. Dad stepped in front of me and asked, “Well!” “Well what?”I asked, knowing exactly what. “Well!” he repeated, looking everywhere but at me. I hugged him extra hard. It was the right time to say what I'd always wanted to. “I'm fifty years old, Dad, and you've never told me you love me.” My father stepped away from me. He picked up the empty juice glass, washed it and put it away. “You've told other people you love me.” I said, “but I've never heard it from you.” Dad looked very uncomfortable. I moved closer to him. “Dad, I want you to tell me you love me.” Dad took a step back, his lips pressed together. He seemed about to speak, and then shook his head. “Tell me”, I shouted. “All right I love you,” Dad finally blurted. His eyes watered, then overflowed.
I stood before him, stunned and silent. My father loved me so much that just saying so made him weep. Mom had been right. Every day of my life Dad had told me how much he loved me by what he did and what he gave. “I know, Dad,” I said. “I know.” And now at last I did.
People used to say that horses sweat, men perspire(流汗), and ladies glow. Now that most of us live a healthy lifestyle which includes exercise, we all sweat! The main reason our bodies produce sweat is to help us cool down. As you exercise or sit in the hot sun, your body temperature rises and your sweat glands(腺) get to work passing liquid through your skin. When your sticky sweat evaporates, it cools your skin and helps your body stay at a healthy temperature.
You may think that the sweatiest people at the gym are the ones who are out-of-shape. In fact the better shape you are in, the more you sweat! With lots of exercise heating your body regularly, your 3 million sweat glands will grow larger so they can cool you down faster. But it's not all about exercise: genes determine how likely you are to sweat, and there isn't much you can do to change it! On a very hot day, an average person will sweat 3 pints of liquid an hour, but someone used to the heat will sweat 8-5 pints in an hour! No wonder it's important to drink lots and lots of water when the sun beats down．
Staying comfortable in the heat will mean sweating, but there are other ways to keep cool. Stay in the shade and dress in light colors and natural fabrics like cotton. Wear a light hat that will shade your face but will still let heat escape from your head. Drink a lot of cool liquids to rehydrate. If you are sweating a lot, you will be losing salt as well as water through your skin, so you may want a salty snack. Sweat is odorless, but the bacteria that live in it can smell bad. Keeping clean will help your friends stay friendly all summer long!
