Question

When we got to the hospital, we found Dad still coughed a lot, but his smile was as sure as ever. It was another attack of pneumonia(肺炎). My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend, but we had to go back to our jobs on Monday. Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted to let him know that we also cared about him. even when we weren't with him.

     Then I remembered a family tradition （传统）when our children were small. Before leaving their grandparents' home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. For days, their grandparents would smile as they read these notes of love.

   So when I cleaned Dad's kitchen and made the bed for him, I wrote some notes. Some were like this, "Dad, I put the food in the fridge. " Some expressed my love, "Dad, I hope you will sleep well in your new bed. " Most notes were put downstairs where he would stay for several weeks when he was ill. But I put one note upstairs under his pillow(枕头), "Dad, if yon have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!"

    "These notes helped improve his health. Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls, I asked Dad how he was doing. He said, "Pretty good. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了作者小时候家里的一个传统，就是每次拜访完祖父母要走的时候，要给祖父母留一张爱心留言，这既可以表达对他们的爱，也有助于他们的身体健康。作者父亲生病了，但是她要跟丈夫回去工作，不能照顾父亲，在走之前也给父亲留了爱心留言，其中一张被放在楼上父亲的枕头下面，如果父亲看到了留言就说明他已经康复了。

1.根据原文When we got to the hospital, 和My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend,可知作者的父亲被送到了医院，作者和她的丈夫在那个周末陪父亲呆在一起。故填hospital，weekend。

2.根据原文Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him.当地的亲属帮助作者的爸爸从医院回到家里并且照顾他。get home到家，look after照看，照顾。故填get，after。

3.根据原文Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small. Before leaving their grandparents' home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents.可知作者记得小时候有一个传统，每次离开祖父母家之前，都要写一个爱的留言给祖父母。故填traditional，notes。

4.根据原文Some expressed my love,和These notes helped improve his health.可知这种传统不仅可以表达我们的爱，也可以帮助他们恢复健康。故填expressed，health。

5.根据原文Several weeks later, in one of our regular phone calls,作者特别留了一张纸条在楼上父亲的枕头下面，如果父亲看到了纸条说明父亲已经康复能上楼了。better更好。故填several，better。
