When we were talking on the phone he shared some wonderful news with me. He said, “You know, Dad, I am really happy with my life. I cant think of a thing that I would change, like the way that I grew up or the way that my life is now.”My daughter was living with her mother in Northern California at that time. She said almost the same thing to me just a few days later. Of course, I was glad to hear this from both of them. And I told them both how happy I was, not only that they were happy, but that they expressed it to me.And that was the gift they were giving me - with the heart of communication. Certainly I hope for good news when I hear from them. But mostly I love that they will share their real feelings with me. Happy or sad. I love their real thoughts and feelings.For a child, Fathers Day isnt really about giving Dad a gift. It is about understanding the love a father expresses when he helps put food on the table, teaches his child to ride a bike, raises his childs spirits at a football game, etc.For a father, Fathers Day isnt so much about getting gifts for a job well done. Remember, the greatest gift that we give our child is the real expression of our love. It isnt enough for them to feel love inside ourselves: we need to express that love.36.

People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase “blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon.When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon.Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event.This facthas led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to other very rare events in their lives.41. You can most probably read the passage in _. A. a science bookB. a story bookC. a history bookD. a writing book42. Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase “once in a blue moon”?A. Simon often tells jokes. He tells jokes once in a blue moon.B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. He does exercise once in a blue moon.C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. She goes shopping once in a blue moon.D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. She stays up once in a blue moon.43. When does a blue moon happen in nature?A. When the moon has a blue moon.B. When we can only see a small part of the moon.C. When we cannot see the moon at all.D. When there are two full moons in one month.44. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?A. Once a year.B. Less than once a year.C. More than once a year. D. At least twice a year.45. What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to?A. A blue moon is a very rare event.B. The moon appears to change shape.C. The moon itself is never really blue.D. A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.Join us Luckys House offers a warm and safe place for dogs without a home.
