　　(2016·太原市高三年级模拟考试一)As a young man，Al was a skilled artist，a potter (陶艺工人) with a wife and two fine sons.One night，his elder son developed a severe stomachache.Thinking it was only some common intestinal(肠道) disorder，neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously.But the boy died suddenly that night.

　　Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation，he always felt he was guilty.To make matters worse，his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his six­year­old younger son.The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand，and he turned to alcohol for help.In time Al became an alcoholic.

　　As the alcoholism progressed，Al began to lose everything he possessed—his land，house etc.Finally Al died alone in a small bar.Hearing of Al’s death，I thought，“What a totally wasted life！What a complete failure！”

　　As time went by，I began to revalue my earlier rough judgement.I knew Al’s now adult son，Ernie.He is one of the kindest，most caring and most loving men I have ever known.I saw the love between Ernie and his children，thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.

　　I hadn’t heard Ernie talked much about his father.One day，I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person.Ernie said quietly，“As a child until I left home at 18，Al came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘I love you，son.’”
