Twelve years age I flew from my home in Minnesota to spend Father’s Day with my father in California. This wasn’t a typical Father’s Day visit, but to say goodbye to my father as his cancer rapidly advanced. We hadn’t had much of a relationship up to that day and never did much talking. He wasn’t verbal (善用言詞辭的) or demonstrative (易流露感情的) nor was I. I knew he loved me simply because fathers love their children. He never told me he loved me and I never told him. That’s the way we did things in our house.

   My father told me a bit about his career growth from a poor boy to a very successful businessman. He had got a lot through his hard work. He had reasons to be proud of what he had done and I had the benefit of his success. “Maybe I didn’t do things right. I never really knew you or your brothers. I did what I thought was right.” This visit didn’t change our ways. We shook hands and said goodbye as I left. Our relationship ended as we lived it.

   As a father for more than 14 years I look back and understand why I am staying at home full-time with my children. I tell my children I love them every day, I hug them and I talk with them and let them know how important they are to me. However, as much as we would like to believe that we are all ideal fathers but we are not. We all made mistakes and hopefully we learned from them, just as I learned from my father.

MONTREAL（Reuters）—Crossing the US－Canada border（邊界） to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $10 000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security（安全） rules.

The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert，who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15，crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St.Pamphile is where they shop，eat and go to church.

There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5530－mile border between Canada and the US—which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.

As a result，Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada，as usual. The US customs（海關(guān)） station in this area is closed on Sundays，so he just drove around the locked gate，as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May，following a tightening of border security. Two days later，Albert was told to go to the customs office，where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally（非法）.

Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed，but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200－mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.

Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine，but he has not attended a Sunday church since.“I feel like I’m living in a prison，”he said.

A. an American living in Township 15

B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village

C. a Canadian working in a customs station
