问题描述：

After 22years of marriage，I have discovered the secret to keep love and intimacy alive in my relationship with my wife，Peggy：I started dating with another woman．

It was Peggy's idea，actually，"you know you love her．"She said one day，taking me in surprise．The"other"woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother，a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20years ago．I had promised myself that I would spend more time with mom．But with the demands of my job and three kids，I never got around to see her much beyond family get-together and holidays．

I telephoned mom，suggesting a dinner and a movie together．We didn't go anywhere fancy，just a neighborhood place where we could talk．My mother held my arm，half out of affection and half to help her negotiate the restaurant steps．

Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows，I had to read the menu for both of us．"I used to be the reader when you were little，"my mother smiled．I understood what she was saying．From care-giver to cared-for，from cared-for to care-giver，our relationship had come full circle．"Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor．"I said．

We had a nice talk over dinner．We talked for so long that we missed the movie．"I will go out with you again．"My mother said as I dropped her off，"but only you let me buy dinner next time．"I agreed．Now Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month．

　　56．Hismother．细节题．根据文章第二段内容The"other"woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother，a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20years ago．我的妻子让我约会的那个女人是我72岁的母亲，自从20年前父亲去世后，她就一个人居住着．　　57．Theykeeploveandintimacyalive/Verygood．细节题．根据文章第一段内容After 22years of marriage，I have discovered the secret to keep love and intimacy alive in my relationship with my wife，结婚22年，我一直和妻子保持着爱和亲密的关系，由此可知，关系非常好．　　58．Gopastsafely．词义猜测题．根据文章内容我的母亲已经72岁高龄了，My mother held my arm，half out of affection and half to help her negotiate the restaurant steps．她挽着我的手，一方面是出于爱，另一方面是为了安全的跨过饭店门前的台阶．由此，negotiate意为Gopastsafely．　　59．No，becausehehasajobtodoandthreekidstolookafter．细节题．根据文章内容But with the demands of my job and three kids，I never got around to see her much beyond family get-together and holidays．由于工作要求以及3个孩子需要照料，因此除了家庭聚会和节日期间，我从句没有回去看过母亲．　　60．Parentstakecareofchildrenwhenchildrenarelittle．Childrentakecareofparentswhenparentsareold 推理题．根据文章内容．"I used to be the reader when you were little，"my mother smiled．I understood what she swas saying．From care-giver to cared-for，from cared-for to care-giver，our relationship had come full circle．"Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor．"I said．妈妈说，我小时候不识字就由她给我读菜单，而我说：现在该轮到我为您服务为您效劳了．我们之间的关系从爱的给予者转变成了爱的接受者，换言之，在不同的时候，我们之间相互照顾的角色发生了变化：我们小时候由父母照顾，父母年迈了，该由我们尽孝心．
