My father was a highly educate, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your 31 in the process. I thought there was nothing be wasn’t 32 to do.

A few days before my younger brother’s 7^th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new 33 as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of 34 the instructions, Dan was still unable to 35 the new bike together. Later he 36 the paper of instructions, 37 up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra 38 to have it correctly assembled there. 39 an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.

“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?”

As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the 40 . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No ,thanks. I can’t read. When you can’t read, you have to 41 .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was 42 assembled, with no 43 parts remaining. Dad shook Lovett’s hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.

On the night after my brother received his shiny new gift, Dad announced at the family dinner table what had happened several days earlier. He took great 44 in telling it over and over again-be used it as an example of thinking.

He did not prefer to illiteracy(文盲) , but strongly taught us to use our 45 , The joke was on my father, 46 he was able to turn it into a learning tool, and I liked him even more after that incident. I also gained a new 47 for Lovett. To me he had 48 been the old yard man who didn’t 49 much, but after that day, he seemed to smile broader, even walk taller, It’s amazing what a real nod of 50 can do to lift people up.

Whenever I recall my childhood, there is one thing I remember clearly. My father used his 36 to let my mother 37 her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the 38 . One evening, our father came home and there was no 39 , not even a piece of bread. My father had no money and he was as 40 as we were. My brother and I went to bed without having anything.

41 I knew from the expressions on my father’s face that he could not 42 us be hungry for long. He left the house, and about two hours later he 43 and woke us up.

________________ I wrote a poem, I felt confident and placed it right on my father’s plate before dinner.

College was the best of times and the worst of times for me. I met the best friends of my life, had    21   experiences, but I also folded under more   22   than I ever had to deal with before.     23   bad grades, I ended up being asked to take a semester off at the end of the first semester of my senior year.
So I went back home to   24  with my father and stepmother. To their credit, they understood me and were very cool about my coming back. I felt their    25   from the moment I walked in the door. They   26   to let me feel like a failure.
One morning not long after I had come home, my father woke me up saying that my stepmother   27  on the kitchen floor. I went downstairs trying to perform CPR on her   28   it was too late. She was already dead of a massive heart attack.
I’ll never   29  the look on my father’s face when he was given the official news of her passing. I knew at that moment that I had to be   30  because he needed someone to lean on. It was as if our roles had    31  and I was being the protective parent while he took the time to   32   .
I guess the lesson I took from it is that even in our   33   moments we can still be of help to someone who is   34   something much harder. It’s so easy to close ourselves off to the things going on around us, and   35  feel that we are the only ones   36  . Helping someone else could actually help us   37  ourselves.
Needlessly to say I went back to college the next semester, and I studied harder and got my    38    . My father and I developed a bond that was    39   closer than it already was, and I have a much better ability to keep   40  times in perspective.（适当地）
