When I was 16 years old,I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children I learned French at school and I had often been to France,so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't un?derstand English.

"Well,that's nice," he said. "Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"

"Who is talking about marriage?" I replied. "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I've arrived. Can you tell me where's a phone box?"

"Oh！" he said,"There's a phone downstairs.”

When at last we met, Danny explained the misun?derstanding to me.

"Don't worry," he said to me. *' I have so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us British. You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people under?stand each other!"

In the doorway of my home,I looked closely at my 23-year-old son,Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 1 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 2 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips,and this was not the 3 time I had let such moments pass.

When Daniel was five,I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, " What is it going to be like,Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked 4 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 5 played itself out.

I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 6 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 7 me.

Now,as I stood before him,I thought of those 8 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 9 ？I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what he has 10 to me or what he might 11 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 12 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet I always 13 never hearing him put his 14 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 15 to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry,and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. "Daniel," I said, "If I could have picked, I would have picked you. " That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 16 ，and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes,and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 17 of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed 18 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 19 . It was nothing. And yet,it was 20 .

Soon we had left 3 the smoky air of the city and had reached the country station where our 4 was to begin.

Come on.”

I followed, because I could see for myself a strong rope 13 to the ring in its nose at one end and round a large tree at the other. We felt very bold and walked nearer, 14 a red handkerchief just to show that we weren't afraid.

The bull began to walk towards us―and did not stop. "He 15 to have a long rope,”I said,walking more quickly. The bull too was walking more quickly. Then,at the same mo?ment,we both saw that the rope was broken, and without 16 we began to run.

We were halfway across the field but it didn't take us long to reach the gate again. We jumped over,very much out of 17 ，and looked back to see the bull quietly 18 a bag of food. "That was a clever 19 of mine,wasn't it?" said my friend："I dropped the food on purpose to 20 away the bull's attention.”

"No，" I cried. It was not clever！I dropped mine―accidentally.
