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 they have   10  to me.Or what he might want to face in the years   11  .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     .

MONEY – SAVING TIPS FOR DISNEY WORLD

Every time you visit Disney World, there’s something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high – tech, movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom . Each time the park expands(扩大), so do your chances to spend money. How can you save ? As a family guide to Disney World, I've been to the park more than 25 times with my kids , and I've developed a few money-saving tips for you.

●Buy the Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass. Even if you're visiting for fewer days , it's a deal (The pass costs $ 229 for visitors aged 10 and up , $ 183 for kids aged three to nine and is free for kids under age three). Without the pass , you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks . A single trip to Blizzard Beach , for example , would cost a family of four $100.

  ● Dine out at Lunchtime. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants , especially those in Epcot's World Showcase , are much lower at noontime than at any other time. It's wise to make reservations(预定)before you leave home . Call 407-W-DISNEY .

 ● Become a Gold Card Member.  For $ 65 , you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1-800-56-DISNEY). Cardholders get up to 20% off Disney hotel rooms , plus prices on character breakfast , theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores .

 ● Don't Pay Extra to See a Character.  Character-theme dinner shows are expensive , costing a family of four about $ 140 , and even a character breakfast , where Mickey or Donald Duck joins you for cakes , can set you back $ 50. If your budget (预算) is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows . You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show , for example , in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost , while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue needs expensive tickets .

 ● Wait Until the End of Your Trip to Buy Souvenirs.  By then , the kids will really know what they want , and you won't waste money on expensive things .

If you are short of money, the writer suggests you should not        .

       A.buy things for the kids from Disney stores.

       B.buy souvenirs at the beginning of the trip

       C.make a trip to Blizzard Beach

       D.have your meals out at noontime

Which of the following can be used in place of “set you back”

       A.offer you  B.save you   C.return you D.cost you

You should pay more money if you         .

       A.have a five – day All – One Hopper Pass while you’re visiting for four days.

       B.do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance..

       C.are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder.

       D.have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase

In the writer’s opinion, the better way of meeting the Disney cartoon character is        .

       A.to have a character breakfast

       B.to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show

       C.to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks

A flock of wild ducks were flying in formation, heading south for the winter. They formed a beautiful V in the sky, and were admired by everyone who saw them from below.
