       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   36   a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to   37   him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the   38   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     39     the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40   played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him  41    and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words   42   me.

       Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those    43   opportunities. How many times have I let such moments   44   ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have   45   to me. Or what he might want to face in the years   46  . 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?   47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always   48   never hearing him put his    49   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50   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   51   , 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   52   of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed    53    mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54   . It was nothing. And yet, it was    55     .

There is one word that is on the lips of Americans , day and night , “Sorry”.
One time as I was walking on the street , a young man ran by hurriedly , brushing against my handbag . Even as he continued on his way , he turned back and said “sorry” to me . Even in a rush , he didn’t forget to apologize .
One day , after I bought some apples , the salesman was giving me the change , but I wasn’t ready for it , and a coin dropped on the ground, “I’m sorry ,” he said while bending down to pick it up . I was puzzled —why would he apologize when it was my fault ?
Another time , I stepped on a man’s foot in an escalator . At the same time , we both said “sorry” . I thought it interesting : was it really necessary for him apologize ?  
Later on , an American friend explained to me that according to the American ideas, the escalator is public place which everyone should be able to stand in . After someone occupies a position in the escalator , making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand in , isn’t it necessary to express an apology ?
During my stay in America , I gradually realized that when friction (摩擦) occurs in daily life , Americans don’t care much about who is responsible . If someone is troubled , a “sorry” is always necessary . Even if the other person is hurt , the “sorry” would cool tempers . Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone quarreling on the buses , subways or streets in America .
