8."Just sign here,sir,"the deliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.The package consisted of a long,narrow box (21)carefully wrapped in brown paper.(22)opening the box,Oscar saw an umbrella inside--a very old one with a beautifully carved handle.(23)AlthoughHe had not seen it in more than 20years,he recognized it (24)immediately.

Oscar (28)convinced the manager to look in the record of advance ticket sales.Just as he thought,a name matched the seat (29)where Oscar had found the umbrella.The name was Mrs.Katie O'brien.
Oscar talked his grandparents into going by Mrs O'brien's (30)house on their way home.He rang the bell,the door opened,and an elderly woman appeared."May I (31)help you?"she asked.
"I'd like to return it if its yours,"Oscar said,(32)holdingout the umbrella as if presenting a (33)gift that had long been wished for.
"Why,yes!it's mine,"replied Mrs.Brien with a (34)wide smile and shining eyes."It was given to by my father years ago.Thank you so much for returning it.May I offer you a reward for your (35)kindness?"
"No,ma'am,"he said"my grandmother says a good deed is its own reward."
"Well,that's (36)exactly my father used to say.What is your name,Young man?"
Years later,Oscar was staring at the finely carved handle of the umbrella as he remember Mrs.O'Brien.It was in perfect condition,considering how(37)old it was.Why had it arrived here today?
As if (38)inanswer,a note fell from the paper.It read:Mrs O'brien wanted you to (39)accept this umbrella as a present for a kind,(40)unselfishgesture long ago.

So it was with really great(40)satisfactionthat I stood in church one recent Sunday,video camera in hand,and (41)keptmy 68-year-old father sweating in his shirt (42)beforerising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since childhood,but his family was poor and couldn't (43)affordlessons.He could have gone on regretting it,(44)astoo many of us do.But though he was rooted in his past,he wasn't (45)stuckthere.When he retired three years ago,he (46)persuaded his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard,he (47)simplystared down at his fingers.Has he forgotten the (48)notes?I worried,remembering those split seconds(49)decadesago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would (50)freeze.But then came the beautiful melody(旋律),from the(51)samefingers that once baited(装饵于) my fishing lines.And I(52)realizedhe had been doing what music teachers always stress:(53)concentrateonthe music and pretend the others aren't there.
"I'm (54)proudof him for starting something new at his age,"I said to my son Jeff.
"Yeah,and doing it so(55)nicely,"Jeff added.
With his first recital,my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30-plus years ago.
