More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very   31  , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for    32  , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted   33  . If he ever noticed or was    34  , he never showed that he knew.

    It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine   35   - and because of that, we didn’t say much   36   we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

    Our   37   walk was to or from the subway, which was   38   he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would   39   it to the office even if others could not. A matter of   40  .

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or   41  . What he looked for   42   others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the   43   was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper   44   by which to judge people, even though I   45   don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is.   46   I know the times I don’t have one myself.

    He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he   47   I was unwilling to be seen with him during our   48  . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling   49   to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.

    At such times I put my hand on his arm to   50   my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

31.A. weak    B. depressed   C. short             D. cautious

32.A. balance        B. strength       C. comfort        D. courage

35.A. delighted     B. impatient     C. sympathetic         D. determined

36.A. before B. since    C. as         D. once

37.A. common       B. ordinary       C. average        D. usual

38.A. how      B. why      C. when   D. where

39.A. get       B. make   C. take     D. walk

40.A. joy        B. faith     C. belief   D. pride

41.A. rich       B. successful    C. able      D. hardworking

42.A. on         B. in C. at          D. with

43.A. owner  B. keeper C. winner D. other

44.A. method        B. value    C. standard               D. level

45.A. yet        B. also      C. ever     D. still

46.A. And      B. But       C. Now     D. Then

47.A. sensed          B. smelled        C. agreed          D. recognized

48.A. walks   B. talks     C. stays    D. visits

49.A. afraid   B. proud   C. ashamed      D. disappointed

50.A. find       B. keep     C. refill     D. regain

I was fifteen months old, a happy kid until the day I fell. It was a    31   fall. I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to make it blind. Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched(缝合) the eyeball together where it was    32  , leaving a big ugly scar(疤痕) in the middle of my eye. The attempt    33  , but my mother, in all of her wisdom, found another doctor who knew that if the eye were removed    34  , my face would grow up badly distorted(扭曲),   35   my scarred, sightless, cloudy and gray eye lived on with me. As I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways    36   me.

I walked with my face looking at the    37   so that people would not see the    38   me. Yet my mother would say to me, at every turn, “Hold your head up high and    39   the world. If you hold your head up high, it will be OK, and people will see your    40   soul.” She continued this    41   whenever I was trying to hide.

Mama’s words were of great help for me to face the world    42  . As a teenager, even though I tended to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when I held my head up high and let people know me, they    43   me. In high school, I was    44   both academically and socially. I was    45   elected class president. My mother’s words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them    46   the intelligence and beauty behind both eyes, even if they couldn’t see it on the    47  .

Now I’m a happy wife and great mother. The message “Hold your head up high,” has been

   48   many times in my   49   home. Each of my children has felt    50   invitation, and the gift my mother gave me has lived on in another generation.

A number of times Rosemary edged closer to Gordon , meaning to take his arm, but he edged away from her. She thought that she had offended him deeply, and that he was disappointed because she had pushed him away. She would have apologized if he had given her half a chance. But as a matter of fact, he was scarcely thinking of this any longer. It was the money business that was troubling him now. And the fact was that he would soon have to confess it. What nonsense it made of all he had said! Presently she stopped him, and swung him round to face her. “Gordon, why won’t you speak to me?” she said. “Are you still angry with me for what happened just now?”

“No, I was never angry with you. You’re not to blame. Something else has been worrying me all the way along, I’ve only eight pence left. I had just enough money for today when we started out, but that dinner bill upset everything. Can you lend me some money?’

Rosemary was amazed. “What does it matter if you’ve only eight pence left? How can you let yourself be worried by a thing like that? As though I objected to lending you money, aren’t I always telling you that I want to pay for myself when we go out together?’

“Yes, and you know how I hate you paying.”

“Oh, how silly you are.” She said. “Do you think there’s anything to be ashamed of in having no money?”

Gordon’s face went bright pink. “Of course there is ! It’s the only thing in the world there is to be ashamed of. I can’t be a complete human being—I don’t feel a human being –unless I’ve got money in my pocket.”
