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 41 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的)time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 42 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 43 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 44 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 45 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 46 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 47 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 48 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 49 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 50 to me. Or what he might 51 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? 52 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 53 never hearing him put his 54 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 55 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 56 , 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 57 of was the stubble(短须)on his chin as his face pressed 58 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 59 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 60 .

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My 【小题1】 began when I was just a kid. I 【小题2】 becoming a doctor. My mother was a worker. Through her work, she observed that 【小题3】 people spent a lot more time reading than they 【小题4】 watching television. She announced that my brother and I
【小题5】watch two to three TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and then 【小题6】 her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 【小题7】 . My mother was illiterate (文盲的).
When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I 【小题8】 the fashionable clothes. I wanted to 【小题9】 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home after 【小题10】 at one of her several jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing (擦洗) floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy 【小题11】 food and pay the bills. With the money that is 【小题12】 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 【小题13】 with that plan, but once I had finished paying for all of the important things, there was 【小题14】 left. I realized that my mother was always dealing with money well to be able to 【小题15】 a roof over our heads and to put food on the table. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. _【小题16】__ required intellectual (智力的) preparation. I went back to my 【小题17】 and became an A-student again. Finally, I 【小题18】 my dream and I became a doctor. My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with 【小题19】 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. Now I believe that there is no job more 【小题20】 than parenting.
