13.All of my students I taught at Saint Mary's School in Morris,Minnesota were dear to me,but Mark was one in a million.His happytobealive attitude made even his occasional naughtiness(31)A.
Mark talked(32)Bin class.I had to remind him again and again that talking without(33)Bwas unacceptable.What impressed me so much,though,was his sincere response every time I had to correct him for misbehaving,"Thank you for correcting me,Madam!"I didn't know what to make of it at first,but before long I became(34)C hearing it many times a day.
However,one morning my patience was(35)D when Mark talked once too often.I warned Mark,"If you say one more word,I am going to tape your mouth(36)C!"
It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck blurted out(脱口说出),"Mark is talking again."I hadn't asked any of the students to help me(37)AMark,but since I had stated the(38)Cin front of the class,I had to act on it.
Taking out a roll of masking tape from the drawer of my desk,I walked to Mark's desk,(39)Btwo pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.I then returned to the(40)Dof the room.

Several years passed until one cold rainy day when my father broke the news to me that Mark was killed in Vietnam War,I broke down and cried in my heart,"Mark,I would give all the masking tape in the world(45)Cyou could talk to me!"

10.A Faithful Father

This morning,however,I stayed seated,just (32)A,with the baby in my arms.The thoughts ran into (33)D of the mornings with my husband,a father rushing out of the door to meet the obligations of life.It was only a small jump to thoughts of my own (34)D.

Setting the baby down,I dialed the (38)D number.I had just realized the (39)B of the ordinary-the daily life going on around us that we often took for granted,and that it needed to be (40)A.
"Hi,Dad."I said,(41)C back tears.
"Hey,Bud.How are you?"(42)D was in his voice.
"Fine,I'm just calling to say…thank you."I got it out before my throat (43)D too much for me to speak.
"What for?"
"For getting up and going to work every morning of my life.Now that I have my own
(44)A and I see my husband doing the same,I just wanted to thank you for being (45)B."
There was (46)C for a moment as my dad composed himself,and with a small (47)A in his voice he said,"You're welcome,Bud."
I don't remember much of the rest of the call,(48)B that moment of revelation (显露) about my father,I will never forget.There are those who are known for their heroic (49)B,and also those who are known for their fortunes and fame,but it is the (50)C everyday fathers who are the true heroes.I'm thankful that my father was one of them.
