4．That was the morning，when John，14-year-old，was to begin his duck shooting．He had（41）Cthe whole idea ever since his father had bought him a gun and had（42）Bhim a trip to this island，but he loved his father and wanted to （43）Ahim．They came to the beach．To ease（减轻） the sense of（44）D，he took a picture of his father．Then he put the camera aside and（45）Bthe gun．His father said（46）A，"I've been waiting a long time for this day．I'll let you shoot．"He leaned forward，eyes narrowed．"There is a small flight now．Keep your head down； I'll give you the word．"
John's heart was（47）Bwildly．"No，don't let them come，please!"But they came，closer，closer…"Now，take them!'"cried his father．John felt his body （48）B．He stood up，leaned into the gun the way his father taught him．In the same distance，the ducks saw the gunners and flared wildly．For a second he hung there and balanced between life and death．There was no sound．John stood （49）D，seizing the gun．
"What happened？Why didn't you shoot？"His father said in a controlled voice．The boy didn't answer．His lips were trembling．"Because they were so（50）B．"He said and burst into tears．He sat down，face（51）Cin his hands and wept．All hope of pleasing his father was （52）C．He had his （53）Aand he failed．
（54）Ca moment his father was silent．And then he said，"Let's try again．"John didn't （55）Bhis hands．"It's no use．I can't．"
"Hurry，you'll miss him．Here!"Cold metal touched John．He looked up，（56）B．His father was handing the camera to him and said softly．"Quick!"John stood up and pressed his shutter release（快门） button in a flash．"I got him．"His face was （57）C．
John saw there was no（58）Bin his father's eyes，only pride and love．"I'll always love shooting．But that doesn't mean you （59）D．Sometimes it takes as much （60）Cnot to do a thing as to do it．"He paused．"I think you could teach me how to operate that machine．"
