完形填空

　　Time is very important in our lives．It 　　1　　 our everybody moments．However, time never had any 　　2　　 in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more 　　3　　．

　　It’s round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist．And all of it is made of silver．This 　　4　　 tells me the importance of time in my life．

　　I received this 　　5　　 on a gray-sky day．I had to go to the airport at 9∶00 am to 　　6　　 up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house 　　7　　, I was late because I was 　　8　　 out with my friends．Later on that day, around 11∶00 am, I 　　9　　 my uncle, but I was very 　　10　　 for him．He had 　　11　　 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house．

　　I got to my father’s house at 2∶00 pm on the same day and looking at my angry father’s face I felt 　　12　　 of myself at that moment．After I said hi to my 　　13　　 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch as a gift from him．Then he said,“Essa, did you have 　　14　　 with your friends today?”I answered,“Yes, father, and I’m sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali．”He said,“What you 　　15　　 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your 　　16　　．”I was ashamed and said,“Father, I’ll never do it again, I promise．”He said,“I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 　　17　　 for you．”He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 　　18　　．

　　I learned a very important lesson from my father：to 　　19　　 time and never be late to get someone．This watch is 　　20　　 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it．
