One morning, when I was 16, my father told me I could drive him to a remote village named Mijas, about 18 miles away, 36 that I take the car in to be serviced at a nearby 37. Having just learned to drive, and hardly ever having the 38 to use the car, I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas and 39 to pick him up at 4 P. M. ,then drove to a nearby garage and the car 40 in it. Because I had a few hours to 41, I decided to see a movie at a theater nearby. However, I was so 42 in the movie that I didn’t take any 43 of time. When the film was over, it was already 6 o’clock.

　 I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I had been watching movies, and not let me drive again. A good idea 44 me. I drove up to Mijas until I saw Dad waiting 45 on the corner, I explained to him that it was because the car had needed some major repairs that I was 46 . I will never forget the look he gave me.

“I’m so disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me. Jason. When you did not 47 , I called the garage to ask if there were any problems , and they told me that you hadn’t 48 the car.

I can see a feeling of sadness 49 him.

“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. Now I am 50 that I have failed as a father. I am going to walk home now and contemplate 51 I have done all these years.”

“But Dad, it is 18 miles to home. It’s dark. You can’t walk home.”

My 52 , my apologies and the rest of my utterances were of no use .Dad walked along the dusty roads silently in the dark, 53 thought. I pleaded all the way , telling him how sorry I was, but he simply 54 to pay any attention . Seeing my father in so much pain was the most painful experience that I have ever faced, 55 it was also the most successful lesson.

I passed all the other courses that I took at my University，but I could have never passed botany（植物学）．This was because all botany students had to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope（显微镜）at plant cells，and I could never once see a cell through a microscope．This used to make my professor angry．He would wander around the laboratory pleased with the progress all the students were making in drawing the structure（结构）of flower cells，until he came to me．I would Just be standing there． “I can’t see anything，”I would say．He would begin patiently enough, explaining how anybody can see through a microscope，but he would always end up angrily．claiming that I could too see through a microscope but just pretended that I couldn’t． “It takes away from the beauty of flowers anyway” I used to tell him．”We are not concerned with beauty in this course． “he would say．”We are concerned with the structure of flowers．”“Well，”I'd say．”I can’t see anything．” “Try it just once again．”he'd say，and I would put my eye to the microscope and see nothing at all，except now and again something unclear and milky．”You were supposed to see a clear，moving plant cells shaped 1ike clocks．”“I see what looks like a lot of milk．”I would tell him．This，he claimed，was the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly，so he would readjust it for me，or rather，for himself．And I would look again and see milk．

    I failed to pass botany that year，and had to wait a year and try again，or I couldn’t graduate．The next term the same professor was eager to explain cell一structure again to his classes． “Well，”he said to tile．happily．”we're going to see cells this time，aren't we?” “Yes，sir，”I said．Students to the right of me and to the left of me and in front of me were seeing cells；what’s more，they were quietly drawing pictures of them in their notebooks．Of course．I didn't see anything．

    So the professor and I tried with every adjustment of the microscope known to man．With only once did I see anything but blackness or the familiar milk，and that time I saw， to my pleasure and amazement，something 1ike stars．These I hurriedly drew．The professor，noting my activity，came to me，a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope．He looked at my cell drawing． “What’s that?” he asked．“That’s what I saw，”I said．”You didn’t，you didn’t，you didn’t!” he screamed，losing control of himself immediately，and he bent over and looked into the microscope．He r8ised his head suddenly．”That’s your eye!”．he shouted．”You’ve adjusted the microscope so that it reflects! You've drawn your eye!”
