My father was dying of cancer and no one could save his life. All my family could do was    21    Dad at home until his death. I was then a    22    and was taking a required course twice every week.

A week before the   23   ended, Dad’s condition became terminal (晚期的). I knew I    24    to let my professor know that I might be    25   from the classes. I told him the truth in his office and asked if he would allow me to   26  up for the classes later. The professor looked down at his book and then    27    said, “Don’t worry. The course    28    for you today. You’ve been an A student. How would this change in a    29   ?  Go home to your father. That is    30    you need to be.” A few days later, as I    31    my father during his last hours, I knew that the professor’s kindness had    32    the heavy burden from my heart. The kindness also made it    33    for me to give all my    34    to my father during his last days. Until today, I still treasure the memory of being    35    to be at home with my father at the time of his death.

Now, I have been a    36   . Over the years, I have had several occasions to    37    that professor’s example as I worked with my students,    38    tragedy in their own lives.  Yes, I did learn about research methods in his class. However, the    39    of a teacher’s understanding and sympathy    40    the greatest lesson I learnt from him.
