C

People have sailed （航行）the world in quite small boats . It is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes the weather gets bad. That can be the end of everyone in it. Accidents can happen easily and quickly .

One family once had an accident with some big fish. The fish swam under their boat and bit（咬）holes in it. Sea water came in, of course , and the boat soon sank （下沉）. However, these people had another smaller boat----a life-boat, and they all got into that. They lived and hoped for many days. They ate and slept, and they always hoped…At last a ship found them .

How do people live in a very small life-boat? Perhaps for weeks or months? They must be strong in every way . They must have hope----they must want to live: But you cannot eat and drink hope.

You cannot drink sea water: Drink a lot of sea water and you will quickly die . Sailors （水手）can drink rain water. They must catch rain water in their boat. They must also catch fish and birds for food . Life-boats do not often carry a cooker, so the sailors cannot cook their food. Raw （生的）fish and bird-meat is not very nice . But in a life-boat the sailors must eat raw food, or they will die.

What do people think about in a life-boat? They think about land , a warm bed, dry clothes , fresh water and food , food , food .

My 18-year-old sister eloped(私奔) and with it, I saw how weak my father’s heart was. We were used to seeing him as a(n) 3 father.
For three days he wouldn’t talk. He would just sit 4 outside our house in the dark. On the fourth night, I sat beside him and 5 him to tell me what he feels about everything.
It has been years since I have laid my hand on my father’s shoulder as we have drifted apart (疏远) farther and farther while I was 6 up. That night though, I sensed my father trying to 7 his pain and I wanted him to be able to let it out. We all have cried over what happened except him.

When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays. On the way home, Dad  36 stopped at the Dairy Queen for 10-cent ice creams. I couldn’t 37 it, but I could pray from the   38 we started heading home to that corner where we would either go straight for the ice cream or 39 and go home empty-handed. That corner 40 either mouth-watering excitement or 41 .
On one special day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the 42 sound of his offer. It   43 . “Would you like an ice cream today?” “That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said, “How would you like to 44  today?”
Twenty cents! My mind reeled（震惊）. I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents, plus some 45  for odd jobs（零活）. But 46 it was my money, ice cream wasn’t a good use of it. In a fit of  47 , I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll   48 .”My father just said, “Okay, Son.”
But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to 49 . But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt 50 for my selfishness and ungratefulness. He didn’t mind, or  51 act disappointed.
I   52 that generosity（慷慨）goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than “thank you”. On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the 53  ice cream I’d ever had.
I’ll tell you one more thing. We 54 another trip the next week. As we 55 the corner, I said, “Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat.”
