It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s (宇航员) son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect(完美的)．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．

Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering（发现）a new star．I was daydreaming （做白日梦）at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”

When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．No，I wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged （拥抱）me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world-famous astronaut．He was my dad．

My parents and l went to school on Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed（失望）at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat（喉咙）and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this is the proudest（自豪的）moment of my life．’’

It was the proudest moment of my life，too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

Even a child knows that nodding the head means" Yes"．But some people will probably be puzzled（迷惑的）when they first come to India．When they talk to an Indian，he often shakes his head．They might think that the Indian does not like what he said，but on the contrary，he is expressing agreement．
The Indians have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody．It doesn’t mean" No"，but" Yes"．
If a person doesn’t know this，it might cause misunderstanding（误解）．
At one time a foreigner in India told his driver who was an Indian to take him to his office．The driver shook his head．The foreigner said his request again and the driver still shook his head．At last，the foreigner shouted angrily，“Drive me to my office at once!” The driver said in a low voice，" Yes，sir，"smiling and shaking his head again at the same time．
