One Sunday afternoon, Marion sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and said happily, “Happy birthday, Daddy. You’re 40 years old today, 31 I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for 　32　 !” When the boy started making good 33 his words, the father shouted: “ Michael, don’t do it now，I can’t come up with any ways to solve my 34 . I’m too busy!”

The boy soon fell silent as tears 35　 from his big blue eyes slowly. Feeling 36 , the father said, “You can finish later. Daddy is busy with business now. ” He hugged the boy hurriedly as well.

The boy said nothing but quietly walked 37　 . That evening the father said: “Michael, Come and finish your work now!” But the boy didn’t.

38　 , a few days later after the father’s birthday, the boy had a terrible 　39 and died. His sad father wrote, “If only I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my 　40 is hurting.”

Do remember: Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will it take it as a “No” and it can 　41 a scar(伤痕). If we don’t receive 　42 , our life will lose 　43 true meaning. 　44　 is more important than accepting love from those 　45 are near and dear to us.

Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course, he never said "I love you" to me, 26 . Maybe it's a Chinese cultural thing, or maybe that's the way my dad was. But whenever I felt 27 , sad or lonely, dad was always there. Dad was a man of few 28 , but I always liked to talk to him, and I could always feel a very special connection to him.

　 When I was in high school, dad retired and 29 a food stand（摊位）on the street near my school. Dad was very good at making fried noodles, and a lot of people liked his noodles. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really 30_ talking to dad in front of his food stand, 31 I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street!

　 One night, I couldn't 32 it any more and shouted, "Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don't need a father who sells noodles on the street!" At that moment, dad was shocked. He tried to say 33 but didn't. When he 34 his head away, something happened that I had never seen and would never forget 35 the rest of my life. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad 36 . My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such a fool , and even today I still feel _37 for that night.

Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home city. For the past ten years, whenever I've visited home, dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off 38 at the railway station. Whenever mom was calling me, dad would sit 39 her with a list of questions. He would ask mom to talk to me for him. That's the way dad is, and that's 40 dad shows his love to me.

Dad is still quiet, but I still feel a connection. —"a silent father's love."

　 It was the last day of the final examination in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence.

　 They knew the exam would be easy. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.

　 Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.

　 Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked. “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. “Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent(沉默). The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”

The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.
