When you got 4 to him, he smelled like the ocean. However much Mother washed his clothes, they would 5 smell of the sea and fish.
He had an old truck and would drive me to school when the weather was 6 . He used his truck in is his fishing 7 . On the way to school, the old truck would 58 a cloud of smoke. Soon he would stop right in front of the school. Then he would 9 over and give me a big 10 on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so uncomfortable for me. Here, I was twelve years old and 11 old for a goodbye kiss!
One day, when we got to the school, he had his usual big 12 . He started to lean toward me, but I 13 my hand up and said, “No, Dad. I don’t want a goodbye kiss.” Then he had a(n) 14 look on his face, and he looked at me for a long time. I saw his eyes were 15 with tears. “Yes, you have grown up and don’t need a kiss any more. Then I won’t ” he said.
It wasn’t long after that when my father went to 16 and never came back.
No one knows 17 I would give to have my father give me just one 18 kiss on the cheek … to feel his rough old face … to 19 the ocean on him … to feel his arm around my 20 . I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told him I didn’t like his goodbye kiss.

I was bleeding now. My ears were red, my nose was broken, and the pain of failure was beginning. I had lost. It was over. The match was stopped. The world seemed to stand still for a moment as I looked at who had beaten me. “I’ve lost,” I said in m mind. “The last chance to win and I had lost.” It was the final round of wrestling. It was my last year at camp and I wanted to have an undefeated season. But now, I had lost in the tournament（锦标赛）.
My coach came over to help me up. He saw that my nose was broken and realized that the match had to be stopped. He helped me up and I got small applause from my teammates. People on the other team just stared. Coach walked me over to the locker room to work on my nose.
“I’ll stop the bleeding,” Coach Matt said. His voice was cold and empty. He had expected me to win—he knew I could have won—but now he saw it was over. I had lost.
“Hey, Steve. You did good, man, He, well, he just…” my friend Paul couldn’t find what to say.
“Forget it, man.” I said, my nose still bleeding.
“Don’t talk or it won’t stop bleeding. Just relax and breath through your mouth.” Coach Matt’s voice was still cold, but warming slowly. He was like a father to me. He had been there through all my years of wrestling, all my wins and losess , all my hopes and dreams—and now he was there, fixing my smashed nose.
“This must have happened during that last throw. You fell too much on your face. You should’ve turned and tried to escape. You gotta think more.” Coach Matt began, his voice now warm like an old friend trying to give good advice.
“I wanted this so badly.” I said.
“Maybe we can get another contest because of the nose. You can still go undefeated! You can still do it…” Paul continued.
No, I lost. Nothing was left for me to do this year. This was supposed to be the year—no loses.” I said, cutting him off before he finished.
“Steve, you did your best. Come on. Let’s go and get your medal,” Coach said. He looked at me right in the eyes. “You gave it your all. You deserved that trophy(战利品), not the silver medal. You deserve it, but he is getting it. You really won and the whole team is proud.”
I walked up to get my medal, my head held high. I shook the hands of the judges and my opponent, took m medal and saw that, in the eyes of everyone, I had really won. No matter what trophy or medal my opponent took home, no matter what. He may have had my trophy, but he could never have my will.

Very often, the human eye and brain can recognize familiar shapes even if all but a few significant points are left out. It is this creative power of the human eye and brain that may someday allow profoundly deaf people to talk in sign language over a special "telephone". Researchers have found that thirteen spots of light on each hand and one spot on the nose--to show head motion and provide a reference point for hand position--are sufficient for the performing of American Sign Language. The bright spots are produced by attaching pieces of a special tape to the nose, fingertips, and wrists and adjusting a closed-circuit television system so that only the bright spots appear on the screen of the receiver. After a few minutes of familiarization, pairs of deaf people are able to communicate freely over television. Deaf people and other sign readers can, of course, understand sign language on commercial television. But widespread link-ups of television systems for personal communication are economically impossible because a standard picture requires about one thousand times more information than a telephone circuit can carry. The researchers think it likely that the simplified picture of twenty-seven moving dots used in their experiments can be reduced to the capacity of a telephone line.
