完形填空
My wife and I had just finished the 150-mile trip home from our daughter's college.It was the first
time in our liv
es that we would _
1_ for any length of time.We wondered how other people had _
2_ it.
Later in bed, I _
3_ the time I started college.My father had driven me, too.My mother had to stay home
to keep the _
4_from getting into the crops.I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first to _
5_ college.
The truck was slow, and I was glad.I didn't want to get to the city _
6_.I shook hands with my father
in the truck and he didn't say a word.But I knew he was going to make a little _
7_.He finally said, "I
never went to college and _
8_of your brothers did.I can't say don't do this or that, because everything
is _
9_and I don't know what is going to come up, but I think things will
10 .When you get a job, be
sure to be honest and work hard."I knew that so
on I would be
11 in the big town and I would be
12 the life home.
Then my father
13 the Bible (圣经) that he had read so often.I knew that he would miss it but I
must
14 it.He just said, "This can help you
15 you will let it."
When I finished school I took the Bible
16 to my father.But he said he wanted me to
17 it.
Now, too late, I remember.It would have been so
18 to give it to my daughter when she got
out of the car.But I didn't.My father could give me only a Bible, but I don't really believe now that I
gave her half as
19 as my father gave me.So the next morning I
20 up the book and sent it to her.
I wrote a note."This can help you, " I said, "if you will let it."
