In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to
36 a different life. It was a transitional（过渡的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to
37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the
38 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked
39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar
40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him
41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words
42 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those
43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments
44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have
45 to me. Or what he might
46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?
47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always
48 never hearing him put his
49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so
50 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world
51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was
52 of was the stubble（短须）on his chin as his face pressed
53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was
54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was
55 .

人生感悟类阅读的概念：

一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
