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 lives 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 soon 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."
