文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了我和跛脚的爸爸之间的故事。爸爸脚跛了,走路时需要支撑我来保持平衡,我为此还感觉难堪。多年之后,我才意识到,其实是爸爸在帮助我获得平衡。
More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was young, I didn’t want to be seen with my father. He was short and crippled (瘸), and when we_______together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would look at us. It was _______ to coordinate (协调) our steps, and we didn’t _______much as we went along, just keeping silent. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to_______with you. ”
In my memory, my father went to work every day, rain or shine. He almost never _______ a day, even if others could not. Meanwhile he had to _______the unkind laughter from others. When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much_______it must have taken him to make a living under such_______. Although disabled, my father still tried to take part in activities in his own way. When a baseball team didn’t have a manager, he kept it _______. He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to the________. He also liked to go to parties, where he could have a good time________sitting and watching.
I now________that he took part in some things through me, his only son. He________me all the time. When I played ball, he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. He was ________ to spend all his time staying with me.
He never talked about himself as an object of________, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate. What he________in others was a “good heart’’, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper rule by which to________people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. Sometimes I wonder if he ________my unwillingness during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, and how I________it. At such times I would put my hand on his arm to get my________, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to stay with you. ”
