So my dad just follows his normal _________, analyzing patients’ diseases and performing chest operations.

With all kinds of compliments toward my dad, I became ___________. My dad has been a doctor long before this COVID-19 outbreak; why has no one else praised him as a hero before? Didn’t he __________ such compliments when this disease wasn’t around?

Well, they are indeed heroes, and they made marvelous achievements. __________, are the pages of heroes just prepared for these so-called “supermen” and “superwomen”?
