10 . This world is not really peaceful. The heartbroken scenes in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine are _________ day by day. I cannot help thinking about my unique family situation. I am the father of two adopted boys, one from Russia and the other from Ukraine, and I _________ them when they were very little.
Young men now, each _________ his way in life, but they still carry a strong _________ of their origins, although Alyosha less so than Anton. While Alyosha does not often _________ the land of his Russian birth, Anton’s feelings for Ukraine run deep: When Crimea (克里米亚)joined Russia in 2014, Anton was 17.
I’m grateful that _________ the conflict, they behave as if their _________ is one of blood.
In addition to _________, another word comes to mind: absence. I often see crowded _______ of mothers and children everywhere, huddled (蜷缩)in dark and __________ spaces on the news now. But my boys aren’t there. I also often see children crying as they hug tightly fathers who must __________ themselves to wars. But my sons are here, and I am available to them.
Especially, in these __________ times, when it is easy to draw battle lines and take __________, events have, instead, pushed my sons __________ together.
