Question

  My father and I were very close friends. I am fond of pleasing him,and he was always 1        of my success. If I won a spelling contest (競賽) at school,he was on top of the world.2        in life no matter when I got a promotion (提升) ，I'd ring up my father at once and he'd rush out to tell all his friends excitedly. In 1970,when I was 3        president of the Ford Motor Company,I don't know which of us was more 4        .

  Like many 5        Italians,my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only 6       ,but also in public. Most of my friends would 7        hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity (機會) because nothing could have 8        more natural.

  He was a curious man who was always willing to 9        out new things. He was the 10        person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately,my father and his motorcycle didn't 11        along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after 12        it. As a result,he never again trusted any vehicle with 13        four wheels. Because of that motorcycle,I wasn't 14        to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike,I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other 15,my father let me drive a car as soon as I became sixteen.
