More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very   31  , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for    32  , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted   33  . If he ever noticed or was    34  , he never showed that he knew.

    It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine   35   － and because of that, we didn’t say much   36   we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

    Our   37   walk was to or from the subway, which was   38   he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would   39   it to the office even if others could not. A matter of   40  .

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or   41  . What he looked for   42   others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the   43   was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper   44   by which to judge people, even though I   45   don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is.   46   I know the times I don’t have one myself.

    He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he   47   I was unwilling to be seen with him during our   48  . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling   49   to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.

    At such times I put my hand on his arm to   50   my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

31．A. weak    B. depressed   C. short             D. cautious

32．A. balance        B. strength       C. comfort        D. courage

33．A. care     B. attention     C. situation      D. friendship

34．A. puzzled         B. confused      C. amazed        D. bothered

35．A. delighted     B. impatient     C. sympathetic         D. determined
