There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know a thing about being a good father. I couldn’t   31 him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say “__32_  ” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a   33 .  Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. Not my dad ---- he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.

So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and   34  every penny I could and   35 I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to   36  to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, I’ll only   37 you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.

“I see,” was all he said.

One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a   38 to work. . The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house,   39  it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a(n)   40 day. As I dropped my dad off, I   41  him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his   42  from the trunk of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were   43  lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family. My father is a cement finisher. In that instant, it   44 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out,   45  hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him   46  about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.

When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to   47  me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my   48. Don’t work too hard. I love you.” His   49 met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he   50  his throat and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”

     Not too long ago, an incident that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly. A guest checking out of our Polynesian Village resort (度假勝地) at Walt Disney was asked how she  1   her visit. She told the front-desk clerk she had had a(n)   2   vacation, but was heartbroken about  3   several rolls of Kodak color film(膠卷) she had not yet  4  . At that moment she was particularly  5  over the loss of the pictures she had shot at our Polynesian Luau, as this was a memory she especially treasured.

     Now, please understand that we have no written service rules 6   lost photos in the park.  7   , the clerk at the front desk understood  Disney’s idea of caring for our 8 . She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of   9  film, promising she would take care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau.

     Two weeks later the guest received a  10   at her home. In it were photos of all the actors of our show, 11   signed by each performer. There were also 12  of the public procession (游行隊(duì)伍) and fireworks in the park, taken by the front-desk clerk in her own  13   after work. I happened to know this story because this guest wrote us a letter. She said that never in her life had she received such good service from any business.

Some time ago, a fellow teacher asked me to be the referee(仲裁人)  on the grading of an exam question. He was about to give a student a    1    for his answer to a physics question, while the student said he should receive a perfect    2   . I read the exam question: “Show how it is possible to    3   the height of a tall building with the    4    of a barometer(氣壓表) .”

The student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building, fasten a    5  

rope to it,   6    the barometer to the street, and then bring it up,   7    the length of the rope. That’s the    8   .”

I pointed out that the student really have a strong case for full credit(學(xué)分) ,since he had answered the question   9    and correctly, but the answer did not prove competence(能力)  in physics. I   10    that the student have another try. I gave the student six minutes, with the   11    that his answer should show some    12   of physics. His answer reads:

“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean    13    the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer,   14    its fall with a stop watch. Then using the formula s=1/2at²,calculate the height of the building.”

I gave the student    15    full credit.

Before I left, the student said he had   16    answers. “But,” said the student,   17    the best way is to knock at the superintendent’s(管理者)  door. When he    18    ,you say: “Mr. Superintendent, here I have a(n)    19    barometer. If you will tell me the height of the building, I will    20   you this barometer.”
