1 

In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. I call these things  1  and love.

I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did  2  the water. Any kind of  3  ride seemed to give him pleasure.  4  he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being  5  the water, moving through it, having it all around me. I was not a strong  6  , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my  7  . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and  8  those summer days with my father, who  9  come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the  10  person not in swimsuit.

After swimming, I would go  11  his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me  12  anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk while he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his  13  . But my father always showed up and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s fine.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get  14  an ice cream…

A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is memory.” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but  15  , in that childhood, look at us.

　　The angry woman stood on the station platform (站台). “The railway should 1 me 12 pounds,” she said to Harry Jenks, the man in the booking office(订票处). “My 2 was for May 22nd, and that night there was no 3 from Jersey (British island in the English Channel 英吉利海峡). My daughter and I had to 4 in a hotel. It cost me 12 pounds.”

　　Harry was 5 . He remembered selling the woman a 6 ticket. “Please come into the office, madam,” he said 7 . “I'll just check(检查) the Jersey 8 for May 22nd.”

　　The woman and her little girl 9 him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon found out. There was no ship 10 on May 22nd. How had he made such a 11 mistake? As he didn't know what to do, he 12 at the child. “You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a 13 holiday in Jersey?”

　　“Yes,” she answered gladly, “the beach(海滩) was 14 . And I can swim too!”

　　“That's fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course, she's only three.”

　　“I'm four,” the child said 15 . “I'll soon be four and a half.”

　　Harry turned to the mother. “I 16 your ticket, madam,” he said. “But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?”

　　“Er, well…” The woman looked at the child. “I 17 she hasn't started school yet. She's only four.”

　　“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, madam. A child's return ticket to Jersey costs… let me see… 13. 50 pounds. So if you want the railway to pay 12 pounds for your 18 , you will have to pay the railway 13. 50 pounds 19 ．The law (制度) is the law, but the fault(过错) was mine.”

　　The woman stood up, took the child's hand and 20 the office.

I was waiting for the bus when I met the woman. “You look      . Come and sit here,” she said. “      are you going?”

“I don’t know. I just want to catch a      and see what it will be like at the end.”

“I’m afraid you’ll see      there. Why don’t you enjoy the sights on the way?”

“How can I do that while my heart’s      ?” I asked sadly. My best friend had left me.

The woman seemed to understand my feeling. “Don’t cry, little girl. I’ve had a similar experience to you. Thirty-five      ago, my husband left our three children and me. I was deadly sad. I decided to kill myself and the children, so I took      to the sea.       , they seemed to know what would happen, so they      loudly. Their cry suddenly woke me      . How could I      my hope to live for one of life’s problems? After that, I worked hard to raise the children. Now they all live      and one of them has his own family.”

Then the woman gave me a      , “We should never wait for the door to      before us. We should find the key to the      or try to find another way.”
