In the doorway of my home，I looked closely at my 23?year?old son，Daniel.In a few hours he would be flying to France to __1__ a different life.It was a transitional (过渡的) time in Daniel’s life.I wanted to __2__ him some words of significance.But nothing came from my lips，and this was not the __3__ time I had let such moments pass.

When Daniel was five，I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten.He asked，“What is it going to be like，Dad？Can I do it？” Then he walked __4__ the steps of the bus and disappeared inside.The bus drove away and I said nothing.A decade later，a similar __5__ played itself out.

I drove him to college.As I started to leave，I tried to think of something to say to give him __6__ and confidence as he started this new stage of life.Again，words __7__ me.

Now，as I stood before him，I thought of those __8__ opportunities.How many times have I let such moments __9__？I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what he has __10__ to me.Or what he might __11__ to face in the years ahead.Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him？__12__ as I stood before Daniel，I knew that it did matter.My father and I loved each other.Yet I always __13__ never hearing him put his __14__ into words.Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten.Why is it so __15__ to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry，and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.“Daniel，”I said，“if I could have picked，I would have picked you.” That’s all I could say.He hugged me.For a moment，the world __16__，and there were just Daniel and me.He was saying something，but tears misted my eyes，and I couldn’t understand what he was saying.All I was __17__ of was the stubble (短须) on his chin as his face pressed __18__ mine.What I had said to Daniel was __19__.It was nothing.And yet，it was __20__.

When I was a little boy, I lived in a small fishing village. The visit to the village reminded me of _______ of my childhood.

A. views 　　　　 B. scenes 　　　 B. scenery 　　　　 D. sights

 

The most unforgettable thing during my long summer holiday last year, of course is my trip 36 England. This was my first time to go abroad, so it really made me 37 .

　 There are quite a lot of interesting places in England, 38 Oxford. When we walked around Oxford, we saw quite a lot of ancient buildings on 39 sides of the streets. One of the most famous tourist 40 in Oxford is Christ(基督)Church, and it’s 41 one of Oxford University's 29 colleges. There is a huge hall in Christ Church, 42 was used as the dining hall at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter 43 . I felt really excited when I heard this.

　 44 place that impressed me 45 during my trip is a place called Stratford-upon-Avon. It is a small town. Maybe you haven't 46 it, but I'm sure you have heard about William Shakespeare-the great man's 47 . In Stratford-upon-Avon, I could 48 Shakespeare's Birthplace, Shakespeare Countryside Museum, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and a lot of places that are connected with 49 .

I went to Shakespeare's Birthplace. It was the house 50 Shakespeare was born and 51 his early years. 52 sitting room, hallway(走廊), bedrooms, and kitchen were furnished (布置) in sixteenth-century 53 . I also went to see the Shakespeare Exhibition. It illustrated(以图解说明) Shakespeare's life and career in both Stratford and London.

　 I really enjoyed this nice trip to England, 54 I learnt a lot. I'm very happy that I could visit such an interesting 55 . I want to go there again in the future.
