The relationship between a son and his father changes over time. it may   36   and flourish(繁茂) in mutual maturity. It may fail in disliked dependence or independence.

The first   37   I have of him--of anything, really--is his strength. To a little boy right after World War II , a father seemed a god with strange strengths and powers   38   him to do and know any things in the world, such as putting a bicycle chain back on, building a hamster cage or guiding a jigsaw(拼板玩具) so it   39   the letter F. In fact, I learned the alphabet that way in those pre-television days.

There were, of course, rules to learn. First came the handshake.    40   of those fishy (冷冰冰的) little finger grips, but a good firm squeeze   41   by an equally strong gaze into the other’s eyes.

As time passed, there were other rules to learn. “Always do your best.” “Do it now.” “Never lie!” And most   42  , “You can do whatever you have to do.”

By my teens, he wasn’t telling me   43   to do anymore, which was scary and exciting at the same time. He   44   perspective (视角), not telling me what was around the great corner of life but letting me know there was a lot   45   just today and the next, which I hadn’t thought of.

With father, I   46   became a grown up.

But one day, I realize now, there was a(n)   47  .

A School fact   48   something he said. Impossible that he could be wrong, but there it was in the book. I began to see, too, his   49   spots, his prejudices and his weaknesses. I never threw these up at him. He hadn’t to me. I   50   asking his advice.

There seemed to be a   51   between us, which I found   52   to fill in.

After much thought and practice (“You can do whatever you have to do.”), one night last winter, I sat down by his bed. I told my father how much I   53   him and talked of some of my advice on him.

He said he knew how hard my   54   had been to say and how proud he was of me.

“I had the best teacher,” I said. “You can do whatever you have to do.” He smiled a little. And we shook hands once again,   55     .

   Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had looked into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of the book,” thought Alice, “without pictures and conversations?”
So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain(雏菊花环) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit- hole under the bush.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. ‘Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask.”
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
