In the depth of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things have come to represent , in fact, what I call 　16　 　and love.

I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did　 17　 the water. Any kind of _18_ ride seemed to give him pleasure. __19__ he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

But I never really like being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being _20_ the water, moving through it, _21_ it all around me. I was not a strong __22__ , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my __23__. But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and __24_ those summer days with my father, who __25_ come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father could stand there in his suit, the __26_ person not in swimsuit.

After swimming, I would go __27___ his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me __28__ anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk __29__ he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his __30_. But my father always __31_ and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s __32__.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get __33_ an ice cream…

A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is __34__.” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our momeries, but __35_, in that childhood, looks at us.
