The beginning of a Frank Sinatra song drifted across the dance floor and I knew my dad would call out and request that, which for most people is very 36 .
As he walked towards me to ask for the first 37 , I could see there were 38 in his eyes .I grasped the side of my chair, 39 myself up with my arms ,and grabbed the two metal sticks which keep me 40 as I stood to take his hand.
It took all my will to 41 my own tears and inside a voice kept 42 : “Don’t fall over ,Martine.” We grabbed each other and in some way shuffled（穿梭）out a dance for the whole of the song.
For my dad, it was a turning point. He had 43 his friends on his 70th birthday he would lead his daughter in the first dance, 44 he had done so many times before .Almost a year after the suicide bomb on the London Underground train which blew 45 both my legs above the knee ,I had managed to realize his 46 .Like so much that has happened over the last 12 months, there was something 47 about the moment.
Today, on July 1, as I face the first anniversary of the terrorist 48 , I am preparing to leave the country for a while. I know I 49 be celebrating the fact that I am alive, 50 I do not feel able to remain in London for the event.
Psychologically, I am a different person. I am very body conscious. When I go out I am 51 that children will make fun of me on my artificial legs. In my wheelchair I cover my lower half with a blanket 52 what remains of my body draws 53 glances.
Despite my brave claims of what I would do when I left the hospital in March ,the reality is that I will 54 be able to do many things .I thought I would be able to wear my artificial legs all day ,to run ,to go out alone. But that is just not possible.
I keep asking myself, 55 does it become normal? Is this normal now?

All the World Asks
On my first day in a college classroom , I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization (文明世界) after having been lost in the forest for thirty years . There I sat, 36 enough to be a father to most of the students in the room , 37 unconfident enough to be their baby brother . We were crowded elbow (肘部) to elbow , listening to a 38 who looked even younger than the students . I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully 39 what she expected us to learn. As I listened, I couldn’t help but 40 of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in 41 , just like me. I remembered how hard I had tried to help build self-confidence in her and my other children. So why did I suddenly feel like a scared 42 myself? When I walked out of that classroom, I had serious 43 about my ability to make it 44 college. Not until late that night did my thinking 45 . It was a long-distance 46 from my daughter, my fellow college freshman (新生), that did the trick . She spoke on the phone about the doubts, worries and anxieties she was 47 .

In my most confident parental 50 , I said, “Doing your best it all the world 51 .” The next day in class, those words still repeated in my head. When the professor raised a 52 for the class, nobody, including me, 53 to answer. When I looked around at the 54 and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew 55 what I had to do: my best. That’s all the world asks. So raised my hand, and the professor called my name. I spoke.

I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a bookshop
36 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 38 interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it 39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the 40 , I would become more mature(成熟) and 41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
Like many 42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they
43 a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 44 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 45 for me. In the end, my father won the 46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 47 through the country who could 48 shelter and help if I need them.
Three years later, my younger brother decide to 49 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not 50 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 51 year working his way on trains and ships to 52 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly 53 . Most parents start 54 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have 55 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.

Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 36 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we 37 this same right to our children.
When I see a child 38 from this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 39 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 40 answered questions — he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his 41 . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all 42 her very much.
One morning, we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 43 the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I 44 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 45 . He’d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 46 . From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.
“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently 47 the tear-stained (弄脏的) face from his arms. “I’ve got something to 48 you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
“See these 49 , Donnie,” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 50 ? That’s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you 51 learn to do, too.”
She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on 52 desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 53 teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
The 54 became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 55 him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.

It was a bottle of perfume（香水）. I was happy with it, yet 39 as to what lay ahead. Next she handed me a box. After 40 away the wrapping paper, I found a stylish and expensive sweater.

It was the soundtrack to the movie“Rocky”, with songs inspiring to all athletes, dreamers…I 44 loved it, but not as much as I would after what my sister explained to me.
She was 45 to a knee injury that 46 me half of my soccer season. I desired to be with my team-mates and 47 each minute I sat on the bench. I tried hard, hoping my knee injury would heel soon. This was what led my sister to buying that CD.
After mentioning what was behind the 48 , Amy played the CD for me. Even though I had heard those songs a thousand times, each note struck me as if it was 49 . It played in my soul and on my emotions. I 50 breathlessly, as the words“Trying hard now. It’s so hard now”sounded through the room. It 51 me in a way beyond the happiness most gifts could bring. I couldn’t 52 crying and hugged my sister. Knowing that my sister had 53 my problem so deeply made me realize that I am the 54 little sister in the world. I had never received a gift with so much 55 behind it！ I’ll cherish it forever.
