Ⅲ .完形填空

The sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sounds just exactly as it did 15 years ago, which reminded me of my girlhood.

It was my second day of __1__ and it was raining heavily. I couldn't __2__ the habit I had at home, so I fell asleep right at my __3__. I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad's back. We were __4__ home. It was the last time I felt __5__ to him.

After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered by this __6__. I was proud of it, for I felt __7__ and “grown up”. However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought __8__ from him.

One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, __9__ me scratching(亂涂) the paper. Then he said, “ This kind of writing needs __10__. Your writing is not strong enough. Press harder.”

I followed his __11__ for the next two weeks, but __12__ I could see little improvement, I followed my own method—the __13__ way. His advice didn't improve my writing but our __14__. As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his __15__ in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in town then, so he was considered to be a __16__. People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.

He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to count on you. We are __17__ to improve you anything for your future. You have to get __18__ to change the life for yourself.”

As a result of his __19__， I have __20__ it through high school and through college.
