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.

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 . She was certain that she’d never 48 at college. How 49 her worries sounded. 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.
