One of my favourite films is Mr. Bean At a Fancy（化装）Restaurant. In the film, after being 21 at his table，Mr. Bean takes out a 22 ，writes a few words on it，signs his name，puts it into an envelope and 23 it on the table．After a moment，he looks at the 24 but this time he looks surprised，as if he did not know it was there．He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see．
When he looks at the 25 ，an astonished look quickly 26 on his face．He takes all 27 out of his pockets，counts it and puts it in a saucer（碟子）．He then looks from the menu to the money with 28 until he finds one thing that makes him smile. He 29 a dish called “steak tartare.” When the dish arrives，he is 30 to discover that “steak tartare” is 31 a raw（生肉的）hamburger．He 32 an attempt to eat it，but it is 33 ，from the look on his face，that he finds the taste really terrible．He cannot 34 his feelings，except when the waiter asks whether everything is OK．He smiles and nods， 35 that everything is fine．36 no one is looking，however，he 37 himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can 38 ，inside a sugar bottle，a tiny flower vase and under a plate．He becomes so disappointed in the end that he 39 hides some inside the 40 of a woman sitting near him and throws some under the seat of the restaurant’s violinist！
I like to watch Mr. Bean on TV but I wouldn’t want to meet someone like him in real life．

Twelve years ago yesterday, my mother gave birth to the most beautiful girl. 31 , we were later given the 32 that this little girl, who was three and a half months old, would only have 14 days on the earth. It’s hard to understand what 
kind of 33 you have when you find out that you’re 34 something that you don’t even know.
As time went on, the number of days kept growing, which gave us 35 . When the doctors said that we could take her home
, that was 36 reality hit. We had no 37 .
I am from a small town with 38 hospitals, but when you don’t have money, you just don’t have it. My mother tried for days to get the money, but nothing 39 each time. A caseworker(社会工作者) was even doing her best. It’s 40 that it almost felt as if we had to 41 a baby from the hospital.
One day the caseworker walked into her boss’s office to 42 again. As she walked out, 43 down yet again, out of nowhere a man walked up to her. He 44 
her a handful of money and said, “Please give this to the lady in 45 , so she can take her daughter home.” She looked down at her hand with tears in her eyes. As she looked back up to thank him, he was 46 . They searched all over that hospital and he was no where to be 47 .
Thanks to the guy that I will 48 know, we could take hom
e that 49 baby girl that was only given 14 days to live, and celebrated her 12th birthday yesterday. I am grateful to this man and feel that his act of 50 should be shared with everyone.

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional（过渡的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus 
and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me. Or what he might 46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never heari
ng him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 52
of was the stubble（短须）on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 .
