Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our 36 about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were 37 us to start our journey.
Then one morning our dream 38 . We hired a car and drove 39 to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes 40 on either side of the road 41 before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (抚摸) our skin and in 42 spirits we were singing merrily.
When we reached Blao Pass, we saw a white 43 in front of us. We 44 down the pass. It seemed to us that the young girl in the white car did not want to be 45 as she was driving at full speed. Suddenly she lost 46 of her car; it turned to the left and crashed into the slope and 47 .
Quite frightened, we braked 48 and jumped out of our car. We turned her car over and pulled out the girl who was 49 in the car. The girl had narrowly escaped death.

Reading her thoughts, we took off our shirts and began to 53 the punctured tyre. We then put on the 54 wheel for her. As soon as the work had been done, we started our 55 again and followed Da Huong Lan—the girl we had helped.

Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (cheat). When someone tells you something that is true, but 36 important information that should be included, he can create a false 37 .
For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the 38 . It was great. I 39 that ticket back to the store and turned it in 40 one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then 41 I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a 42 . He was 43 a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, 44 he left out important information 45 . That’s called a half—truth. Half—truths are not technically 46 , but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this 47 . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her 48 lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another 49 . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s 50 . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s 51 the law to make false claims, so they 52 to mislead you with the truth. An ad 53 blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten 54 , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of 55 deception happens too often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well.

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 41 a different life. It was a transitional（过渡的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 42 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 43 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 44 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 45 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 46 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 47 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 48 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 49 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 50 to me. Or what he might 51 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? 52 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 53 never hearing him put his 54 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 55 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 56 , 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 57 of was the stubble（短须）on his chin as his face pressed 58 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 59 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 60 .
