I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘). Then he gave her some _________, “Don’t treat her any _________ from the other girls. Demand more.” And she did!
My mother had to work to _________ my family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the _________, “Mom, I can’t peel(削……皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n) _________for anything again!” Of course I could peel potatoes—with my good hand, while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a way, and Mom knew it. “If you try hard _________,” she said, “you can do anything.” Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars(攀爬架). When it was my turn, I _________ my head. Some kids laughed. I went home crying. After work the next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by_________ I practiced, and she praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget the next time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. When I _________ I can’t handle things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to _________ anything. And she taught me I could, too.

Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course, he never said "I love you"to me, . Maybe it's a Chinese cultural(文化) thing, or maybe that's the way my dad was. But whenever I felt , defeated(被打败) or lonely, dad was always there. Dad was a man of words, but I always liked to talk to him, and I could always feel a very special connection(联系) to him.
When I was in high school, dad retired(退休) and had a stand(摊位) on the street near my school. Dad was very good at making fried noodles, and a lot of people liked his noodles. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really talking to dad in front of his food stand, I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street!
One night, I couldn't it any more and shouted, "Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don't need a father who sells noodles on the street!" At that moment, dad was shocked. He tried to say but didn't. When he his head away, something happened that I had never seen and would never forget the rest of my life. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad . My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such a fool, and even today I still feel for that night.
Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home city. For the past ten years, whenever I've visited home, dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off at the railway station. Whenever mom was calling me, dad would sit her with a list of questions. He would ask mom to talk to me for him. That's the way dad is, and that's dad shows his love to me.
Dad is still quiet, but I still feel a connection. —"a silent father's love."
