When I was growing up, my father always stopped what he was doing and listened while I'd breathlessly fill him in on my day. __36__ the time I graduated from college, I got a job teaching special education at a school about 170 miles from home. “__37__,” Dad warned me during my visit home. He was __38__ about my living alone.
One evening, I stayed after __39__ to rearrange my classroom. Finished, I realized the gate was __40__! Everyone else had gone home. After checking all the __41__, I found just enough room to squeeze (挤) under the gate. I lay on my back and __42__ edged through. Suddenly, I saw about several boys following me. Quickening my __43__, I reached into my shoulder bag to get my key ring. But the key ring wasn't there! “Hey! Let's __44__ the lady!” one boy shouted.
Suddenly, my fingers wrapped around a __45__ key in my purse. I did not even __46__ if it was for my car. I reached my car and the key __47__! I opened the door, slid in and locked it -- just as the teenagers surrounded the car. __48__, I started the engine and drove away. Some teachers went back to the school with me __49__. With flashlights, we found the key ring on the ground by the gate, __50__ it had fallen as I slid through.
When I returned to my apartment, the phone was ringing. It was __51__. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. I put a (an) __52__ car key into your purse” he said. “in __53__ you ever need it.” Today, I keep that key in my drawer and __54__ it. Whenever I hold it in my hand, I am __55__ of all the wonderful things Dad has done for me over the years.
