On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck  20   he delivered the bread to the stores. The   21   and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would   22   all my games. One night before an important game my father told me   23   that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour   24   from his route（路线）.
