二、完形填空(10 分)
Five years ago, my father and I had a serious disagreement. We didn’t 1 it. We avoided seeing each other and we 2 spoke to each other.
So last Tuesday, when I got home, I told 3 I was going to tell my father I loved him. It was strange, but just making that 4 seemed to take a load (负荷) off my mind.
I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep during the night. The next morning, I called my dad to ask 5 I could come over after work. He felt surprised, but 6 quickly.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, I was at my parents’ house ringing the doorbell, expecting that Dad would answer the door. I was afraid that if Mom answered, I would 7 and tell her instead. Luckily, Dad did answer the door.
I didn’t 8 any time — I took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I just come over to tell you that I love you.”
It seemed like magic. My father’s face softened, the wrinkles (皱纹) seemed to disappear (消失) and he began to cry. He hugged me and said excitedly, “I love you too, my dear son, but I’ve 9 been able to say it.” Seeing this unforgettable sight, Mom walked by with tears in her eyes.
Don’t wait to do the things 10 it’s too late. What if I had waited to tell my dad?
