Passage 6 ?(福建省龍巖一中2010屆高三第七次月考) ?完形填空

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 ?__36__ a different life．It was a transitional(過渡的) time in Daniel’s life．I wanted to __37__ him some words of significance．But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the ?__38__ 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 ?__39__ the steps of the bus and disappeared inside．The bus drove away and I said nothing．A decade later, a similar __40__ played itself out．I drove him to college．As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him ?__41__ and confidence as he started this new stage of life．Again, words __42__ me．

Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those ? ?43 ? opportunities．How many times have I let such moments ? 44 ? ? I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what they have ? __45__ to me．Or what he might ? 46 ? 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? ? 47 ? as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter．My father and I loved each other．Yet, I always ? 48 ? never hearing him put his? ?49 ? into words．Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten．Why is it so __50__ 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 ?__51__ , 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 ?__52__ of was the stubble(短須) on his chin as his face pressed ? ?53 ? ?mine．What I had said to Daniel was ? 54 ? ．It was nothing．And yet, it was ? ?55 ? ．
