I had not seen my parents for a long time. Last Saturday I drove a long way to visit them, 41 neither of them was at home. So I waited patiently at their home 42 their return. Not seeing them made me really 43 . As I was walking around their bedroom, I 44 little reminders of them. Some Christmas gifts were still 45 in boxes. There were 46 on the wall, which I guess must have a 47 meaning to them. What took my breath away was seeing my dad’s emblems(徽章)from his military service of our country 48 he was young. My father never 49 to us about the Korean Wars. As I looked at those emblems hanging 50 with all the photos that he treasures, I 51 that this was an important part of his life, but I never spent the 52 in talking with him about them. The photos of my mom with her close 53 made me realize her life before she was my mom. I had been so 54 running my business to raise my own family that I 55 the chance to know about their past and experience. We sometimes don’t realize something is 56 for us until we have lost it, so it’s not too late for us to talk to our parents about their past. I am writing my story to 57 everyone who is fortunate to still have their parents 58 to invest some time to learn about them. I am grateful to have 59 of my parents. So I still have time to talk with them. I hope that readers will 60 from my story and find the time to talk about those things in their life that mean so much to their parents. 41.A.and B.but C.or D.so 42.A.for B.to C.of D.in 43.A.frightened B.embarrassed C.upset D.excited 44.A.sought B.took C.needed D.saw 45.A.kept B.folded C.hidden D.covered 46.A.Santa Claus B.family trees C.family photos D.old clothes 47.A.simple B.real C.past D.special 48.A.if B.when C.though D.until 49.A.talked B.explained C.showed D.referred 50.A.finally B.clearly C.proudly D.openly 51.A.promised B.declared C.admitted D.realized 52.A.courage B.time C.chance D.energy 53.A.friends B.teachers C.students D.children 54.A.strict B.eager C.busy D.blind 55.A.rejected B.avoided C.delayed D.missed 56.A.hopeful B.important C.careful D.original 57.A.encourage B.demand C. require D.warn 58.A.away B.awake C.around D.alone 59.A.one B.neither C.either D.both 60.A.make B.benefit C.change D.recover
