Question

 阅读短文，然后根据要求完成任务。

　 When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was very short, what’s more, something was wrong with his foot. When we walked together, people would laugh at us. So he always said, “You go by yourself. I will try to catch up with you.”

It’s far from my home to his factory, and he went there on foot. No matter how bad the weather was, he almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not . 73 . When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. However, he never talked about himself. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Once, a fight broke out at a beach party, nobody would stop it. Though my father couldn’t stand up, he began to shout, “I’ll fight anyone who will sit down with me!” Nobody did, and the fight was over. I was really proud of him.

When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. Once, I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.

   74 . He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I think of him when I complain about something terrible, when I don’t have a “good heart”. Only then could I remember his words, “You go by yourself. I will try to catch up with you.”
