解析：

(1)	他(父亲)残疾且“矮小”。据下文父亲扶我肩而行，short是最佳答案。
(2)	他扶我的肩膀而行，明显是为了使他的行走平衡。上文keep my balance亦有提示。
(3)	路人侧目，我极不舒服，不需要这种“注意”。前文有stare暗示。不能选C项situation。
(4)	即使他注意到或被烦扰，亦不表露(show)出来。
(5)	根据上下语境可知父子二人高矮同行，我心里又极不愿意，要想二人步伐一致，是有点难。
(6)	根据上下语境可知父子二人同行，我心里又极不愿意，因而没有话说(say)。
(7)	但每次出发时，父亲总是说，你定速度，我努力跟上。pace文章最后一句有提示。
(8)	我们的每日行程是来往地铁之间，这是他上班的方式(how)。D项where干扰大。但文中未提及subway即他工作的地方。
(9)	即使别人不去上班，父亲依然要去。make it固定短语，“做成功”之意。
(10)	且以此为傲(pride)。
(11)	父亲从不认为自己是需要同情的人，他亦不妒忌别人的幸运或成功。
(12)	父亲不以貌判人，在别人身上父亲找的是“善良之心”。
(13)	一旦父亲找到了，父亲认为此人就够了。
(14)	我稍居年事之后，以父亲的人生哲学为处世标准(standard)。
(15)	可我还是搞不清真正的善良是什么。
(16)	但我明白我本人没有善良之心。
(17)	我不知他在天之灵是否会感到(sense)当时我们同行时我的极不情愿。
(18)	见上句解析。
(19)	我稍居年事之后，为年少不更事而后悔、害羞。
(20)	解析：这里恢复平衡(regain my balance)不是指身体上的平衡恢复，而是指年少时自己对父亲的伤害，何时才能使自己内疚的心理恢复平衡。 　　文章大意：这是一篇刻画人物细节活动的文章。我年少时以自己的父亲残疾为耻。尤其当与他同行时，父亲要扶我的肩膀而行，让路人侧目，这让我尤为尴尬、害羞。但父亲不以之为贱，坦然上班。我稍居年事之后，才感到父亲善良的伟大。我不仅为年少不更事而后悔，而且以父亲的人生哲学为处世标准。
