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(过渡的) 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(短须) 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     ．

       阅读下面短文，然后从36～55各题所给的A、 B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m   36  .” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things off !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   37  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been   38   for years—often from   39   childhood. These stories may have no basis in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will  40   have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations   41   my development? I was never   42   to work on cars or be around    43  . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later,   44  , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   45    down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   46   side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   47   and told him about my   48   performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  49   is it that you can solve    50   mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t   51   from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to   52  . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been   53   my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   54   , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   55   we choose.

The   40   of “a body clock” should not be too   41   since the lives of most living things are controlled   42   the 24 hour night-and-day cycle.

What causes your computer a slow one? The problem lies with changes that occur to the PC's software. The 2 most   51   causes of slowdown (along with easy solutions) are:

Registry errors  -  the most common problem

  Every    52    you load a program, game or file, your PC's software registry is updated with new instructions needed to operate that item.   53   , when the item is removed, these instructions usually remain on your PC.  Every time you run your computer it   54   to carry out these instructions but, because the related program can't be found, it causes a registry error.  Your PC is doing a lot   55   work than it should be and the result is a significantly   56   computer.

  One of the best ways to manage this is with a    57    little tool. This program scans, identifies and    58  registry errors - resulting in a computer that's a lot more like it was when you   59  bought it. 

Spyware and viruses

  Spyware and viruses are software programs that are loaded on your computer   60   your knowledge or permission.  They have various purposes,   61   :

  Changing the default search engine in your browser

  Tracking your web surfing    62 

  Stealing your personal    63  

  Most spyware and viruses get onto our computers through files that we   64   from the internet or as attachments to emails. They tend to   65   up a lot of computing power and as a   66   will significantly slow down the computer.

  The simple rule of thumb to follow is to never download any   67   software programs from companies you do not know and trust, especially screensavers, emoticons and the   68   . In addition, make sure you have a good anti-virus / spyware removal software running at   69   times.
