I dont remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did _22_the water. Any kind of _23_ride seemed to give him pl
25、easure. _24_he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along. But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being _25_the water, moving through it, _26_it all around me.

26、wimming pool close to my fathers office and _29_those summer days with my father, who _30_ come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the _31_person not in swimsuit. After swimming, I would go _32_ his office and sit on the wooden chair in front
27、 of his big desk, where he let me _33_anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk _34_ he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldnt be playing with his _35_. But my father always _36_and said easily, “Oh, no, its
28、 _37_.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get _38_ an ice cream. A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is _39_.” And I think it is not only what we “l(fā)ook at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but _40_, in that childhood, looks at us.21A. desire B. j

Later that evening, I _37_ told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our _38_ much better

We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got _42 _ grades in the school, especially _43_ biology and chemistry, which was a great comfo
