A few days ago, my sister Liz and I talked about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something for Father's Day. We talked about the times when we were 36____ up and how Mom and Dad used to play the ‘good cop, bad cop’ thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were 37 ____. He raised us more by 38____ than anything else. When he spoke, though we listened, he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) 39____meaning that I never got, but Liz always 40____ to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a skateboard and I 41____ I was too old to ask money from my parents, so I worked at a burger joint (美式汉堡店). One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the 42____ . I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to start somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy __43____in life, ‘Who knows, you might end up having to run a 44____ or even own one when you grow up,’ said Dad. He 45____ me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didn’t agree with it.
A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really 46____ days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the 47____ were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would 48____ out. I couldn’t stand the 49____ any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders 50____ . The owner saw what I did and called me over around 51____ time. He said that he was very 52____ . He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was 53____ I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I’ve never forgotten what my dad said that day. And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills, no matter how insignificant or 54____ it seems, I have a new perspective(看法) that it might really help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it.
