a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his
family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me if I didn"t
got straight A"s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever
I went out with him on weekends, I used to try hard to think out things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father"s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We
walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son"s funny facial
expressions. Gone was my father"s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my
father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.
Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so
many years, I"m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I"m delighted with my new friend.
My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
B. He was too proud of himself.
C. He didn"t love his children.

Get inside him and if he is better with you than with me, I will let you pass any time and anywhere we meet." said Fortune. Reason 3 . When the boy named Vanek felt reason in his head, he began to 4 : Why should I plough field all my life? I could be 5 somewhere else too. He went away and began to 6 from a royal gardener. He learnt very quickly and the 7 was nicer. The king was very 8 and walked in the garden very often with the queen and their only daughter.
