Question

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was monitor and captain of the football team.

Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building. One morning my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school. “I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”

When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn’t start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm.

I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn’t just a famous astronaut. He was my dad．

My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me, and I shrugged.

The third prize was announced and it was not me. 1 was relieved and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.

I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My father’s son”. When I finished, the people stood up and excited. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother’s face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder, “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.”

It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father’s son.

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：作为一个宇航员的儿子是不容易的。大家都期望你是特殊的或完美的。我常常想知道我的父亲怎么曾经有一个我这样的儿子。我的意思是他很特殊，他擅长他所做的一切。甚至在中学他就是班长和足球队的队长。说实话，我经常梦到一些英雄或做一些特别的像从大火中救了一个小孩这样的事。一天早上，我的老师说，在父亲节有一个全校的作文。“我希望我们班有一个赢家。”就在这次比赛中我获得了二等奖。这是我一生中最骄傲的时刻。也许我永远不会成为一个伟大的英雄或赢得诺贝尔奖，但我做我父亲的儿子就足够了。
