Question

At the airport, I looked closely at the face of my son, Daniel, his backpack by his side. We were saying good-bye. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   a different life. It was a transitional（过渡期的）time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to leave him some words of  . But nothing came from my  and this was not the first time I had let such a moment    .

When Daniel was five, I took him to the school-bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He looked at me -- as he did now. “What is it going to be like, Dad? Will I be okay?” And then he walked up the    of the bus and disappeared inside. And the bus    . And I had said nothing.

A decade or so later, a similar          played itself out. I drove him to college. I tried to think of something to say to give him        and confidence as he started this new life. Again, words     me.

My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always     never hearing him put his     into words and never having the memory of that moment. Now, I could feel my palms（手掌）    and my throat tighten. Why is it so    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     . “Daniel," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." That’s all I could say. I wasn’t sure he understood what I     . Then he came toward me and threw his arms around me. For a moment, the world and all its people vanished（消失）, and there was just Daniel and me. He was saying something,    my eyes misted（视线模糊）over, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. All I was      of was the stubble（胡子茬）on his chin as his face pressed     mine. And then, the moment ended. What I had said to Daniel was clumsy. It was nothing. And yet, it was     .

【解析】

试题分析：文章主要讲述了父子之间的爱。“如果能选择，我还会选你做我儿子”，一句简单的话，却是那样的暖心。每当儿子要开始一种新的生活的时候，作者都想跟儿子说几句心里话给他加油打气。但是，每到这样的时候，作者都会一时语塞，爱在心头口难开。当作者好不容易说出了一句简单的话时，儿子把作者搂在了怀里。相比之下，儿子表达对父亲的爱的方式则更为直接一些。
