My memories of my father are slim because he was so sick in the last years of his life. But there are _____196_____ that I am often reminded of and which may have had some bearing on my love of _____197_____.
When I was small I was somewhat _____198_____ of lightning and thunder. My father explained it. The explanation was in _____199_____ that a child could understand but was basically correct. I gained a better _____200_____ later, but I didn't have to unlearn anything.

He explained why if it was cloudy in the winter the night was warmer than if it was _____207_____. It was one of those nights when the sky was full of stars: no moon, no town lights. But there were more stars than you could _____208_____ and they had color too. He said that if there were no clouds, we had no blankets and were _____209_____ to the universe. Our warmth was going to _____210_____ the whole universe. When there were clouds, they were like blankets and we were not exposed to the universe. I _____211_____ feel on the edge of space on a very clear night.

What I did _____213_____, in general, was that there were explanations and that the more I understood them, the more comfortable the world was to live in.

The ticket lady _____228_____ the price. The man didn't have enough money.
Seeing this, my dad put his hand into his pocket, _____229_____ a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any case of the world!) Then he _____230_____ down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket."
The man knew what was going on. He wasn't begging for a handout (施舍) _____231_____ certainly _____232_____ the timely help in such an _____233_____ situation.

Then came the day when I learned my little brother Martin's testing for autism (自闭症) came out positive (阳性). I had never thought about him like that. I broke _____257_____, crying.
Everything had just changed. He was no longer a(n) _____258_____ little boy.
Over time, I was able to accept his _____259_____ a little more. We had to _____260_____ because Martin needed treatment. So Martin and I both started at a new school.

My family moved again. In the new school I got a _____265_____ to speak up pretty soon. That day, in a band class, my teacher _____266_____ our playing to make some comments, "...

I wasn't sure what I was going to say but I wanted to be heard.
The whole class _____268_____ down. My mouth opened and this came out: "I don't think we should make fun of the short bus, because there are people on that bus who have a lot in common with us and have the same feelings as we do." I could feel my _____269_____ getting louder. "So I would _____270_____ it if you didn't make fun of them."
The room was very quiet and everyone stared at me. My teacher _____271_____ for his words and then started the song again. At the end of the class, everyone was giving me strange looks. But I didn't _____272_____, because I knew three things: I had spoken the _____273_____, I had taught everyone in the classroom was being a follower, I had _____274_____ to take a different path since I wanted to become a _____275_____ and a role model.

I remember returning to Seattle after being _____288_____ in the US Army for about two years. I had just been promoted to Captain at that time.

I am an officer in the Army! But it didn't _____292_____. As far as Dad was concerned, I was just some _____293_____ of the team. I reached for the mop (拖把).
