Passage 7 ?(甘肅省靜寧一中高三第二次模擬考試) ?完形填空

It’s hard being an astronaut’s son. I ? 21 ?, everybody expects you to be special or ? 22 ?, and I’m just an average student, and I’m average, too, when it ? 23 ??basketball, football, soccer, and baseball. I often wonder ? 24 ??my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so ??25 ??and so good at everything. So I used to dream about doing something spectacular(不平常的) to ? 26 ??my father and make him ? ?27 ? me. ? ? In one class, my teacher ??28 ?? a Father’s Day essay contest for us and the winners’ essays would be read in front of all the parents and students. After school I walked home, ? 29 ? my father, who I would write about in my essay. He sat with me in the ? 30 ? when I was a little kid and had a nightmare. He ? 31 ? me with a new puppy at my eighth birthday party. He sat and tried to ? 32 ? death to me when Grandpa Bob died. To me, he wasn’t a world-famous astronaut, just my dad. ?I wrote about all these ??33 ??in my essay.

One of our neighbors said, “I ? 34 ??you’ll win the contest, David. You're the only one in town who could write about being the son of an astronaut.” I ??35 ??.

I hadn’t shown anyone the essay, but now I almost hoped I wouldn’t win. I didn’t want to win just ??36 ??my father was an astronaut.

I won the second prize. When I finished reading my essay, the ? 37 ? applauded. I saw my father blowing his nose. I went back to my seat. Dad nodded to me, ??38 ??his throat, and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the ? 39 ??moment of my life,” he said. It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but just then, it was ? 40 ??just to be my father’s son.
