So it was with really great__5__that I stood in church one recent Sunday, video camera in hand, and __6__my 68yearold father sweating in his shirt __7__rising to play the piano in his very first recital.
My father had longed to play music since childhood, but his family was poor and couldn't __8__ lessons. He could have gone on regretting it, __9__too many of us do. But though he was rooted in his past, he wasn't __10__there. When he retired three years ago, he __11__ his church music director to take him as a student.
For a moment after my father sat down at the keyboard, he __12__stared down at his fingers. Has he forgotten the __13__? I worried, remembering those split seconds__14__ago when my mind would go blank and my fingers would __15__. But then came the beautiful melody(旋律),from the __16__fingers that once baited(装饵于) my fishing lines. And I__17__he had been doing what music teachers always stress:__18__the music and pretend the others aren't there.

语篇解读:我从小学二年级的时候就对每年一次钢琴独奏会感到害怕,但是在父亲所谓的“树立自信心及朝着目标而努力”的督促之下,我一次也没有漏过。多年后,当68岁的父亲坐在钢琴前,成功的完成了他的第一次钢琴独奏会的时候,他用行动向我诠释了我勇气和意志。
