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.

　　“I'm __19__of him for starting something new at his age，” I said to my son Jeff.

　　“Yeah, and doing it so__20__，” Jeff added.

　　With his first recital, my father taught me more about courage and determination than all the words he used those 30­plus years ago.

　　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。
