My father brought home a sailboat when I was ten, and almost each Sunday in summers we would go sailing. Dad was quite skilled in sailing, but not good at    36    . As for me, I    37    both before twelve because of living close to Lake Ontario.
The last time Dad and I set sail together is really    38    . It was a perfect weekend after I graduated from university. I came home and    39    Dad to go sailing. Out we set soon on the    40     lake. Dad hadn’t sailed for years, but everything     41    
well with the tiller (舵柄) in his hands.
When we were in the middle of the lake, a    42    wind came all of a sudden. The boat was hit        43    . Dad was always at his best in any    44    , but at this moment he     45    .
“John!     46    !” he shouted in a trembling voice, with the tiller still in his hands.
In my memory he could fix any    47    . He was the one I always    48    for strength and security. Before I could respond, a    49    of water got into the boat. I rushed to the tiller    50    it was too late. Another huge wall of water    51    the boat in a minute. We were thrown into the water, and Dad was struggling aimlessly. At that moment, I felt fiercely    52    of him.
I swam to Dad    53    and assisted him in climbing onto the hull (船壳) of the boat. Upon sitting on the hull, Dad was a little awkward about his flash of    54    . “It’s all right, Dad. We are safe now,” I forted him.
That was the first time Dad had counted on me in a moment of emergency. More importantly, I found it was my turn to start    55    for my father.
