完形(每小题1分, 共10分)My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I 1 older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep 2 the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the 3 score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The 4 and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that. My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father
told me 5 that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour 6 from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and 7 saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I 8 up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the 9 way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my 10 in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started, I’ll always remember that!

To my joy, I was told that I was not in trouble and that just someone needed to talk with me. I was called because I was a member of the Breakfast Club (B.C.).
The Breakfast Club is not a club where one eats breakfast. It is an organization of students started thirteen years ago because of a young student’s suicide(自杀).
The B.C. gives us a chance to talk to our peers(同龄人) about anything on their minds and in their hearts. Our motto(格言): We care but we don’t cure. The club members include Asians, blacks, whites, athletes, musicians, and students with all levels of achievement. The criteria(标准) for belonging to the group is to be a good listener, to be able to come up with ideas, and not give advice! We didn’t know each other in the beginning, but we became good friends after all the training and experiences we went through.
The call led me to a one-on-one meeting with the girl who had asked me down to the office. It seems that she had found her roommate cutting her wrist(手腕). Luckily, it was stopped on time. So she wanted me to help her roommate. 1. After Jenny answered the phone, she _______.
