However，one morning my patience was（35）D when Mark talked once too often．I warned Mark，"If you say one more word，I am going to tape your mouth（36）C!"
It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck blurted out（脱口说出），"Mark is talking again．"I hadn't asked any of the students to help me（37）AMark，but since I had stated the（38）Cin front of the class，I had to act on it．
Taking out a roll of masking tape from the drawer of my desk，I walked to Mark's desk，（39）Btwo pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth．I then returned to the（40）Dof the room．

10．A Faithful Father
My husband kissed me goodbye，stroked the baby's cheek and then rushed out of the door，into his busy day．With the cold of the morning fading，I fed my baby and it fell fast asleep．Usually I would place it in bed and quickly have the house somewhat in （31）C．
This morning，however，I stayed seated，just （32）A，with the baby in my arms．The thoughts ran into （33）D of the mornings with my husband，a father rushing out of the door to meet the obligations of life．It was only a small jump to thoughts of my own （34）D．

"Hi，Dad．"I said，（41）C back tears．
"Hey，Bud．How are you？"（42）D was in his voice．
"Fine，I'm just calling to say…thank you．"I got it out before my throat （43）D too much for me to speak．
"What for？"
"For getting up and going to work every morning of my life．Now that I have my own
（44）A and I see my husband doing the same，I just wanted to thank you for being （45）B．"
There was （46）C for a moment as my dad composed himself，and with a small （47）A in his voice he said，"You're welcome，Bud．"
I don't remember much of the rest of the call，（48）B that moment of revelation （显露） about my father，I will never forget．There are those who are known for their heroic （49）B，and also those who are known for their fortunes and fame，but it is the （50）C everyday fathers who are the true heroes．I'm thankful that my father was one of them．
