Dad is a liar, definitely.

He never tells the truth about anything , or anything that he thinks is bad to me,   36   I emphasize that I don’t  37   hearing these things. He is the kindest man I have ever met, who never ＿38＿ others, as well as the ＿39＿ man, for he’s always hard on himself. Every time I ＿40＿ home from college and asked Dad how his ＿41＿ was getting on, he would always reply, “Oh, couldn’t be ＿42＿!” When I asked my mum the same question on the phone, ＿43＿, she honestly told me every ＿44＿ with Dad’s business. I didn’t blame Dad for his ＿45＿. I felt a deep sympathy for him.

Dad is a miser（吝啬鬼）, undoubtedly.

I hardly see Dad wear ＿46＿ clothes. In fact, his closet is half empty. Even in this half , two-thirds is occupied by Mum’s clothes and the other ＿47＿ belongs to him. I urged him to buy some new clothes, ＿48＿ he simply shook his head, “The old clothes are still good enough.” Were they? I saw ＿49＿ in them!

It ＿50＿ my heart up when I saw Dad cough terribly   51   his hand covering his mouth. When the pains became unbearable, he ＿52＿ took some pills.

So   53   surprised when the day came that Dad got sick. He was lying in bed, and all the family gathered around him. I knelt by his beside, tears filling my eyes.

Dear Dad, you’ve been ＿54＿ yourself too hard, which you should not have. I know I might as well ＿55＿ a river to flow backward as hope to talk you out of working so hard. But I still want to say, “Dad, take better care of yourself!”
