完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel．In a few hours he would be flying to France to   26   a different life．It was a transitional（过渡的） time in Daniel’s life．I wanted to   27   him some words of significance．But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the   28   time I had let such moments pass．

    When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten．He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked     29     the steps of the bus and disappeared inside．The bus drove away and I said nothing．A decade later, a similar   30   played itself out．I drove him to college．As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him  31    and confidence as he started this new stage of life．Again, words   32   me．

    Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those    33   opportunities．How many times have I let such moments   34   ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have   35   to me．Or what he might want to face in the years   36  ．Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything．

    What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?   37   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter．My father and I loved each other．Yet, I always   38   never hearing him put his    39   into words．Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten．Why is it so   40   to tell a son something from the heart?

    My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly．“Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you．” That's all I could say．He hugged me．For a moment, the world   41   , and there were just Daniel and me．He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying．All I was   42   of was the stubble（短须） on his chin as his face pressed    43    mine．What I had said to Daniel was   44   ．It was nothing．And yet, it was    45     ．

I went on line to check if my pay was in my bank account（账户）. To my amazement I discovered that not only had I been paid, but a company I’d never worked for had also paid me! I know I would have been beside myself (情绪失控) if my own salary was not in my account, so I tried to get the money back to the right person. Easier said than done.

The bank couldn’t help as it “wasn’t a bank problem.” The human-resource department at the company that paid me was unable to help as I didn’t have enough details. I rang the bank again. Thankfully I had a sympathetic call operator who gave me a name, so I again rang the company “Daniel” worked for.

I expected the bank would contact me to arrange to take the money from my account and repay Daniel. I heard nothing for a month and the money remained in my account when Daniel called, explaining he’d tried to get back his money but had been unsuccessful as neither the bank nor his company felt it was their error. He had rung to ask if I could speak to the bank, but after chatting for a few minutes we realized we could probably fix this problem ourselves.

We decided I would take the money from my account and he would pick it up from me. Due to my busy job I was unable to meet Daniel personally but he left me a lovely bottle of wine in exchange for what was rightfully his. I never had any intention of keeping Daniel’s pay but red tape（繁琐手续）made it difficult to do the right thing. It all came down to two people being able to do what a huge bank and a large company couldn’t do — admit a mistake has occurred and fix it.

1.What was the attitude of the author towards the extra money in his bank account?

A．He didn’t know what to do with it.	B．He felt lucky to get it.
C．He thought of keeping it for himself.	D．He wanted to return it to the right person.

2. How was the problem solved in the end?

A．The author and Daniel solved the problem themselves.

B．It cost Daniel a lovely bottle of wine to get back his money.

C．The author gave the money back to the company.

D．The call operator offered to solve their problem.

3.From the passage we can infer that _________.

A．the bank could solve the problem soon and easily with the red tape

B．some large organizations usually have troublesome official rules

C．Daniel didn’t know the error until he contacted the author

D．it was easy for a company to have a mistake which had occurred fixed
