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

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

49
of water got into the boat. I rushed to the tiller

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 comforted 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.
