Question

It's hard being an astronaut's son. I mean, everybody expects you to be special or ________. But I’m just a common student, and I' m common in all kinds of ball games, too.

I often wonder ________ my father ever had a son like me. He' s so special and so good at ________. So I used to dream about doing something special to make him ________ me.

In one class, my teacher ________ a Father' s Day essay contest to us. He also told us the winners' essays would ________ in front of all the parents and students. After school I walked home, ________ my father, who I would write about in my essay.

I still remember he stayed by my side in the ________ when I was a little kid and had an awful dream. He surprised me ________ a new puppy dog at my eighth birthday party. He sat and tried to explain the meaning of life to me when Grandpa Bob died. To me, he wasn't a world-famous astronaut, just my dad.

I wrote about all these ________ in my essay. One of our classmates said, "I believe you'll win the contest, David. You're the only one in our school who ________ write about being the son of an astronaut. "I shrugged(耸肩). I hadn' t shown anyone the essay, but now I ________ hoped I wouldn't win. I didn't want to win just because my father was an astronaut.

I won the second prize. ________ I finished reading my essay, the whole school applauded(鼓掌). I saw my father blowing his nose. I went back to my seat.
