My father was a highly educate, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your   31  in the process. I thought there was nothing be wasn’t   32  to do.
A few days before my younger brother’s 7 ^th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new   33   as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of   34   the instructions, Dan was still unable to   35  the new bike together. Later he   36   the paper of instructions,   37  up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra   38  to have it correctly assembled there.   39  an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.
“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?”

I also gained a new   47   for Lovett. To me he had   48  been the old yard man who didn’t   49   much, but after that day, he seemed to smile broader, even walk taller, It’s amazing what a real nod of   50   can do to lift people up.
