完形填空My son Daniel began surfing at the age of 13. Daniel's love for the ride was tested one 1 afternoon.
"Your son's been in an accident, " the lifeguard(救生员) reported to my 2 Mike over the phone hurriedly. "3 he came up to the top of the water, the point of the board was headed towards his eye. "
Mike rushed our son to the hospital. Daniel 4 26 stitches(缝线) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose.
I was 5 home from a meeting while Daniel's eye was being stitched. Mike drove 6 to the airport after they left the doctor's office. He greeted 7 at the gate while Daniel was waiting in the car.
"Daniel?" I questioned. I remember thinking the waves(波浪) must have been terrible that day.
I ran to the car. I sobbed(抽噎) in his arms, telling him how 8 I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called.
"It's okay, Mum, " he said. "I'll be fine. The doctor said I can go back in the water 9 eight days. "
Was he 10 ? I wanted to tell him that he wasn't allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but 11 I controlled myself.
He kept asking me to let him go back on the 12 for the next seven days. One day after I 13 " No" to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game.
"Mum, you taught us never to 14 what we love. "
I gave in. Back then, Daniel was just a boy with deep 15 for surfing. Now he is among the top 25 surfers in the world.
