完形填空 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项中，选出How did you do it, Dad? How have you managed not to take a drink for almost 20 years? It took me almost 20 years to have the
36
to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first
37
drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a
38
that, in the past, would have started him
39
again. For a few years we were
40
to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.
"I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day," was Dad's
41
to my 18-year-old unasked question. "The words were a constant (经常的) to me that things were 43
so hard that I could not deal with them," Dad said. Then he
44
the poem with me. The poem's
45 , yet profound (深刻的) words immediately became
of my daily routine as well.
About a month after this
47
with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one
48
for each day of the year.
It has been my
49
that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own
50 .
I
51
opened the book to November 10 to see
52
words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I was
53
when I looked at the page, and then tears of disbelief and appreciation
54
down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had
55
my father for all these years! It is called the Serenity (平静) Prayer: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
