完形填空。 I watched as my little brother was caught in the act. He was sitting in the comer of the living room, a 1 in one hand and my father's hymnbook (赞美诗集) in the other. As my father walked into the room, my brother cowered slightly (轻微地畏缩). He sensed that he had done something 2 . I could see that he had 3 my father's new hymnal and scribbled (乱涂) in it. Now he was waiting for his punishment. For my father, books were knowledge. They were important to him. And yet he loved his children. What he did next was 4 .

Dad taught us about 9 really matters in life: people,not objects; tolerance (宽容), not judgment; love, not anger. Now I, too, am a father. But unlike my father,l do not wait for my daughters 10 to take books from my bookshelf and scribble in them. From time to time I take one down, and give it to one of my 11 to scribble in. And as I look at their artwork, I think about my father and the 12 he taught me. (     )1. A. book (     )2. A. wrong (     )3. A. dropped (     )4. A. unnecessary (     )5. A. My (     )6.
