My father used to like drinking. Every time when he got 36 , he would shout loudly and beat my 37． , who left my father and me when I was seven.
I went to a boarding (寄宿的) school when I was thirteen, and I finally 38 see my father drunk every day. However, I didn’t talk to anybody and 39 all my spare time alone in school because of the pain in my heart. When other boys 40 on the playground, I would sit there alone. This lasted for several weeks until a new 41 who was about forty came to our class. She, of course, 42 I was different. She asked me to answer her question in her first class. I 43 and answered her question in a very 44 voice, with my head down. That noon, after lunch, she found me and had a talk with me. She asked me 45 I need any 46 . Nobody had ever 47． me like that. I finally told her 48 about my family.
“Things won’t get 49 ,” she said.
From that day on, every time when she saw me, she would give me a smile. She often asked me to answer her questions in class, and she helped me with my studies after class. 50 time went by, I didn’t feel so 51 as before.
The day I left that school, I asked her 52 she did all that for me.
“My mother 53 when I was ten. I know how hard it is 54 a mother,” she said.
