超过我意识到,爸爸帮助我保持平衡。
当我长大后,我感到尴尬,是在我父那里看见的。
他是严重的残疾和很短的,当我们走在一起,他把手放在我的手臂来平衡,人们会瞪着。
我内心挣扎在不必要的注意。
如果他曾经注意到了这些,不管他内心多么痛苦,也从不表现出来。
很难协调我们的步骤——他那蹩脚的,我的耐心,正因为如此,我们没说就像我们走。
但正如我们开始的时候,他总是说,“你定步调。
我将试着适应你。
”我们常常往返于从他所乘的地铁上工作。
他有病也要上班,哪怕天气恶劣。
他几乎从未误过一天工,并将使到办公室,即使别人不可能。
一件值得骄傲的事情。
当雪或冰躺在地上,他已经不可能走,即使有帮助。
在这种时候我或者是我的姐妹们就把他拉过纽约市布鲁克林大街在孩子的马车和钢铁跑步者到地铁入口处。
一到那儿,他便抓了hand-rail一直走到底下的台阶,因为那里通道的空气暖和些保持无冰。
到了曼哈顿,地铁站就在他办公楼的地下一层,他无须再走出楼来,直到我们在布鲁克林遇见他在回家的路上。
如今每当我想起这些,我惊讶要用多少勇气一个成年男子要经受信这种耻辱和压力。
在他如何做学生痛苦或投诉。
他从不说自己可怜的对象,也从不嫉妒别人的幸运和能力。
他所期望的是人家"善良的心",当他得到,老板够好的了。
现在,我长大了,我相信这是一个适当的标准来判断人,尽管我还不确切地知道"善良的心"是。
但我知道那时我没有拥有一个自己。
无法从事许多活动,我的父亲仍试图以某种方式加入。
当一个地方棒球队发现缺少一个领队时,他便做了领队。
他是个棒球迷,有丰富的棒球知识,而且过去常带我去埃比茨棒球场观看布鲁克林的鬼精灵队的比赛。
他喜欢参加舞会和晚会,他能有一个好的坐着看。
有一次发生了一场争斗的海边晚会上,每个人都动了拳头,推推搡搡。
他不甘于坐在那里当观众,但又无法在松软的沙滩上自己站起来。
于是,失望之下,他吼了起来:"我要与谁会坐下来与我!我要与谁会坐下来与我!”没有人。

Warm-up activities1. Story TellingListen to the short story and then share with your partner the unforgettable things your father has done for you. Make your story logical and smooth.(a short story)Thirty years ago when I was a small child, my father arranged for me to spend two summer vacations at a very large farm in South Dakota. He thought it would be good for me, and he was right. It taught me a great deal about the importance of independence. The people who lived there were practically self-sufficient. They raised sheep for wool and built their cabins from logs. The place was so isolated that the farm owner’s daughter, who must have been in her early twe nties, said that she had never been away from home or seen a train.2.

Text Structure AnalysisWriting Techniques这篇文章突出的特点是:(一)文章的主题深刻,发人深思。
标题:A Good Heart to Lean On该如何理解?我们知道身体上有残疾的人,尤其是本文中父亲这样瘸的残疾人通常需要依靠别人(lean on),而可以用来依靠的通常是肩膀(arm),而不是心(heart).因此我们要问为何作者要给文章命名A Good Heart to Lean On?文章的标题本身就法人深思。
标题下面的一句化概括了全文的中心思想。
More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance. 读了文章,我们知道父亲身体残疾,需要儿子的扶持,依靠儿子保持身体的平衡。
而儿子最后意识到父亲令他保持平衡,当然这种平衡是心灵上的。
因为父亲有一颗善良的心。
(二)整篇文章首尾呼应。
文章第一、二段和文章最后两段构成了典型的呼应。
文中第一段提到his hand on my arm for balance, 在结尾处第十三段中呼应的句子是I put my hand on his arm to regain my banlance.文中第二段中走路一瘸一拐的父亲对不耐烦的儿子说,You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.而在文中结尾处第十三段也出现了呼应的句子,儿子意识到了父亲的伟大,想象自己对父亲说, You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.可见父亲的人生态度和典范对儿子产生了深刻的影响。
