A game of catch is simply two people throwing a ball back and forth（来回地）. It seems a little 131 and many people may not be interested in it. The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch. They might have baseball gloves, or they might use their hands.
In fact, playing catch is part of 132 practice—to make you get used to using a ball and glove. But any American kid will teach you it’s much more than that. Playing catch is a time for kids to 133 with your father. It’s a time when there’s 134 to worry about except catching a ball. It’s a time when words move asseamlessly（准确不误地） as the ball
itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to 135 timetogether.
Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. In the suburbs（郊区）, most people have backyards — not 136 enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those who have no 137 can play in the street or in the park.
When adults are asked to talk about the good 138 of their dads, many of them will say something about playing catch. Why Probably because dads are usually very 139 . A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has her dad's 140 . There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.

A game of catch is simply two people throwing a ball back and forth（来回地）. It seems a little 131 and many people may not be interested in it. The two people are close enough to talk, but too far to touch. They might have baseball gloves, or they might use their hands.
In fact, playing catch is part of 132 practice—to make you get used to using a ball and glove. But any American kid will teach you it’s much more than that. Playing catch is a time for kids to 133 with your father. It’s a time when there’s 134 to worry about except catching a ball. It’s a time when words move asseamlessly（准确不误地） as the ball itself, back and forth, easy and relaxing. It’s an excuse to 135 timetogether.
Because baseball is an American sport, and a big part of being American, playing catch is kind of an all-American dad activity. In the suburbs（郊区）, most people have backyards — not 136 enough to play baseball in, but just big enough for a game of catch. Those who have no 137 can play in the street or in the park.
When adults are asked to talk about the good 138 of their dads, many of them will say something about playing catch. Why Probably because dads are usually very 139 . A catch game is a time that is only for one thing. This is a time when a kid has her dad's 140 . There is no work, no phone and no other people around to take your dad away from you. For the time that it takes to play a game of catch, your dad is all yours.

Eric died 16 years ago, but I am 176 giving up the shop. I love it all—talking to the customers and getting 177 they want. Some customers come in two or three
times a day. They often tell me their 178 and I offer advice if I can.
It was the shop’s 50th anniversary (周年) on May 13 this year. I wanted to do something 179 , so I held a party with my customers. I also wrote a book about my memories in the shop.

Thirty years ago, a dog called Cookie came to my home. Though it was hard for me to support another family 191 , I never gave it a second thought.
I was a travel writer. I often traveled over the country to 192 material for writing. When I came back home and wrote my stories, Cookie always sat next to my desk and we could have conversations about where I’d been and what I’d seen. We 193 each other as only animals and those who love them can. I often read what I’d written to her. If she turned away to start cleaning a paw, I knew that she didn’t like it and I had to 194 my story. Of course, she didn’t understand what I was really writing. But this kind of communication with her was my 195 of pushing a story to a higher level.
She encouraged me 196 in making up stories and became my companion in my travels. Some readers may think it 197 to have such a relationship, but dog owners like me would know it’s true and understand us.
My heart was broken when my friend Cookie 198 me forever. She died at her age of 16. Like many old friends, she and I shared a lot over the years. I miss her so much and I am also 199 to her for being at my side for all those years, listening and simply loving.
It doesn’t matter if she never understood a word I said or that she never left me. She was my travel 200 and always will be.
