After my dad's service in World War II, he was36 again tofight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn't drink 37 to numb (麻痹) his terrible2memories. He struggled to 38 for his growing family.On our occasional trips to town, I 39 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could40 myself in unknown places —where children weren't hungry and were in 41 of little.When I wasn't daydreaming, my 42 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under thecovers 43 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 44 we didn't haveelectricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 45 more than lies, but the stories I told improved46 every book I read.Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money —to put more food on thefamily table. We 47 newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people's houses.Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot ofbeans. 48my real hunger wasn't for food —it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world49 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad 50 when he told us we would never amount toanything.Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 51 than our parents expected52 us. Wedevoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 53 would be oursteppingstone into a brighter future.Now I'm 54 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus businessowners. And me, I'm the keeper of the family stores. I'll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes ifwe had not known 55 as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing.1.
