My father met my mother in a poker(纸牌)game. He couldnt【C1】______his eyes off her. It was her companys annual【C2】______, and he walked her home that night. The next week, from his home in Chicago, he【C3】______her a post card: "Remember me？ Please【C4】______, because Ill be calling you one of these days. David". She still has that post card. Im not sure what made her【C5】______it. Though he already had his heart【C6】______her, she hadnt chosen him yet,【C7】______not consciously. As my father often told us【C8】______we were growing up, it was【C9】______luck that he was at the picnic that day. A salesman for a big electronics company, he was in town to【C10】______clients and happened to stop by the branch office that Saturday morning to【C11】______some calls. The telephone rang: it was the【C12】______of a local radio station with whom my father had done some business. So the mana-ger【C13】______my father to come right over to their annual picnic. My mother was a writer at that radio station. If my father hadnt【C14】______by the office that morning, he told us,【C15】______if hed gotten there two minutes later the life our lives would have been【C16】______. A few months after the wedding, my father was transferred east. They【C17】______in New York, in the house where I grew up. Sometimes I think about that, how time sweeps us【C18】______and puts us in a certain place where were faced with one choice or another. By chance or by the【C19】______we make, we leave behind whole other lives we could have lived, full of【C20】______passions and joys, different problems and disappointments.
