     "I"m    2   tomorrow," he said.
     "I know." My    3   was almost a whisper (低声). I was    4   at myself for being so weak,but I
wasn"t about
to cry.
     "My    5   is early, so there is still    6   time to come to the airport," he said. Seeing the    7   look on
my face, he quickly added, "I promise (答应) I won"t leave without saying goodbye."

you wouldn"t cry," he said to me, thinking that I was close to    10   .
     I remember the day he taught me how to ride a bike.    11   I thought he was always right behind me,
holding the seat to keep me from     12   . I was happy with this,but he knew he couldn"t hold me up all
my life.He told me that one day he would have to let go.
     His coughing stopped my thinking. What was left to say? How could I say    13   to the person who
taught me everything?
     The next morning I    14   , looked at my alarm clock,and realized he had left    15   ago. We never
even said goodbye.

only an answer in his heart.
