　　Try it yourself

　　My father died when I was 5．It was hard on us all．My brother，who is 8years older than me，began to watch over my mother and me．

　　My mother was forced to get a full-time job．（61）___ He would get me up for school，and make me breakfast．While I was eating he would lay out my clothes，make my bed，and gather my school books up．As we waited for the school bus，he would play the games my father used to play with me．（62）___When we arrived home from school，he would help me with my homework and help Mom to cook．

　　It was a Saturday in June a couple years later．My mother and I were at the store．They had the Father's Day cards out．I stared at them．My mom said："Honey，I know this is a hard time for you．"I said："（63）___ Why don't they have‘brother's day'cards as well？"

　　She smiled and said："You're right．Your brother has certainly been a father to you．Go ahead and pick out a card．"

　　So I did．On Father's Day，my mother and I sat my brother down and gave him the card．（64）___ I heard the cracking （哽咽） in Mom's voice as she said："Son，your father is proud of you．You do your best to fill his shoes．We love you，and thank you．"

　　A．No，Mom，that's not it．

　　B．Mom always works hard．

　　C．He did his best to make me happy．

　　D．My brother had to get up early every morning．

　　E．As he read it，I saw the tears forming in his eyes．
