三、完形填空（共15分，每小题1分）
One day last summer, my friend Rahim Khan called from Pakistan. He asked me to come and see him. Standing in the kitchen with the _36_ to my ear, I knew it wasn’t just Rahim Khan on the line. It was my past of wrong doings. After I _37_ up, I went for a walk along Spreckels Lake on the northern edge of Golden Gate Park. The early - afternoon sun shone on the _38_ where dozens of miniature boats sailed. _39_ I saw a pair of kites, red with long blue tails, soaring in the sky. _40_ danced high above the trees on the west end of the park, flying side by side like a pair of eyes looking down on San Francisco, the city I now call _41_. And suddenly Hassan’s voice whispered in my head, “For you, a thousand times over.”

I sat on a park bench near a willow tree. I thought about something Rahim Khan said just before he hung up, “There is a way to be good again.” I looked up at those twin _42_. I thought about Hassan. I thought of the life I had lived _43_ the winter of 1975 came and changed everything. And that made me what I am _44_.

_45_ we were children, Hassan and I used to climb the poplar trees in the driveway of my father’s house. We would sit across from each other on a pair of high branches. I can still see Hassan _46_ in that tree, sunlight flickering (闪烁) through the leaves on his almost perfectly round face. Sometimes, up _47_ those trees, I talked Hassan into throwing walnuts at the neighbour. Hassan never wanted to, _48_ if I asked, really asked, he wouldn’t deny (拒绝) me. Hassan never denied me _49_. Hassan’s father, Ali, used to catch us and get _50_. He would wave us down from the tree.
