一篇关于英语的阅读题

My dad was a fisherman. He had his own boat but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.
He was a big man,and he was strong form pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. when you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean.
When the weather was bad he would drive me to school in his old truck. That truck was older than he was. You could hear it coming for blocks. On the way, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. He would stop right in front of the school. it seemed that everybody would be standing!
One day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to school, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said ,"No Dad." It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way. "Dad, I'm too old for goodbye kiss.'" My Dad looked at me for the longest time,and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out.
"You're right," he said. "You are a big boy……a man."
It wasnt long before my dad went to sea and never came back. I wish that my dad would give me just one more kiss…… to feel hisold face……to smell the sea on him. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.
