Whenever I recall my childhood, there is one thing I remember clearly. My father used his 36 to let my mother 37 her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the 38 . One evening, our father came home and there was no 39 , not even a piece of bread. My father had no money and he was as 40 as we were. My brother and I went to bed without having anything.
41 I knew from the expressions on my father’s face that he could not 42 us be hungry for long. He left the house, and about two hours later he 43 and woke us up. He had two small potato pies in his hands. I didn’t know where he got the money for the food but somehow he 44 to find a way. It was clear that he wanted to get his children 45 .
My father did not eat and had 46 all day but he sat there and felt 47 at seeing us eat. This has always stuck in my 48 . At that moment, I felt 49 knowing that he tried his best not to let us 50 , and he wanted us to know he was always there with us.
In 51 times, I think, it is important not to 52 weakness but strength. 53 the mother is the cement(黏合剂)that 54 a family together, then the father is the steel that strengthens that cement.
It is his values and 55 that have carried me forward and helped me deal with my own problems in life.

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a 36 this summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a 37. One of her colleagues needed a full-time 38 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to 39 to Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a 40 child.
Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not 41 him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium（平衡）problems.He couldn’t 42 or run properly. I was 43 if I was to take the job when my mother 44 , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the 45 .”
Then I told her I was 46 for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little 47 , he was quite a mix.
At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face 48 up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be 49 to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn’t! It took him a lot of time. But with patience and support. Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his 50 and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he 51 it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his 52 . After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 53 and asked, “May I go down again alone?”
I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children 54 for granted.
This 55 child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

He 29 riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. Even when he was 30 or tired, he did not stop 31 he wanted to cover as much area as possible.

Benin is one of the smallest African states. It lies in West Africa on the Gulf (海湾) of Guinea, to the south of Burkina Faso and Niger, between Togo on the west and Nigeria on the east.
Benin used to be called Dahomey and was controlled and ruled by France from 1893 to 1960, when it became independent. In 1963 the army general Soglo overthrew (推翻) the first president Maga. Soglo set up an army government and called himself head of state in 1965, but was overthrown and replaced by a civilian (非军人) government in 1967. In December 1969 Benin had another change of power with the army again taking over. In May 1970, Maga and two other men set up a new government, with each of them acting as president in turn for two years. However, half a year after Maga turned over power to the second man Ahomadegbe, the three-man government was overthrown by the army once more and General Kerekou became president. In November 1975 Kerekou changed the name of the nation from Dahomey to Benin, Benin being the name of a 17th century kingdom covering the same place. Kerekou also announced that Benin would be a People’s Republic based on Marxism-Leninism.

After 21 years of marriage, I discovered a new way of keeping the spark (火花) of love alive. I started to go out with another woman. It was really my wife’s 26 .
The other woman that my 27 wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow (寡妇) for 19 years, but the 28 of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only 29 . That night I called to invite her to go out for 30 and a movie. “What’s wrong, are you 31 ?” she asked. My mother is the type of woman who 32 that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. “I thought that it would be 33 to pass some time with you,” I responded. “Just the 34 of us.” She thought about it for a moment, then said, “I would like that very much.”
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and 35 . My mother took my arm 36 she were the First Lady.
