A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had 26 to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well 27 it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how 28 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how 29 he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box. 30 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his 31 to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then 32 out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very 33 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family. 34 that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him 35 that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a 36 telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take 37 of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search through his father’s important
papers, he saw the still new Bible, 38 as he had left
it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to 39
the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）
dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the
40 of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN
FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.

My life, as it really is, is always filled with sadness and little joy. However, no matter what happens, I can always face it .
In July, last year, I couldn't believe the news that I was to enter the only key high school in my hometown. Then I rushed to my home and told my parents. But my father didn't seem as as I was. He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn't help _ .
What I saw didn't make me surprised. I knew very well _ my family was like. My mum had been in bed for two years because of her disease. I knew my family lived a hard life and couldn't afford my tuition fee(学费). I felt so upset at that moment but I could say to my parents.
I decide to help my father with his work to support my family instead of my schooling.
To my surprise, things completely changed just three days before the beginning of the new term. My head teacher who had taught me three years came to my family with some money, which had been raised(筹集) by my schoolmates. He encouraged me, “Always have .”
At the same time, my father also earned some extra money, he tried his best to afford part of my tuition fee.
I knew I was such a lucky dog and decided to study harder in return. With tears in my eyes, I stepped into the key high school I had dreamed of.
I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. Whenever I meet difficulties, I always think of my teacher and schoolmates, and I can always get enough courage to go on. Because I have a college dream and must work hard for it no matter how hard life is. Just as a saying goes, “When one door shuts, opens in life.”

It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was perfecting a paper plane, while Sam was on an oil painting.
But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (叹息) of .
“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a .” she said, covering up her work with her hands.
Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.
It wasn’t until later that evening that I a “mailbox” taped onto the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t Sam or baby Paul. They are pages of colored scenes including flowers with happy faces. “He can’t read yet,” she whispered (低声说), “ he can look at the pictures.” Each time I received one of my little girl’s gifts, it my heart. I was touched at how carefully she paid attention to what wrong happened to us. When Stephen lost a baseball game, there was a letter telling him she thought he was the best ballplayer in the whole world. After I had a day, there was a message thanking me for my efforts.
This same little girl is grown now, driving off every day to the state college, but some things about her have changed. Yesterday I found a love note next to my bedside. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mom,” it read, “I’m glad that we’re the best friends.”
There are angels among us. I know I live with one.

It’s spring now. New leaves come out from the tree. Everything begins to turn green. It makes us feel happy.
I watch the apple trees and remember a little story.
A long time ago, there was an apple tree and a little boy. The boy came and around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the , and rest under the shadow (树荫). He loved the tree and the tree loved him. Time went by … The little boy up and no longer played around it. The old tree was very sad. It didn’t know . The boy said, “I am not a kid. I want to play with toys. But I don’t have money.”
“You needn’t about it. Pick all my apples and sell them, you will have money.” After that the boy didn’t come back. Years later, the boy returned and the tree was happy. But its surprise, the boy cut it down to build a house. Many years later the boy returned again. The old tree was happy and said to him “Sorry, my boy. I can’t give you more. The only thing left is my dying roots. But you can sit down and rest here. This is your forever .
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parents. When we were young, we loved playing with them. When we grow up, we them, and only come to them when we need something or are in trouble. No matter what happens, parents will be there and give what they have to make us .
We may say the boy is cruel (冷酷的) to the tree but that’s how we are treating (对待) our parents. Nowadays, many old people feel lonely because their children don’t live with them. We hope all of us try to help those old people and manage to make the old have a happy life.

Early last year, two young brothers in Jiangsu Province badly burned while playing. The“game”they were playing was they had watched in the cartoon Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf （《喜羊羊和灰太狼》）.The brothers were two little goats while their friend was playing a bad wolf . Their friend tied them a tree and set fire to the grass around them.
The sad story is an example of how many children follow the violence（暴力） they see on television, especially cartoons. It is that violent cartoons can make children more aggressive（具有攻击性的）. In a survey, researchers the children after watching non-violent and violent cartoons. They found that the kids who watched violent cartoons fought with others and class rules more often.
Children under the age of seven are too to understand that the violence on TV can bring
real harm. It is parents’ job them understand it.
