My friend , Sally , had a failed marriage in the past . After divorce , her parents gave the deepest protection and care to her by helping her 36 the child and offering 37 aid . Her parents’ 38 made her pull herself together and 39 the man who had hurt her before .
Nonetheless , her father , an honest and upright old man , after hearing his ex-son-in-law got 40 in his company , felt extremely 41 and went to his company to 42 his boss why such a playboy could get promoted . The whole office fell into a 43 immediately and many staff just looked 44 . The old man stood silently in the office with his bands 45 and eyes tearing .
That night , Sally cried heavily in front of me . I asked her whether it was her father’s 46 deeds that made her feel embarrassed . But she said that she felt 47 about her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her , her old father would still 48 her up and help her get the 49 she deserved , just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball , her father would get it back for her . 50 , this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily out-of-date . No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his 51 rude behaviors .
Although we have grown up , our parents still would not like us to 52 a bit and try all means to 53 us without caring whether what they do is awkward and stupid or not .
Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any 54 ? Only our 55 !

I break off a piece of candy and take pleasure in its sweet outside and the bitter, dark chocolate inside, thinking of my own life. Being raised by a single parent was a bitter-sweet 36 , which gave me motivation and ambition.
There were several years that have left a(n) 37 bitter taste in my mouth —those when my mother married a man and moved my sister, Emily, and me several states away from our hometown. The first few months were 38 : baseball games, family trips to the mall, dinners and movies together. Then things changed. Baseball became too expensive, and trips to the mall were 39 by days Emily and I spent isolated (孤立的) in our rooms under our stepfather’s 40 . Moreover, screaming matches between him and our mother always 41 dinner. We spent five years living in a family that had 42 a war zone. Emily and I almost grew used to this situation . Then one evening, after another argument had erupted , we left home. I was 14, my sister 11, and we were 43 .A friend of my mother let us stay with her.
Instead of focusing on our economic instability, my mother selflessly pushed me to struggle for success. She wanted me to lead a more 44 life than hers. She worked long hours every night to pay her bills. 45 , she would find time to read and play with Emily and me. Mom taught me the 46 of perseverance (坚持不懈) and education. We finally settled in Texas. And now, writing this essay with my favorite candy close at hand, I realize my family and I are at the best points of our lives. I haven’t let the trying times stop me from making 47 , both academically and personally. I know that a bitter environment can provide good learning experiences, and that success, even more than candy, is the sweetest treat of all.
