There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know how to be a good father. I couldn’t 16 him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say “ 17 ” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a 18 . Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. Not my dad — he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.
So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and 19 every penny I could and when I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to 20 it off to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, you only need to pay me five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see,” was all he said.
One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a 21 to work. The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house, 22 it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a hot day. As my dad got out of my car, I 23 him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his 24 from the truck (车尾箱) of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were 25 lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family. My father is a cement finisher(水泥修整工).
Suddenly, it came up with me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete(混凝土) to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out, 26 hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him 27 about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he ask us to pay for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to 28 me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my __29__. Don’t work too hard. I love you.”
His eyes met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he 30 his throat(喉咙) and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to , laugh, and to do things with. Certainly, we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel if we never have friends.
No two people are just the same. Friends sometimes don’t get on well with each other(相处融洽). It doesn’t mean that they no longer each other. Most of the time they will become friends again.
Sometimes when friends away, we will feel very sad. We miss them very much, but we can them and write to them. And we can make friends. It is to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There is more good news for people who have friends. They live than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay healthy. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares about you. If so, you will take better care yourself.

A few years ago, I worked a 12-hour night shift(夜班) and got home from work.
I was on my way back home and was very tired. I at a restaurant to have breakfast. Right after I placed my order, I saw a man come in. He was carrying a small backpack and looked like he had seen better times. He reached in his pocket and pulled out some . He asked the waitress if 38 cents was to buy a cup of coffee. She looked at his backpack and said, “ . Have a seat.” (Coffee was 50 cents a cup at the time.) It really touched me how she had tried to protect his pride and how he hadn’t asked for any charity.
Shortly before my came, I asked the waitress to come over. I said, “You know, I am not feeling well. I don’t think I am going to be able to eat my breakfast. Do you think there is here who might eat it?” She first asked if I was OK and then she . She said, “I think so. Are you sure?” I told her that I was sure.
She then walked over to the gentleman and told him that I had ordered food and it was too to stop the order but I didn’t feel like eating. Would he be so kind as to take it they wouldn’t have to throw it away? I had walked to the cash register(收银台) and was paying for the meal. At the cash register, I asked if they had gift cards. They did. I bought one $25.00 and asked them to give it to the gentleman after I left.
