The made me think of the first day when we moved into this house.
Little Roy ran around the new house with great excitement and tried to move his own things into the house such as his toys, books and clothes, , his little hand knocked over（打翻）a bottle of paint on the shelf. The paint made the tidy floor and white wall a terrible mess（一团糟）. “Oh, my God!” My wife rushed in angrily. I looked at my son, and his small face was filled with .
I and held his hand, “Take it easy, Roy. Now let’s do something to make it look .” I took out a . “You see, Dad is a magician（魔术师）, I can change it into a big tree.”
His mother soon helped paint some butterflies and flowers on the wall.
We spent the whole afternoon and laughing. The wall became a beautiful forest with plants, birds and small animals. Blue sky and white clouds were also painted by Roy. On that day, everybody in the house knew something happened.
The night before Roy left for Harvard, he asked me if I still remembered the day when he had knocked over the paint. “Since then I’ve worried about making mistakes,” he continued, “I believe I can always ways to solve the problems.”

When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t 36 me at home on my own, 37 I had to go to the market with her.
38 , I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mother told me jokes and stories so I didn’t get 39 .When I got older, I gave my mother a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Then one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market 40 because my mother could leave me at home on my own. I 41 my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made 42 them.
One day, my mother was ill, so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to 43 some candles with me and see 44 I could sell them. They 45 in 20 minutes! The next week, my mother gave me some money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They were sold out really quickly, too.
Ten months later, we decided 46 flowers. My mother and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my friends started to help us. I paid them one pound 47 every candle, and we 48 sell them for three or four times. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle 49 me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I’ve 50 looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from the designer, furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.

In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. I call these things 1 and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did 2 the water. Any kind of 3 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 4 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being 5 the water, moving through it, having it all around me. I was not a strong 6 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 7 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 8 those summer days with my father, who 9 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 0 person not in swimsuit.
After swimming, I would go 11 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 12 anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk while he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his 13 . But my father always showed up and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s fine.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 14 an ice cream…
A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is memory.” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but 15 , in that childhood, look at us.
