On the last Wednesday of each August the shops of the small Spanish town of the Bunol don't open． Anyone who doesn't like tomatoes leaves town and the streets become full of tourists． They are here to take part in La Tomatina， the world's largest vegetable fight． For a couple of hours almost 50，000 kgs of tomatoes are launched as missiles（导弹） at whoever moves．
La Tomatina started around fifty years ago， when，for no reason， a group of local people started throwing tomatoes at each other． Other people joined in and had so much fun that they did the same thing the next year． Since then La Tomatina has grown and grown． In 2004 almost 20，000 people took part in the "tomato war"． Now days it is the most important part of a week﹣long festival involving（包含） parades， eating， drinking， and lots of fireworks．
On the morning of La Tomatina ， eight big trucks full of soft tomatoes pull into the center of the town． Official starters climb into the trucks and start throwing tomatoes at the crowd． That is the signal that the fight is about to start． From then on it is a wild scene， as everybody tries to get into the truck to get to the tomatoes． Nobody on the streets is safe from attack（攻击）． And there is nothing the locals like more than throwing tomatoes at camera﹣carrying tourist．
Finally， after two hours， all the tomatoes have been thrown． Everybody is tired， sweaty and covered with tomatoes． A bell rings to signal the end of the fight and everyone is a friend again． Tomato﹣covered clothing is taken off and throw away and the crowds wash themselves in public showers down by the river． La Tomatina is over for another year．

One day, my father and I were in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏表演). And a family was standing in front of us.
The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive but clean．The children talked about the clowns(小丑), elephants, monkeys and other things excitedly. It was their first time to go to the circus.
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly answered, “I want eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady said the price. The man's wife lowered her head and there was no smile on the man's face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”
The ticket lady said the price again. The man didn’t have enough money. How could he tell his eight kids the bad news? My dad put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground．(In fact, we were not rich!) Then my dad said, “Excuse me, sir, this dropped out of your pocket.”
The man knew what was going on. He looked into my dad’s eyes, held my dad’s hand in his, and took the $20 bill. “Thank you, sir, thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

There are all kinds of food in the world. Some people like the Chinese food. Firstly, the Chinese food has a lot of fruit and green vegetables. It has little sugar and fat. Secondly, the Chinese food is very delicious(美味的) and has many dishes. So Chinese people can keep fit and have white teeth. However, some people enjoy the western(西方的) food. Now many people, especially the workers in companies(公司), are too busy to have lunch slowly so the western food meets their need and they can eat quickly. And the food is not too bad, too.

Suppose you are 17 and live alone with no money. Years ago, that was my dad. His father died when he was 10, and as the oldest of five, he had to take care of his brothers and sisters. When his mother remarried, my dad had to leave home. With few choices, he joined the army, and worked as hard as he could for a job, a nice house, and a family. Having a dad like him has made me different from other people; with his help and advice, I set and meet my goals.
When I wanted to play basketball, my dad said, “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do.” People thought I was too small to play, but he let me know I could. Looking back now, I know why my dad said this to me: it was something his father and mother never told him.
Time flew by. It was time for me to look for a job. A department store offered me a job as cart assistant. For the whole day, I pushed shopping carts. It was so cold that I couldn’t move my hands. But my dad wouldn’t let me give up, even though I wanted to. He kept saying it would get better, and he was right. I’ve worked there for a year now and I do much more than just push carts.
My dad helped me grow into the person I’m becoming. When I was younger, I was small. The other boys called me “Lil Nicky”. I hated it. I went to my dad for a help. He encouraged me and helped me make an exercise plan and I got to work.
In my life, there are different roads. My dad helped me get on the one I continue on today. I know I am just at the beginning. There will be difficulties. But there will always be my dad. Even when he is not physically here for me, his words won’t leave my mind.At the age of ________, my father had to care for his brothers and sisters.
