A．So I took the challenge

B．I always parked forward

C．The car didn't hit one single thing

D．But it was impossible I could do that way

E．I had made a mistake about the distance of the car

My house is on a hill．There was only a small parking place．As a new driver，I was so scared when I realized I would have to reverse（倒车）out of the driveway．I knew that if I parked backwards（朝后），it would be easier to get out later．（66）　　．

For three months，I didn't even think of trying．（67）　　．But one day，I suddenly thought to myself，"How am I ever going to know whether I can do it if I don't even try？"

So I started my car，went down that hill，turned around and reversed．I made it．I got into the parking place．（68）　　．

As weeks went on，I continued trying．The more I practiced，the better I did．But I had never practiced parking in the dark before．Then I decided to push myself．（69）　　．

When I slowly drove to the parking place，I couldn't see anything．My heart was beating rapidly．A moment later I guessed I was getting somewhere，I let the car go．Oh，my god!The car hit a tree．（70）　　．But I tried it after all．

I packed，and was ready to leave for my two﹣day trip．I had been busy with my work．I had

made（73）p　　 for the trip for the last few days，and I expected to get（74）r　　 for several days．

As I got into the car to leave，my mind flew to my kids．

How to keep in touch with your kids when you're busy or far away is a dilemma（两难的问

题） many fathers have．Men like to focus special attention on one thing for a long （75）p　　，but this can lead to trouble．Moving from work to family isn't always an easy thing．And if you don't （76）s　　 your kids that you're thinking about them，they may think that you don't care．

As I started down the road，I suddenly stopped to（77）t　　 back to my house and

wrote a short message on a（78）c　　 of cards to each of my children．I put each in a

"secret"place where I knew they'd find it．

When I called the next night，they both said（79）e　　，"Daddy，I got your card．When

did you do that？"

I was moved when I heard these words．What I had never thought was that a small thing had

a big influence on my kids．It proved（证明） that they were in my heart．And distance （距离）couldn't（80）s　　 them from their father．To my satisfaction，they feel"love"of their father．

This（81）v　　 experience encouraged me to continue to do the small things to be a responsible father．

As fathers get much busier and have to work longer hours，they usually pay （82）l　　

attention to the small things．Don't miss the good chances to let your kids see how important they are．

Take a moment to do a small thing for your kids．It won't （83）s　　 small to them．
