I never saw my father come home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”. He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.
For 22 years, since I left home for college , my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He was always interested in my life----how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.
Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked, was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.
Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set(秋千) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.
The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed(发誓) that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him.
I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had died at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, time to wait for me.
In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about myself. As a father, he never asked me for anything but my time. Now he has all my attention, every single day.We know from the reading that the father .

Once there was a man travelling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck(固定) right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.
Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?

It’s time for school! But on May 14th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas, US, were told to go back home.
Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school.
Schools in the US don’t always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes(着装要求). For example, Duncanville High School tells students to wear belts, shirts without logos(标识).
Schools’ most-hated clothes are different.
In 2011, the saggy(松垮的) trousers law was passed in Florida. It stops students from wearing trousers that show body parts.
Now, “the favourite new target(目标) of the school dress code” is leggings(紧身裤), reported the Associated Press. Some schools don’t allow leggings. Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings.
Some students complain(抱怨) that schools are going too far. But schools say dress codes help protect students’ safety and make sure they grow up with good taste.

Some students complain that schools are going too far probably because .
| A．they want to grow up with good taste |

In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited．About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along．They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them．People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way．Someone shouted at them．The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about．The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed （窘迫的．No one had told them about the British custom （习惯）of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus．
Learning the language of a country isn't enough．If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country．You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own．A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table．The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself．Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree．But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement．Nodding （点头）your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty．
In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no'．At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up．If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top．
In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting．Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble．Also, you should try to avoid （避免）touching the head of an adult （成人）——it's just not done in Thailand．The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________．
