Do you want to be a good child?
I have a friend whose parents live in another city. One day I went to see her. We had a nice conversation. Then she wanted to 21 . So she dialed the number , but then she put down the phone. After about fifteen seconds, she dialed the number again “I, Mom.”
Later I asked , “22 did you dial the number twice?”She smiled, “My parents are old and 23 . They can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I just want to give them enough time to answer the call.”

“Jane, please let me borrow a dollar,” Jenny asked as they stood in the school lunch line. “I have one in my jacket, but I don’t want to 1 and lose my place.”
“OK,” agreed Jane.
Jane waited all day for Jenny to 2 back the dollar she borrowed, but Jenny always seemed to be 3 . “She’s just forgotten,” thought Jane. “I don’t want to make her angry.” Still, her money didn’t go 4 . Some classmates, like Jenny, were 5 five dollars a week.
Weeks went by. At last Jane got up enough courage (勇气) to tell her about the money.
“Oh Jane, I 6 !” Jenny said. “I’ll bring the dollar tomorrow.”
The next day Jenny seemed to have forgotten again. During the noon hour Jane saw her buying sweets for Mary and Ann. Jenny saw Jane looking at her. 7 she said something in a low voice to the other two girls. Jane felt 8 and asked her teacher if she could go back to the classroom.
In the classroom, Jane saw two new pencils in Jenny’s desk. An 9 came to her. “Jenny’s not 10 lately, and anyway, she really owes (欠) me. Besides, she has all money to buy more. A dollar doesn’t mean anything to her, but it means a lot to me.”

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing（抓住）his hand while we walked together. As I grew older, I remember my father and I listening to basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep 35 the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet with the 36 score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered（分送）the bread to the stores. The 37 and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would be present at all my games. One night before an important game my father told me 38 that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour 39 . The next day as the game drew near I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and 40 saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He managed to 41 the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I had become a 42 . I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart 43in my ears. I 44 the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing really 45 to me. I still taught in school but I couldn’t centre attention on my teaching. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the same way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my 46in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, compassion and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day on I started. I’ll always remember that!

“Happy Birthday!” David awoke to the voice of his mother. “It’s time to get up and drive out to35 grandfather’s farm.”

She wanted to give me something special for my birthday, so she found this beautiful rock and polished(打磨)it day and night 44 it shined.
