A few days ago, my sister Liz and I talked about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something for Father's Day. We talked about the times when we were up and how Mom and Dad used to play the ‘good cop, bad cop’ thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were . He raised us more by than anything else. When he spoke, though we listened, he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) meaning that I never got, but Liz always to decipher(破解) him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a skateboard and I I was too old to ask money from my parents, so I worked at a burger joint (美式汉堡店). One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the . I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to start somewhere, that we may not know it now, but the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come in handy ______in life, ‘Who knows, you might end up having to run a or even own one when you grow up,’ said Dad. He me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I really didn’t agree with it.
A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really days that we had, we were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the were getting delayed. We were sure any minute something terrible would out. I couldn’t stand the any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up with the orders . The owner saw what I did and called me over around time. He said that he was very . He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.
I’ve never forgotten what my dad said that day. And whenever I have to do something that requires new skills, no matter how insignificant or it seems, I have a new perspective(看法) that it might really help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it. Experience is everything and it a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life’s philosophy.

As a music teacher，I have always known that music touches the soul．It can3 6 aII kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way．It can be the 37 for each child to find their light．1 would like to 38 a story about it．
For a few years I was 39 with the opportunity to teach disabled students．One of my most40students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa，who had difficuIty walking，and could not speak．We 41 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 42 on my lap（膝上）．One of her favorite songs was“John the Rabbit．”It was a clapping and response song where I sang the call and the students 43 twice while singing the repeating phrase，“Oh，yes”Vanessa liked to 44 her hands together with mine and clap with me．We probably performed that song during every class，Vanessa and I clapping together．But she 45 said or sang a word．
One day，when the song was finished，Vanessa turned around，46 me in the eye，clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words“Oh，yes!” I opened my mouth in 47 and for that moment 1 was the one who could not speak．When my heart 4 8 started beating again I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 49 through music we had made an awesome connection．
Several years later，I met Vanessa on the street in town．She waved with a big 50 on her face and then clapped her hands twice，imitating the song we had5 1 so many times in our music class．The little girl，52 her connection with music，left an impression on me that will last forever．Every child has the 53 to learn and grow．It is up to us to 54 the way to reach each and every one of our students．We all must find each child’s 55．

At that time 37 of the universities and colleges 38 only men. In the past 20 years many young women have 39 to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a 40 ，some women's colleges decided to accept men students, too. Others still refused to change. Now the women's colleges are 41 again.
