Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course, he never said "I love you"to me, . Maybe it's a Chinese cultural(文化) thing, or maybe that's the way my dad was. But whenever I felt , defeated(被打败) or lonely, dad was always there. Dad was a man of words, but I always liked to talk to him, and I could always feel a very special connection(联系) to him.
When I was in high school, dad retired(退休) and had a stand(摊位) on the street near my school. Dad was very good at making fried noodles, and a lot of people liked his noodles. Every day when I finished school, my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really talking to dad in front of his food stand, I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street!
One night, I couldn't it any more and shouted, "Dad, could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don't need a father who sells noodles on the street!" At that moment, dad was shocked. He tried to say but didn't. When he his head away, something happened that I had never seen and would never forget the rest of my life. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad . My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such a fool, and even today I still feel for that night.
Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home city. For the past ten years, whenever I've visited home, dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off at the railway station. Whenever mom was calling me, dad would sit her with a list of questions. He would ask mom to talk to me for him. That's the way dad is, and that's dad shows his love to me.
Dad is still quiet, but I still feel a connection. —"a silent father's love."

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish 1 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.
Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is 2 every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are 3 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait 4 my ideas on how to promote it.
First,we should 5 a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 6 the no-car day, neither students 7 teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time,just walk or run. Use our 8 and enjoy the fun.
Second, we had better not use plastic bags 9 . No one can stand the “white pollution”, 10 it is wise to use cloth bags which can 11 again and again.
12 ,one thing 13 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn 14 the lights the moment we leave, use 15 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.
All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these:no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
