Being on the road at 3:15 am to drive 450 kilometers wasn't in my plans for the weekend. I had been looking forward to a few days to prepare myself for the following busy .
My son, Simon, and his good friends were heading for the snowfield. I my car to make sure that everyone could get to the drop-off point so that they could get together and enjoy their week's by snowboarding and skiing.
The only thing that l was thinking of on my journey was that as soon as I and said goodbye,1 would make the trip ,in total, a round trip of 900 kilometers in just 10 hours. Such a long drive in one day was frightening, particularly as I was looking forward to relaxation.
Simon and I talked, on our way, a little about his break and a whole lot of his school subjects. It was great to have this time with him as we spent five continuous hours together.
On my return trip, I a strange sense of loneliness in some heavy morning fog. Within an hour it cleared. I spent the next four hours listening to some CDs and enjoying the scenery. Surprisingly, after my long trip home l was refreshed（恢复精神）and energized even though 1 was physically tired. And I knew that l would have a good sleep that evening.
A change in your environment, no matter how great, can provide you with the chance to look at something from different ways, as well as to be refreshed and energized. Now I'm looking forward to my next event and many more chances to spend quality time with those who are important to me and make my life more rewarding.

The boss was 2 to see his good worker go, and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, 3 it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used poor skills and 4 materials. It was an unfortunate way to 5 his career.
When the carpenter finished his work, the boss came to 6 the house. After he checked it out, he handed a 7 to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said. ‘It is my gift to you.”

We know that trees are useful in our everyday life. They give us 1things, such as wood, oxygen, rubber（橡胶）, medicines 2many other things. They can also tell us a lot about our climate. The following are the reasons. If you cut 348a tree, you can see that it has many rings. Most trees grow one new ring 4year. Because of this, we know how old a tree is. A tree over a hundred 5means that it has more than a hundred 6. When the climate is dry or very cold, the trees do not grow very much and their rings 7usually thin. When it is wet and warm, the rings
