When I was, about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my outside in the backyard. At once, I out to the yard. There was my bike, it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so ! I thought I my parents' feelings because I could see the disappointment their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I the old bike and rode it, feeling that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn't .
As time went by, I began to understand that my parents gave me much more than
just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about . When you give something out of love, it doesn't matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this because giving a gift is not about money. It's about how much love you can feel from it. Do rememer, a gift that two dollars isn't any less valuble（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.

Life is full of chances and challenges. For students, we don’t study hard，we will fall other students. At first, I didn’t know the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a of competition. In competitions, there were always and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competitions well. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people could . Each time I saw children games, and heard their laughter, I I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents’ words--You must work very hard have a good future. So I up my pen and began to study hard again.
I was still not what competitions really meant. One day, I was an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. I suddenly knew what the competition was. It was not as cruel my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competitions were important and necessary.
I learned a lot what I experienced. Now I understand15 about the world. Competitions are important for us all.

My Unexpected Teacher
One cold, rainy evening last October, I was going to interview an old lady in the hospital to gather information for my medical thesis(论文）.
The old lady was lying on bed 4B. I sat down on a chair next to her bed, and in a low voice I introduced myself and asked how she was doing. She _replied that she was getting better. When I told her that I wanted to gather some information from her, she agreed.
After I finished the questionnaire, I prepared to leave so I could get more medical records. Before I could get up, the old lady spoke up in her _voice, “I haven’t seen you before, Doctor. Are you new?”
“Not really, ma’ma. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. She started _, asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening. I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk.
“Doctor, do you think I can get back to my normal life?” the old lady asked at one point.
I replied that while I didn’t know much about her case, I could tell her what I had learnt about the recovery of the patients of her kind. However, I was unwilling to go into too much detail _I was only a medical student.
The old lady started talking about herself. She shared her difficulties and sufferings, talked about her husband, who was killed in a car accident, and her struggle to earn money. All I did was to nod my head as a way of showing my sympathy(同情）.
_, I discovered that the old lady had been allowed to go out of the hospital as her condition had improved, though she would still need treatment.
The old lady taught me one of the most important _ a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients do not need expensive treatment. They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear to them and spend some time to be with them.
