a spring afternoon，I came home from school and saw that my mother was airing her quilts．I decided to air ．I carried my quilts out in my arms and hung them at the end of the clothes line．After lunch．I went straight back to school．When I came home I saw my quilts．Since the afternoon，they had been moved to the place on the line．The quilts were in the sun my mother’s quilts were hanging in the shadows(阴影)at the ends of the clothes line．I touched my quilts．
They warm，as warm as the palms(手心)of a mother．I also touched my mother’s quilts．They were cool，as cool as the of a mother’s hands．
All of a sudden，a stream of memories appeared before my eyes：the finest quality bed sheets in my home，the room in the best position，the most delicious dishes…all were mine，just like the sunshine where I stood． On the short road of life，it might be your friends who give you happiness；it might be your lover who can make you feel loving；and it might be your job that can enrich you．However，it your mother who makes you warm．She does she can do to love and help you．With the backs of her hands，she protects you from difficulties；with her palms，she shines on you warm sunlight．

"When I was your age," a father said to his sixteen-year-old son one day, "I was at the top of my class every year. And I what I wanted to do when I left school. I had goals (目标). You are always at the bottom (最后) of your class you have no goals."
The man's son said nothing. He had already heard this from his father many times. "And when your mother was your age, " the young man's father , " she had a good job and she lots of money. You don't even have a part-time job .You earn nothing. " The man's son still said nothing. He had heard this before, too. "
And when your brother was your age, "the young man's father said, "he studied hard. But you just waste your time."

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive 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 and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. 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 beat in my ears. I up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started. I’ll always remember that!

One day I went swimming with my in the sea. I wanted to play a joke on them. In the beginning, I went swimming , and I called out, “Help!” All my friends came to help me, only to find that I was joking. But the next time I wasn’t joking. I was so that I swam in deep water.

Dear Ace Travel,
My family and I want to take a trip this summer somewhere in eastern China. I hope you can provide me with some about the kinds of vocations that your firm can offer. We would like to travel to an place and we don’t mind how far we have to go. It has to be a place where we can do lots of activities; we especially love hiking and swimming, but any kind of outdoor activity is fine. We also need to stay in an hotel or apartment. It would be nice if we could get a room with a kitchen so we could save money by cooking our own meals. The room needs to be for three people. Also, we’d like to stay at a place with a big pool or somewhere near the ocean. Could you please give me some suggestions for vacation spots?
Thank you very much!
S. T. Zhang
