When I was 18 years old, I lived with my parents on a farm.
One morning, my father asked me to drive him into the town, about 18 miles away, for he would attend a meeting there. We were deep in the country, so I would always look forward to going to the town. And I had just learned to drive, so I with pleasure. First we came to the town. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it parked and promised to pick dad up at 4 pm. Because I have a few to spend, I decided to go to the . However, I became so interested in the films that I forgot the . When the last film finished, it was 6 pm.
I was afraid that dad would be and never let me drive again, so I drove back to meet dad and made an excuse for being late. Then dad caught me in the lie. I’ll never forget he said to me.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jack. I’m angry, not with you, but with myself. I’ve because there must be something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn’t give you the confidence to tell me the truth. I’m going to home now and think seriously about it.”
Dad began walking along the road. I begged all the way, telling him how sorry I was. I drove behind him for 18 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most lesson. I have never lied to him ever since.

I asked many classmates and friends, “What do you think you will be when you grow up?” 1 of them told me what they would like to be in the future, 2 others said, “I don’t know.” I’m 3 to hear that because I think it’s bad. I think having dreams or hopes about the future will help us do better at school.
As middle school students, it’s time for us to 4 what we want to be in the future. If we know it better, we will know 5 to do it better at school. For example, if you are outgoing and like to meet people, you can be a 6 in the future. Then you should practice 7 more articles. If you’re happy with children and like 8 , you can teach English as a job in the future. And then you are supposed to work harder at English. If you want to 9 many interesting places, you can be a tour guide.
Of course, all the 10 that we are learning at school will be useful in the future, so we should work hard at all of them.

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were 1 warmly and equipped with the video___2___ we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired 3 I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so 4 that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin __5___I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He 6 over to another nearby dustbin and started looking 7 it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and 8 the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in 9 and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made 10 feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with __11___, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s 12 day!”
He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he 13 away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can 14 help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness 15 by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.
