When did you last say"I love you"to your father？If you can't remember，then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 18．
Generally compared to a mother's gentle love，a father represents （代表 ） qualities like independence（独立），confidence，courage and adventure．Also，a caring father can help their children get along with others，according to a study on Live Science．Fathers not only lead their children into their social circle but also teach them how to act and control their feelings．
For example，Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid．So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members．"Games like soccer and swimming seemed to be silly at that time but they improved my ability of leading and cooperating（合作），"Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine．
US actor Will Smith learned important lessons from small things taught by his father．His father once planned to pull down a wall of their shop and rebuild it．But little Will thought it was impossible．After a year
and a half，they did it．"You don't try to build a wall．You are going to lay a brick（砖） every day．And soon you have a wall，"he said on TV show Charlie Rose （《查理．罗斯访谈录》）．
"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters，"British poet George Herbert （1593﹣1632）once said．Do you agree？

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is way.
At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is, “You can’t.” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistake is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this : Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learnt 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited(有限的) .
There is an old saying, “ If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed. If you are making a mistake, that means_______ .
| A．you are careful. | B．you’re kind. |
| C．you ‘re growing. | D．you know nothing. |
If you never try new things, you can’t _____ .
| A．improve | B．create | C．spend | D．A and B |
After Edison failed 10,000 times, he ________ .
| A．gave up | B．invented the light bulb. |
| C．invented the computer. | D．invented 10,000 new things. |
When you make a mistake, you are closer to_______ .
| A．time | B．money | C．success | D．everything |
What’s the main idea of the passage?
| A．Never make mistakes. |
| B．You can make mistakes without thinking. |
| C．Sometimes it’s good to make mistakes. |
| D．Making mistakes is terrible. |
