There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know a thing about being a good father. I couldn’t 1 him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say “2 to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a 3. Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. Not my dad ---- he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.
So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and 4 every penny I could and 5 I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to 6 to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, I’ll only 7you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see,” was all he said.
One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a 8 to work. The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house , 9 it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a(n) 10 day. As I dropped my dad off, I 11 him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his 12 from the truck (車尾箱) of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were 13 lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family. My father is a cement finisher(水泥修整工).
In that instant, it14 to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out, 15 hot it got. Never, not once, had I hear him 16 about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to 17 me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my 18. Don’t work too hard. I love you.”
His 19 met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he 20 his throat and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”

Our tolerating ability is indeed way beyond our imagination. But not until the very critical moment will we 1our potential tolerating ability.
There was a woman in the countryside who got married at the age of 18 and had to escape with her two daughters and a son wherever she could at the age of 26 due to the Japanese army’s invasion. Many people in the village at that time could not 2the suffering of being a fugitive（亡命者） and wanted to commit suicide. After she knew about it, she would come to those3 ,saying, “Don’t do that 4 thing. There are no such setbacks(挫折) that we could not overcome!”
Finally she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China. 5, her son died of disease without sufficient6 and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking anything. She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should also 7. Though our son has passed away, we can have another. ”
After giving birth to the second 8 her husband died of edema（水腫病）, which almost 9her away. But eventually, she10 and held the three young children in her arms, saying, “My sweet hearts, don’t feel scared. You still have me, your dear mum!”
It took her pain efforts to11her children up and the life of her family was getting better and better. Two daughters were married and so was his son finally. She said to everyone she met, “Look! What I said is 12right. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!” She was 13gradually and could not do the farm work anymore. So she stayed at home and did some sewing work.
Nevertheless, the Heaven seemed to show no affection to her who had undergone a14 life. She got her leg broken 15 when she was nursing her grandson. Due to her old age that posed a great risk to her operation, she did not receive operation and had to lie in bed all day long. Her children all cried heavily, while she merely said, “Why do you cry? I am still living.”
16 she could not rise from bed, she did not complain about anything and anybody. Instead, she sat on the bed and did some sewing work. She had learnt scarves-weaving, crafts-making, etc. All her neighbors spoke 17 of her skills and came to learn from her.
She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
We will only get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating ability after getting 18heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the 19 of our destiny and maintain low-spirited all the time. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome. Only those who have no confidence and courage to overcome setbacks will be 20 at last!

“Excuse me, I need to 2 these,” I said .
“So ? I’m not your 3! You should get yourself a basket and start filling,” Miss Bee, the owner of the store, said 4 without smiling. “If you’re 5 you’ll be home by sunset.” Sunset was five hours away. 6, the store was a puzzle, and I wasn’t sure if I would make it.

“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” Suddenly, I was 15 at that general store where Miss Bee had really taught me something all those years ago.

When my twin sons, Chad and Brad, were born, I was concerned about everything. Five years later, our little girl, Becky 1 our family. I wanted everybody to be healthy and happy. I worked hard to see that they were.
As the kids grew older, I worried about headaches, throat infections and many other common childhood illnesses．I didn’t like it when the boys spent time “warming the bench (板凳)” during Little League football games. I worried about Becky when she 2 the ball while playing softball．Before long, the teen years were upon us. I stayed up late at night waiting for the boys to return home．Many times the 3 crossed my mind that I would call the police if they weren’t home on time. 4, they always arrived home safe and sound before I had to take such 5.
“Please don't ever call the police,” one of the boys said when I 6 him after a late arrival. The day the boys moved away to college was a(n) 7 day indeed. I worried about their being able to take care of themselves. Would they starve?
A few months after the boys left college, our 8 rang in the middle of the night. It startled (驚醒) us when we looked at the clock．It was 3 o’clock in the morning. “Something must be wrong,” I shouted to my husband, Roy, as we both jumped up．We ran to the door, opened it, and there stood a police officer.
“You need to call your sons,” he 9 announced. I picked up the telephone, but unfortunately, it was10. A line outside had been accidentally cut. Roy and I jumped into the car and 11 to the nearest telephone．My stomach ached．My husband was 12 so badly that he could hardly dial the number.
On the first 13, Chad answered the telephone. “What's wrong?” Roy shouted into the receiver (聽筒). “We were worried about you,” Chad told him. “We’ve been trying to call you all night, but you didn’t 14We called the police and asked them to go and check on you.”
For the first time in their lives, the boys were worried about us. And they were the ones who 15 had to call the police.

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 1 at me and said, “I love you.” I didn't know what to say. 2 several seconds all I could do was to stand there and 3 down at him . My first thought was that he must need 4with his homework or he was trying to 5me for some news.
Finally I asked, “What was that all about?” “Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should 6our parents that we love them and sees what they say. It’s 7.
The next day I called his teacher to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had 8.
“Basically, most of the fathers had the 9 reaction as you did,” the teacher said. “When I first 10 we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.
“The 11 is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of 12 . It is something all people 13. What I'm trying to tell the children is that it's too 14 we don't all express those feeling. A boy 15 tell his dad he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how 16 it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for a (n) 17 moment. And just 18 he pulled away , I said in my deepest , most manly voice , “Hey , I love you , too . ”
I don't know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time one of my children says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole 19 to think of the right 20 .

A Faithful Father

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was 1, and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my 2. His beaming (歡笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re 3 my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in 4 ……”
He didn’t finish the 5, but it was obvious that his display of honesty was 6. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade 7 because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being 8 in the future. And every time I tell this story some people agree with this 9.
But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my 10 in grading by undermining (損害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to 11 an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest 12 of his knowledge and it would have been 13to other students. How could I 14 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know 15 reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like 16 too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up17as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is 18enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did 19 him from being honest in the future, but bribing (賄賂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have 20
him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt 1 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 2 process, but there's always some brave soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 3 that we find ways to 4 people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 5 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 6, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies(老兄) and I decided to play a 7 on him.”
“After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a FOX. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 8. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 9 found out.”
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 10 on my list. I didn't even know if he was still 11. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 12 , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused “Yes”. “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a 13 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you because your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me … for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 14 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to 15 the past wrongdoings.

Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program.

Once I 2  that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 3 friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 4 , nothing about my term in France was what I 5.
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 6 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 7 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator（協(xié)調(diào)人）: there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 8 out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a 9this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(誘惑) to 10my native language, I asked not to be 11with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 12 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian（巴西人） the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDS! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 13 .
I left France with many 14 , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 15 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends16 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 17 seem so different, but end up being so18 The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the friend people 19to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.
