When I was 18 years old, one morning, my father told me to drive him into a town, about 40 miles away. I had just learned to 36，so I agreed with pleasure. When we came to the town, something was wrong with the car. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it  37 and promised to pick Dad up at 4 pm. Because I had a few hours to spend, I decided to go to the  38 .However I became   39 interested in the film that I forgot the time. When the last film finished, it was 6 o’clock.
I was afraid Dad would be  40 and never let me drive again, so I drove back quickly to meet Dad and made an excuse(借口) 41 my being late. I’ll never forget the cry he gave me: “I’m disappointed that I feel you have to tell a lie to me, Jack. I’m angry, not with  42 but with myself. I have failed  43 I’ve brought up a son who can not even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about  44 I have done wrong all these years.” 
Dad began  45 along the road. I begged(乞求)all the way, telling him how I drove behind him for 40 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most unforgettable lesson. I have never told a lie to him ever since.

Li Jie was one of my classmates. He and I were also neighbours. He always listened to his mother   37  I didn’t like listening to my mother. I didn’t think it was necessary for  38  to teach me anything. Li Jie knew all about that but he said   39  to me.

One weekend, Li Jie invited me to watch a film. I liked films very much so I went to the   40  with him happily. The film was about the love between a   41  and her son. After watching it, I began to know how great the love of the mother was. I felt   42  that I didn’t listen to my mother before. I decided to think more about my mother than about   43 .
