A long time ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play with it every day. But time went by, the little boy had    32   and he no longer played around the tree.
　　 One day, the boy came back to the tree. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a    33   I can’t play with you now.” The boy replied, “I need    34   .” “Sorry, I don’t have any. But you can pick all my apples and    35   them.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. He didn’t come back. The tree was sad.
　　 The other day, the boy returned and the tree was so    36   . “Come and play with me.” The tree said. “I need a house for my family. Can you help me?” “You can cut off my branches（枝干）to build your house.”   37   the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy, but the boy didn’t come since then. The tree was lonely again. One hot summer day, the boy came back again after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have    38   for you anymore.
“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am    39   after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parents. When we were young, we loved to play with them. But when we grow up, we    40   them, and only come to them when we are41    trouble. You may think that the boy is cruel（殘忍）to the tree, but that’s how many of us are treating to our parents.

Dear Dad,

I’m writing to you because it’s not easy to talk about it. I still   31   clearly how my uncle died two years ago. In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking. I’ve looked up a lot of information about smoking and I found out something   32  . You know that smoking is bad for your  33   and can cause cancer. I’ve learnt that it causes many other   34   too. Do you know that over ten thousand people die from smoking every year in Britain?

When mum asks you to smoke   35  , you think she’s angry. Well, it’s true that she doesn’t like the   36   of smoke in the house. When you smoke, it’s also   37   for mum and me. In other words, when we   38   in your smoke, it’s like we’re smoking ourselves.   39  , we can also get disease. Doctors are finding that

more and more   40   are falling ill because of the others’ smoking.

I know that it’s very   41   to stop smoking, but you must give it up. Please see the doctor and ask him   42   help. We will do anything we can to help you. You must try to   43   your own life. We don’t want to  44   you because you are so important to us.  45   you, who can help me with my maths homework or mend my bike? Please don’t smoke!

Your daughter,

Meimei
