Each spring brings many wildflowers along the highway that I travel to work. There is one special blue {#blank#}1{#/blank#}that has always caught my eyes. Every day for two weeks.

    I see the beautiful flowers.

    This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can {#blank#}2{#/blank#}out of the kitchen window while doing the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers along the highway would look great in my wildflower {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'll stop on my way home and dig {#blank#}5{#/blank#}But I didn't want to get my clean clothes dirty... "I never {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to dig them One day on my way home from work, I was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to see the highway workers had cut off the pretty blue flowers. I thought to myself, "You waited too {#blank#}8{#/blank#}You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.

    A week ago we were sad to learn that my oldest sister {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a cancer, She is 20 years older than me, and because of being far away, we {#blank#}10{#/blank#}ever visited her, I thought about the pretty blue flowers and then about my sister, I won't miss the time I can spend staying with her.

Dear basketball,

    When I rolled(使成球形)my dad's socks as a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, I knew one thing was real: I fell in love with you. The love was so deep that I gave you my all {#blank#}2{#/blank#} my body to my soul(灵魂).

    As a six-year-old boy, I loved you deeply. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} stopped loving you. I only saw myself running for you every court(场)all the time. You needed my effort, I tried my {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, because it asked for so much more. I played through me sweat(汗水)and the hurt, not because the challenge called me, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} because you called me. I did everything for you, became you made me feel alive.

    You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker(湖人)dream, and I will always love you for it. But now I can't love you any {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. This season is the last one for me. My {#blank#}7{#/blank#} can still best, my spirit can also fight, but my body' knows it's time to say, goodbye. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of us accept it. And it's OK. I'm ready, to let you go.

    I want you to know now, then we can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} each other every moment we have left together.

    The good and the bad, we have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} one another all that we have. And we also know, whatever I do next, I will always be that kid with a basketball in my hands.

    Love you always.

Kobe

    I often argue(争论)with my mum when I grow older. She tries her best to make my lift easier and she does{#blank#}1{#/blank#}things for me. Although I know my mum loves me. I don't think she understands me{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. She likes making every decision instead of me. She even chooses the clothes I wear. I am not given a chance to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}anything! I think it's important to be independent(独立的)and make {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I want control my lite {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I am puzzled(困惑的)and have no idea what I should do.
