    Yesterday was Father's Day. Many things happening between my father and me crowded my mind. But one thing made a deep impression on me.

    It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a 1 mood (情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me.I was in my room2ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “ Want to go for a ride today,Berk? It's a beautiful day.”

    “No! Leave me alone!”Those were the 3words I said to him that morning.

    My friends called and 4 me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be5with them and then went with them.When I came home，I found a6 on the table.My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “ Dad has had an 7 Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”

    When I reached the hospital ,my mother came out and told me a car hit my father and his injuries were extensive(大曲积的). “Your father told the driver to leave8 alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, ….”

    My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear. I didn't hear anything 9 those terrible words： Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to10 himself. He didn't want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him 11 I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he was12 able to have a talk.I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

    “ Daddy... I am so sorry...''

    “It's okay, sweetheart. I'll be okay.”

     “No,” I said, “I mean about13 I said to you that day.You know, that morning?"

    He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember14 about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember telling you goodnight the night before，though." He managed a weak smile.

    My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal(治愈）.And we all have the power to 15 our words.I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

    Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl who lived with her father in the forest. One day, a lion came to their house and told the father to let the girl 1 him. The father and the girl were very 2 of the lion. He knew that if his daughter did not get married to the lion, the lion would be very angry and kill them 3. So he had to find a way of 4  the lion.

    After thinking a lot, he said to the lion, "I will be 5 to marry my daughter to you, but she is very afraid of your teeth and claws. If you let me take 6 all out, you can marry her. I am sure my daughter will then make a good 7."

    "No problem!" The lion said. He could  8 think of how much he loved the girl and wanted her to be his wife. So he let the father take out all his teeth and claws. As soon as the lion was toothless and clawless, the father began hitting him 9 a heavy stick. The lion could not defend himself 10 he had no teeth, or claws. Finally, he ran away. He was also unable to kill animals for food. So he soon died.

    One day a lion met a spider, who was just busy making a web. The lion 1 for a while and said, "How clever you are! How did you learn to do that?" The spider answered proudly, "I learned it from my mother."

    The lion watched a longer while. Then he asked the spider, "But why don't you catch your food in the way that I do?"

    "I am just a 2 animal," the spider replied. "I cannot run fast or fly. 3 with my web I can catch flying insects, and I don't even have to run after them."

    The lion then asked, "Could you make a 4 for me? Then I would not have to run after animals either."

    "Sorry," the spider said. "My web can only catch flying insects. But you cannot love 5 them."

    The lion was angry with the spider. She did not have to work 6 for food. And she would not help him get his 7. So he hit the web and broke it. But the spider jumped 8 the lion's back and bit him.

    "Now you will 9 me," said the spider as she jumped into the grass. "Think carefully 10 you do something bad to other animals. Some of us may be small, but we are very smart."

    The lion tried to scratch his back, but he could not reach where the spider bit. It itched(发痒)for several days. He remembered the smart spider for a long time.

    My friends and I joined a two-day survival training course in the mountains. The first day was really 1 there was so much to do! Arriving at the campsite, We were divided into group and given a tent, some food, a2 and a compass, Sunning next to a small river, Fanny 3 camping in the grassy area nearby. However, our instructor, Mr. Lee, pointed out that it might flood if it rained. In the end, we found a higher area. Putting up the tent was very hard. Luckily Mr. Lee helped us a lot.

    By the time we had put up the tent, everyone was really hungry." We wouldn't have got this hungry if we had brought some snacks, "Peter said. We all told him to4 complaining and help us start a fire to cook our food 5. Realizing we were having trouble making the fire, he finally6.

    The next day started early, Woken by a strange noise, Peter went to see what was happening." some cows have eaten our breakfast! " he shouted.

    "That's all because you didn't 7 the food properly last night," said Mr. Lee.

    Worried that Mr. Lee was angry with us, we tried very hard on our next task-using the map and compass to find a secret location. We made it to the location8 the other groups did. We all felt very proud of 9.

    The survival training course was a great 10.Now I feel I could survive anywhere!
