Ever since I was a child, my mouth has caused me trouble. I'm not a bad person; I have a 1 time learning when to keep my mouth closed.

    My mom has told me again and again, "Robert, your constant bad words are hurting me. If you 2 to be this rude, you will get into big trouble."

    It's been a problem at school several times too when teachers have told me something I didn't want to hear. I used to feel it was my duty(职责) to 3 myself.

    One day in English class I began working on my homework until I heard a classmate 4 behind me. It was Nathaniel, who liked doing that as usual.

    At first, I said very 5, "Nathaniel, would you please be quiet?"

    However, Nathaniel continued talking to himself. I quickly 6 "Nathaniel, shut up(闭嘴)!"

    For the next five minutes, we threw hurtful(伤感情的) words back and forth at each other.

    "At least I don't have an ugly lazy eye like you!" I shouted.

    I knew this would make him 7. It would hurt his feelings and shut him up.

    What I said filled him with anger. He tried to 8 over my seat and catch me as he shouted, "That's it! That's it!"

    9 at his reaction(反应), I sat back in my seat. I had never seen Nathaniel act like this before.

    Later on, we were taken to the principal's office. There, Mr. Black, our English teacher, told us to 10 the matter. It wasn't until then that I finally found that 11 I hurt someone physically(身体上), the wounds eventually heal(愈合). But when I hurt them with my 12, sometimes the pain (痛苦) never goes away.

    At the end of the discussion, I said 13 to Nathaniel.

    When I went back to my room, I spent some time praying(祈祷). I began to 14 how often what I said hurt others. But I believe that as I keep praying and asking God to help me, he'll tell me when to keep my 15 closed.

What do you think of your father? Maybe we have 1 ideas. As for me, my father always 2 me and stands by my side. He is the "VIP (very important person)" in my life. Now I want to 3 some stories between us.

When I was a kid, my father was often 4 . I spent a lot of time 5 my grandmother. At that time I could really be called a naughty (顽皮的) girl and often couldn't control (控制) 6 . I didn't know 7 my father couldn't stay at home and play with me like other children's fathers.

As time went by, I studied in a boarding (寄宿) school. One day I told my father 8 the phone that I missed my mother's 9 very much. To my surprise, when I was preparing to go to bed, one of my roommates told me that 10 was calling me. I ran out and saw that my father was there, outside of the gate of the dormitory, with a 11 box in his hand. I went 12 to him and he gave me that lunch box. He was tired by the long trip. Without 13 anything, he went away. Back to the dormitory I couldn't help 14 .

I just want to tell you that the 15 from your father may come in its own way and I really love my father.

Once upon a time, two friends Tom and Mike went for a walk in the forest. On their way home, they got{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

At first, Tom listened to Mike, but {#blank#}7{#/blank#} an hour, he didn't want to wait any more. He entered the house. Mike ran into the house fast and saw{#blank#}8{#/blank#} old man. The man said, "I know you're hungry, but I have only a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of noodles." Mike said, "Please let my friend have it." When Tom finished the noodles, the man gave a gold basket to Mike. He said "I give it to you {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you are polite and kind."

Then, the man disappeared(消失).
