In a small town, a shopkeeper works hard every day. But one day he closed his shop in the

He thought the man played a trick on him. He did not answer it and went 4 to bed. A few minutes 5 the telephone rang again. He 6 and went to pick up the phone and found that voice (声音) was the 7 man and he asked the same question. The shopkeeper 8 answered. “You needn't ask me that because I can't let you 9 my shop. It's late now.”

    “No. I want to go out.” the man said, “My wife 10 me at home for dinner now.”

    Mr. Read works in a big shop. He's very 1 and always gets to the office on time. The 2 is satisfied with (对……满意) him and pays him more. One evening he was very tired, and as soon as he had 3, he put his watch on the table and went to bed. Little Mable, one of his daughters, came in and 4 something there. She dropped the watch to the floor. She picked it up and 5 quickly. The next morning he got up on time. After breakfast he had a look at his watch and began to 6 newspapers. When he got to his office, it was half past eight. He was 7 for the first time! At that moment he found something was wrong with his watch. He had to ask someone to 8 it.

This morning Mr. Read was going to take a train to London. But he 9 it because his watch was slow again. He was very surprised and said, "It was all right yesterday, but why is it 10 now?"

    "Last night I found it was dirty," said Little Mable. "I had to wash it for you!"

    There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole. One day, the young mouse looked out of the hole, a nice smell came to his1. "Cheese!" the mouse said happily to2. "I'll have it for breakfast." But he remember his3words," Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese." So the young mouse waited4. Then he heard a quiet "meow" and he knew the cat was there. "I'm glad that I listen to my parents and learned to5." he said.

    The next morning, the nice smell came to his nose again. This time he did not hear any cat's noises,6very quiet "woof, woof". "It's a dog!" he thought. "If the dog is there, the cat won't be there. So I'm7." Then the mouse ran out of the hole and started8the cheese. He didn't see the cat9the cat caught him. When the cat finished the10, he said to himself, "I'm glad that I listened to my parents and learned a second language."

It was a Sunday morning. Lori was busy writing in her book. Marilyn was drinking coffee and I was reading a newspaper. Suddenly, Lori 1  and asked, "Why are there more pictures of Lisa than there are of 2  ?"Lisa is our older daughter.

I stared back, not understanding the 3 . Lori left the room . I looked at Marily,"Are there more pictures of Lisa than of Lori?"

"I've never 4  them. I don't know,"replied Mrilyn.

" But 5  would Lori ask such a question?" I asked. After a few minutes of thought, Marilyn said,"In my memory(记忆),you were taking photos when Lisa was born.

You hardly went 6  without a camera. When Lori was born, videos became 7  . You used a video camera to record nearly everything in our lives. There must be hundreds of videos of Lori in the computer that Lori has8 seen or doesn't remember."

Later that night, when we were alone, I turned on the computer and found the 9  of Lori.

"What are you going to do?" Marilyn asked.

"Her birthday is coming," I said. "Let's make an album for her as a gift. I don't know if the album will answer her question, 10  at least she'll know that we care enough to find her an answer."

Over the next few days, we secretly went through all the videos. We selected (挑选) some 11 . Marilyn had them made into photos. When the photos were returned, we placed them' into an album.

When we looked at the album, all the 12  memories came back. We hoped it showed how 13  she was to us.

On th June, when passing Lori's room to leave for work, I opened the door and slipped the album inside. Attached to it was a birthday card with a note 14  why her mother and I had put the album together.

It was about eight o'clock when my office telephone rang. I picked up the receiver. A tiny voice spoke,"I love you, Daddy,"she said and disconnected. I knew our 15  had been received.

A mother went home after a long day's hard work. Her 8-year-old daughter ran up to her. She was waiting for her mother and wanted to tell her something about her younger brother. 

"While I was painting a picture and Dad was on the phone, Tyler took his crayons and wrote on the wall! I told him you would be angry with him for doing it again, but I couldn't stop him,"the daughter said. 

"He did it again? Where is your little brother now?"

"He is in his room. "

The mother walked to her younger son's room. She called his full name as she came in. Then, she found Tyler trying to hide under the bed. He knew that the worst time was coming. For the next 10 minutes, the room was full of the sound of the mother's shouting about the expensive wallpaper. 

Then she went to the living room to see what was on the wall. As she saw the wall, her eyes were full of tears at once. It said"I love you, Mum" with a heart on the word"love". 

In the seventh grade when my mother told me that I should join the golf team, I thought she was crazy. But as usual, my mother1 in the end. I played in the2 team in the seventh and eighth grade. Then, I became more and more interested in golf. 

The summer 3 high school came, I strongly wanted to join the golf team in high school. So, I spent nearly every weekend on the golf course （场地）4 that summer . This 5 relationship（关系） with my parents lasted for all my high school years. My parents thought that it was 6 the hours we spent together on the golf course, we became closer. 

It was clear to find7 is important in life when I walked around the golf course and looking up at the beautiful blue sky. My mom and I discussed my 8 about golf in the middle of the match. We 9 the future of our family. We shared such things as we would 10 do at home, where she is Mom and I am an annoying（烦人的） boy. On the golf course11 golf. 

Golfing becomes a part of my12 . In summer, I'm always on the golf course. There is 13 I love more than a perfect autumn morning, riding around in a golf cart（球车） with my dad. Golf makes me into the man I am today. Thanks to my mom14 that golf team. She was15 as usual.
