Once upon a time, many animals lived in a forest. There was plenty of food for animals to eat and water to drink there. But there was no rain for a whole 1, so the grass dried up and many animals that ate grass died, and there was no enough food for animals who fed on other animals to eat. The animals in the forest began to find it 2 to get food. They were very hungry.

    One day, a wolf met a bear and a jackal in the forest. They had a talk and they thought it would be 3 to join hands with a lion and look for food together.

    They found a lion and told him the thought. The lion 4. The four of them began to hunt.

    The hunting team came across a buffalo. The 5 and the jackal ran after the buffalo. The bear stopped the buffalo. The lion 6 him.

    The jackal planned to share the buffalo among them, so he 7 the buffalo into four parts. However, when they were about to take their own part, the lion roared and said, "Well, friends, the first part is 8 for my leadership. The second part is mine, for I killed the buffalo. The third part is also mine for I need it for my babies. Anyone who needs a part can take the 9. But before that, you will have to win me."

    All the three 10 the place with anger but without any word.

    From this story, we know that if you are powerful, you are right.

    Hello, my friends! I'm back from my vacation. I went to a 1 with my parents. We 2 two weeks there. We lived in a hotel. Our room faced (面向) the sea, so we could see the sea at 3 time of day! There was a shopping street and many restaurants around. We bought many things and enjoyed lots of seafood (海味). I 4 something special for all of you.

    The 5 in the hotel were nice. They always answered our questions 6 a smile (微笑). They were very friendly. We had many kinds of food and drinks for 7. They were 8, so I ate a lot every morning. The Happy Hour was waiting for us after we 9 from the beach! Everything was perfect (完美的). 10 I go to the beach next time, I will stay at that hotel again!

Last year, we took a trip to New York City. When we 1 our hotel, it was around 1 a.m. My son Joseph looked out at the lights of Times Square and said he wanted to go 2 . I told him it was too 3 to go out, but he kept looking out of the window and said, "Just for two minutes." 

My wife and I just looked at each other, 4 and said "Two minutes". We got 5 and walked to the center of Times Square. When we got there, my son pointed at the lights and said "Dad, look!" and then started to fall asleep.

It took us 20 minutes to 6 the 20 seconds we spent outside, but it made our son happy and that meant a lot to us. That night, I learned a lesson about 7 . We sometimes can have happy moments (时刻) in our lives, 8 we often find an excuse to do something else. 

Because of my son, I learned that I am the 9 enemy (敌人) to my own happiness. Happiness is a door that is always 10 . However, we are the ones who have to decide if we are going to walk through the door.

"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回响). It was just standing there, with Dad standing on one side, and I on the other side. 

We were both in great anger. "Jack! Never set foot in this house again!" shouted Dad. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. 

The street lights were shining, causing my feeling of sadness. I walked about, knowing nowhere to go. 

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree(无忧无虑的). 

But now… I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting older. We are just like two persons coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron(铁) door between us that can never be opened. I walked in the streets with a heavy heart. I walked on, and there were fewer and fewer people in the streets. When I finally reached the apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. 

I thought to myself, "Is Dad waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"

In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. 

All the lights were off except Dad's. 

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. However, after an argument he has the habit of putting my arms underneath the quilt (被子) while I am sleeping. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature. 

The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realised that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love — it is second to none.
