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.

    A traveler was in a large desert, planning to walk across it in one month. Twenty more days passed the journey had been going on1. "Soon I'll be able to walk out of this desert," he thought gladly.

    But the desert was never friendly2travelers. In a short time, there came a strong sandstorm. He hurriedly3his head with the clothes, prostrate on the sand. After about ten minutes, the sandstorm4. He shook the clothes and stood up. At that moment, he found himself in a hopeless situation-the backpack with food and water was swept away by the5.

    As we know, it seems 6 to leave the desert without food and water.7, he had a pear left. He held it in his hands tightly. "Not too bad, at least I have a pear. I8I can walk out of the desert."

    Days and nights went by quickly, but the desert still looked endless. Besides, hunger, thirst and fear of9were always around him like ghosts,10, each time he was close to losing hope, he forced himself to stare at the pear that he had been11. "Not too had, at least I have a pear."

    A small pear became the12for his survival(生存). Three days later,13he saw a village not far away, he laughed with excitement. He felt completely relaxed-the "pear" brought him back to14.

    To keep hope is the best weapon(武器) for victory, so never tell you "15" because only if you try to search, you can always find a "pear" to pull you out of trouble.

    It was the golden season. I could see the 1 leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a season to achieve something, but for me, it is a(n) 2 season. I was 3 for the mid-term exam, and so many unhappy things made me so tired. So I decided to have a walk along the road in the park.

    "Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get me4 ", I thought when the sound of a guitar came into my ears, like a bird singing beautifully. A young girl, sitting on the grass, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl, 5 when the wind blew her long hair. I had never seen her before. The music was so wonderful that I listened quietly.

    Lost in the music, I did not 6 that I had listened to it for so long. But I did not seem to trouble her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the grassland, I would see her playing her guitar. She was the only 7 and I was the only listener. During the rest of the days in the season, life became 8 and I could go over the lessons carefully.

    Autumn was 9 over. One day, when I was listening, the sound suddenly stopped. To my surprise, the girl came over to me.

    "You 10 like the music," she said.

    "Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked.

    Suddenly, a 11 expression appeared on her face.

    "I came here just to have a rest because I 12 in an important exam. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that 13me," she said, "and I have to go tomorrow."

    "In fact, it was your playing that gave me a 14 autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass my exams." I answered, "I think it was God who gave us the 15 to know each other and we should be good friends."

    She smiled and I smiled in that beautiful autumn.

    Last year, I went to a summer camp in the United States with my classmates. It was my first time to go abroad.

    I lived with a host family in Los Angeles for five days. My host family was friendly and gave me lots of advice. For example, they said I should say "excuse me" if I have to interrupt (打断) someone or ask for directions.

    I also took some classes. They were different from the classes I had had back home. In the US, each class is like a seminar. Students join groups, speaking freely and creating a cheerful atmosphere (氛围). I had to work hard to learn more vocabularies, so I could better communicate with my international classmates. I used to pay little attention to my word usage (使用), but now I pay more attention.

    During my visit, I also went to some famous universities in Boston, New York and Washington, D. C. We learned about the history behind the universities. At MIT (麻省理工学院), we saw lots of names on a wall in the hall. The tour guide told us they were the names of students who had lost their lives during wars. I was inspired (鼓舞) by the fact that they fought for their country.
