My father often works very hard. And he has1to see a movies. Here I'll tell you2about him.

    One afternoon, when he finished his work and3go home, he found a film ticket under the4on his desk. He thought he5to have not much work to do that day and6was quite wonderful to pass the7at the cinema. So he came back home and8finished his supper. Then he said9to us and left.But to our10, he came back about half an hour later, I11him what was the matter. He smiled and told us about12funny thing that had happened at the cinema.When my father was sitting in his seat, a 13came to my father's and said that the seat was14. My father was surprised. He took out the ticket15looked at it carefully. It was Row17,16. And then he looked at the seat. It was the same. So he asked her17her ticket. She took out the ticket at once and the seat shown in it was Row 17, Seat 3. 

    18? What's the matter with all this? While they were wondering(想知道), suddenly the woman said, “The19of the tickets are different.” So they looked at the ticket more carefully. After a while, my father said, “Oh,20, I made a mistake. My ticket is for the film a month ago. Take this seat, please.” With these words, he left the cinema.

    On Sunday I had my own Father's Day celebration. Suddenly I 1 about my dad a lot. My dad is 2 the kindest man in the world. He would never 3 anyone in trouble.

    Every Thursday night, my dad would 4 Shreveport, to a church there. I always drove the car for him.

    Although this happened many times, I 5 one incident on one of those trips to Shreveport. That time on the 6 , my dad saw a hitchhiker (搭便车的人 ). Dad asked me to pull the car over and offer him a 7. Dad asked him his name and address, told him ours, and talked to him about all sorts of things.

    At first the hitchhiker was hesitant (迟疑的 ), but he changed his 8 as he could tell we were really listening to him. I did know that it was quite 9 outside and the hitchhiker was very happy to be able to get a lift in our warm car.

    We 10 another forty-five minutes and learned that the hitchhiker was 11 many difficulties in life. Dad told him to keep his head up and said that 12 would become better for him soon. He 13 into his pocket and handed the hitchhiker a twenty-dollar bill, leaving only a ten-dollar bill for himself. The hitchhiker then became very 14 .

    I was always told never to 15 a hitchhiker and yet my dad did it every time he saw one. Dad always gave them money 16 he did not have much of his own.

    From that I've learned a lot about my dad and 17 . I've learned that if you come from a place with 18 , you will show a lot of kindness to people who are 19 . Just one single kind act may 20 someone's life.

    Dad had a green comb. He bought it when he married Mum. Every night，he would hand me his 1 and say, “Good girl, help Daddy clean it, OK?”

    I was 2 to do it. At age five, this dull task brought me such 3. I would excitedly turn the tap4and brush the comb carefully. Satisfied that I'd done a good job, I would happily return the comb to Dad. He would5affectionately(深情地）at me and place the comb in his wallet.

    Two years latter，Dad started his own 6which wasn't so good . Things started to 7, Dad didn't come home as early and as he used to. Mum and I became8with him for placing our family in trouble. With 9going on，an uncomfortable silence grew between us.

    After my graduation, Dad's business was getting back . On my 28th birthday, Dad came home10. As usually I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said，“Hey，would you help me 11 my comb?” I looked at him a while，then 12 the comb and headed to the sink.

It hit me then: why, as a child,13dad clean his comb was such a pleasure. That routine(习惯）meant dad was home early to 14 the evening with Mum and me. It15 a happy and loving family.

    I passed the clean comb back to Dad, He smiled at me and16 placed his comb in his wallet. But this time，I noticed something 17 Dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled,18 his smile was still as 19as before, the smile of a father who just wanted a good 20 for his family.

    Most of us probably have a few hours a week that we can devote to our hobby. What if you could change your hobby into a(n) 1?

    They say if you find a job you love, you will never 2 a day in your life. But this old 3 is a little too simple for Peter, CEO of Fossil Realm. Peter's hobby of fossil (化石) 4 began in high school. His parents worked at the Royal Ontario Museum, so he inherited (遗传)an interest in natural history. Peter remembers 5 his pocket money at 13 to 6 a mineral trade show in Detroit where he 7 a few fossils with the remaining money. Returning home, he 8 to sell all the fossils he collected for money.

    This is the first small 9 leading to more trips south. Later Peter began selling his fossils online. The 10 remained by work(业余工作)to fund him 11 college. By graduation, he had opened his own e-business 12 . Running Fossil Realm is really his passionate(热爱的) and rewarding business: 13 , he says, "Though your 14 what you love, that doesn't mean it'll 15 easily nor will it necessarily be 16 or satisfying. So you need to work hard." His Fossil Realm has 17 to include many museum-quality finds. But the root of his growing business is the passion of Peter, who has 18 lost the love of fossils from the 19. Having passion will surely push us to 20 something we love and change that passion into action.

    Over the last 15 years, as a doctor, I have had heart-to-heart conversations with countless patients near the end of their lives. The most common emotion they express is 1. And that's 2 I came up with a project to encourage people to write a 3 to their loved ones. It's a lesson I learned years ago from a memorable 4 patient.

    He was a retired 5 with a cancer. Every day, his 6 spent many hours watching him watch television. She explained to me he had never been much of a 7 in their 50-plus years of marriage. But he seemed quite 8 to share his ideas with me, 9 when it became clear his days were 10. He spoke of his deep regret for not having spent enough time with his wife, and of his great 11 in his son, who had joined the Navy in his father's footsteps.

    One afternoon, when I mentioned these 12 to his wife and son, they looked disbelievingly at each other. They thanked me for being so kind but 13 my patient was unlikely to express such feelings. To make sure his family could hear his 14, I took my video camera with me the next morning and with the patients' 15, recorded an open letter from him to his family. When I gave them the 16 letter, both his wife and son were moved to tears.

    The experience 17 my letter project, which can help people complete their life review tasks: remembering to those we may have hurt; 18 those who have hurt us and saying "I love you". It may take much courage to write a life review letter. For some people, it 19 deep and troubling emotions. 20 it may be the most important letter you will ever write.

    On March 25, 2010, Kate and David heard the words every parent dreads: Their newborn wasn't going to make it. Their twins- a girl and a boy- were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had 1 to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no 2. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.

    "I saw him gasp(喘息), but the doctor said it was no 3 ," Kate told the Daily Mail. "I know it sounds 4 , but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of 5 . I wasn't going to give up easily."  6 , the couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to 7 her last minute with the 8 boy, Kate asked to hold him.

    Kate 9 the boy from his hospital blanket and ordered David to 10 his shirt and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as 11 as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would   12 his condition. "We were trying to make him 13 ." Kate said. "We explained his name and that he had a 14 that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to help him."

    A 15 showed itself eventually, Jamie gasped again-and then he started 16 . "We were the 17 people in the world," David told today.

    Now, the twins are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their 18 . "Emily burst into 19." Kate said. "She was really upset, and she kept 20 Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more."
