My father enjoys bike riding. Ever since I was little, I have always loved going biking with my dad.1, as I became a teenager, other things began to draw my 2 . It became important to do things with friends3 I saw my dad every evening at home. Why did I have to 4 my Sundays to all-day bike trips with him, too? If my indifference(冷漠的) hurt him, my father kept5, but he would always let me know when he was planning a bike trip6I wanted to come with him.

    It was a Sunday morning, and I was in low 7. Two of my friends had gone to the movies without inviting me. Just then my father8my room.“It is a beautiful day. Want to go for a 9, today, Beck?” “Leave me alone!” I impatiently10. Those were the last words I said to him before he left the house that 11.

    Several hours later, the police called us, informing(告知) us that Dad had a traffic 12. My father's injuries were serious. It 13 several days before he could eventually(最后) speak. Beside his bed，I held his hand gently，14 of hurting him. “Daddy… I am sorry…” “ It's okay, my dear, I'll be okay.”

     “No,” I said, “I 15 what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

     “My dear, I don't 16anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you good night the night before, though.” He 17 a weak smile.

    I felt regretful for my thoughtless remark(话语)，for I 18wanted him to leave me alone in my heart. My teacher once told me that 19 have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the 20 to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.

    Until a few years ago, I had what most people would call a good life. I had a 1job that paid the bills; I had a good family that I was close to, and I had a place to live and money in the bank for trips and 2, and there was nothing much wrong in my life.3, I was bored.

    I wanted 4. I wanted to live brightly and loudly and make sharp memories instead of the 5 ones of everyday life. But I was 6. I've never had any7in myself. As a child, even buying something in a shop caused me a great deal of 8, and even though I did get better as I got older, I never really9 that childhood shyness.

    And I tried everything, like reading books about confidence. I took tiny steps leading to my goals. But none of them really10.

    So I 11 that the small steps weren't enough. I signed up for an internship（实习期）teaching English in Vietnam, an12 huge step, one that13 me as much as it excited me. And then the day came and I left my home and my loved one. I was alone in a country where the food was14 and the streets were dirty. I had no idea whether I would be able to 15everything this very strange environment would16 at me.

    I spent five months in Vietnam, teaching and exploring and laughing. I'd learned to 17 myself, my skills, my abilities and my decisions. I returned home 18, even to myself, let alone to others. The19 that had controlled my life and the self-doubt completely20.

    That one big chance changed everything for me, and in me.

    Carl Kenton is a wealthy businessman. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 1 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his 2 expensive “school” fee. He always owes his success to it.

    At that time, Glen, who already got a PhD degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before 3 , he bought a Rolex watch with the 4 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be 5 down for inspection. Glen knew that carrying the 6 goods out had to pay the tax and he worried about paying 7 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 8 fake (假货). When he was 9 of his “smarts”, immediately, 10 the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which 11 nearly 100,000, into pieces at hearing Glen's words. Glen was 12. Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 13. For many times of entry-exit 14, he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box and 15 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 16 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be charged according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after 17 the plane for long.

    After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 18 on him because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 19, which he would 20 as the secret of his success forever.

    Last summer, I began the biggest adventure of my life. I moved from a tiny city in England to one of the 1 cities in the world.

    As the plane 2 in Beijing, one of the first things I did was to 3 one of the city's hutong. Walking around the 4 street, the warm air was filled with the 5 of delicious food as people played mahjong and 6 their old­fashioned bikes. This was the first moment I 7, "Wow, I'm in China."

    Beijing couldn't be more 8 to my home city, Preston, which 9 a population of just 114,000. It has one 10 street that's around 500 meters from one end to the 11, on Sunday, all the shops 12 at 4：00 pm. There isn't a great deal of 13 when it comes to restaurants, either, and as a 14 of food, I couldn't wait to see what Beijing has to15. I still don't have a favorite dish here yet-I'm still happily working my way through the city's countless 16 to try to figure that out.

    I'm slowly getting used 17 the fast­paced lifestyle and different 18 of life. In the future, I hope to buy a motorbike and 19 from one end to the other of this beautiful city, taking photos and 20 new people along the way.

All students have bad times. What do they usually do when they get into trouble?

My mom is like my friend. I talk about everything to her. Whenever I have some trouble, I can get good advice from her. I have another good friend — my diary. It knows all my secrets. Talking with my two friends always makes me feel better. 

 —— Linda

Laughing helps me when I'm upset. I usually watch funny movies and TV shows. I also love spending my hard time with my best friend Dave. He is humorous and always makes me laugh. 

 —— Peter

Every time I feel bad, I go climbing alone. The study says exercising can help cheer one up (精神振奋). And the beautiful view at the top of the mountain makes me forget all my troubles. Sometimes I shout at the mountain top. It feels fantastic.
