Yesterday is 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 1mood．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, Beck? It's a beautiful day.”

    “No! Leave me alone!” Those were the 3words I said to him that morning.

    My friends called and4me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be 5with them and then went with them. When I came home, I found a6on 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 he was badly hurt．“Your father told the driver to leave8alone 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 9those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to10himself. He didn't want to be hurt more．How much had I hurt him 11I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he could12have 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 about 13I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

    He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember 14about 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 to15our words. I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

    I joined a club called "Passing Help" last month. Now let me tell you 1 I joined it.

    One2 this February, my old car broke down on my way home. It was far away from my home. I wanted to get a ride in somebody else's car, but it was dark and there was no car. It was also 3 to take a taxi. I decided to take a bus home. I went to a bus stop nearby.

    After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She was 4 and she told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about half an hour, but no bus came. 5 a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver.

    "When I reached the bus station, I 6 to know that there was no bus to your town at this late hour, so I returned here. I just can't 7 you here," she said. "Get in my car and I will take you back to your home."

    "It is a long way, "I said.

    "8^, sir, "she said. "Let's go."

    On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, her car ran out of gas(汽油). An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her9^.

    When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn't 10 it. "I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along," she said.

    There was something wrong1 Mrs Black's skin(皮肤), so she went to her doctor. But he could not find anything wrong. So he sent her to the hospital for tests.

Because any of them may5the cause(病因)of her skin trouble.

    Mrs Black wrote all the things down on a piece of paper, 6she put it near the telephone. After that, she went to a meeting.

    When she got back home two hours later, her husband was waiting for her. He had a big basket full of the things, and7he saw her, he said, "Hello, dear, I bought all of the things8you.''

    "But9did you know what I needed?" she asked.

    "Well. When I got home. I saw your shopping list near the telephone." answered her husband. "so I went to the shops and bought everything you needed. ''

    "Oh, no, those things can make me feel10."
