阅读理解。

    One day a man came home from work late, he was very tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

    “Daddy, Can you tell me how much money do you make an hour?”

    “If you must know, I can tell you that I make 20 dollars an hour.”

    “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me 10 dollars?”

    The father was furious and shouted , “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, then go straight to your room and think about why you are being so selfish(自私的)!”

    The little boy quietly went to his room and closed the door. After about an hour, the father calmed down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn't really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy's room.

    “Sorry! Maybe I was too rude on you just now.” said the man, “Here's 10 dollars. You can buy something that you need”

    “Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.

    “Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.

One hot summer day, I bought a small boat when my family spent vacation enjoying the beaches of beautiful Gulf shores(岸). Both of my daughters played {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(happy) all day in the boat. Later the little one got tired. So I took her to our tent on the sand as my elder girl still played in the boat. But{#blank#}2{#/blank#}boat my elder daughter in was gradually moving far out from the shore. I called to her to come closer to the shore and she seemed to be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (worry) and afraid. All she could do was to paddle(用桨划船) hard to one side, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the boat was just making small circles.

I stood as far out in the water and kept {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(shout) instructions to her. Luckily, some{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(visitor) in a boat not far from her noticed and started to help her immediately.

I'm not a good swimmer but I decided to have a try. I didn't stop swimming until I couldn't feel {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(I) moving. But I always kept my eyes on her.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the help of these kind people, I finally made my way back pulling her and calming her.

So far, I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(learn) through the experience that maybe we think we are not strong enough sometimes, but{#blank#}10{#/blank#}we trust ourselves and take the first step, we'll have all the power we need.

When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs(细枝) from school to plant. None of them looked very strong and lively. But with hope for the future, I planted them somewhere in our backyard which could give them enough sunlight. Over the years, because of the poor soil(土壤), three of them died. Only one lived at last.

It grew crooked(不直的) and very slowly. In fact, it looked more like a fat bush than a tree. Later, I noticed that it was starting to die. The branches(树枝) were becoming bare. Only the top third of the tree was still green. I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer, but it didn't work.

Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was thinking if it would be better to just cut it down. It would make the yard look cleaner. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a bird patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home.

This tree let me know that all of our lives have a purpose. It doesn't matter if we are young and strong or old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.
