It was Mother's Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my five-year-old son,Tenyson.As we were1,we realized that only minutes earlier an2woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground3was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock4,a lot of people stopped to help out.5we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very6about what had happened to the elderly couple. He7to me,“Mom, it's not much fun falling over in front of8”Seeing that there was a flower stall(摊位)at the front of the supermarket, he added, “Why shouldn't we9the lady a flower?

    By now medical staff had arrived, and were15the injured woman. We gave the flower to the woman's husband and I told him it was16my son. At that, the old man started crying and said,“Thank you very much.”He then turned to me,“You have a17son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”

    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.

“Who can ever have imagined someone like me would make it this far?” asked Chad Wood last week during his high school graduation speech as the best student. Chad offered1to his fellow classmates to never give up—and the words2much more to himself. That's because Chad is deaf, and he told the story of the serious troubles he3to graduate first in his class at Harrison High school in Kennesaw, Georgia.

    Chad didn't start to4until he was 5, according to his mother, Pam Wood. Although her son was5a disadvantage, she was determined not to treat him6. “I've expected him to do everything every other kid does, and I saw no7why he couldn't,” she told ABC News. “And if he8the first time, we just tried again.”

    Chad, 17, worked hard throughout school,9no special treatment but sitting at the front of the class and using a special audio system so he could hear the teacher. All his hard work10. He received full school fare to Vanderbilt University. “Deafness had taught me a lesson to never11,” he said in the speech. “Not when the experts tell you it cannot be done. Not when you have12so far behind that escaping seems the only way 13. Not when achieving your dreams seems an entire14.”

    Chad spoke for about four minutes, after which he received a standing applause from the class and15messages from family, friends and strangers. “They've been sending me messages on Facebook, email, they've been talking to me in person telling me how it had a16on their lives and how they're really17by it,” Chad told ABC News. “It feels18. Seeing that my words19have a power on someone and that they want to work harder because of my words makes me feel20.”

When I was a kid, my family didn't live a rich life. As a result, we couldn't 1 to eat out in a restaurant. My mother 2 cooked in the evening after she returned home from work.

One day, my mother had a very3 day in the office and was exhausted. After work, she went into the kitchen and started preparing supper for us. When she was frying some eggs, she 4 to concentrate on her cooking and the eggs burned. She wanted to throw them away, but eggs were 5 for a family like mine back then. So she placed them in a plate and6to eat them herself.

After the eggs were put on the table, my father looked at them for a while. But he said 7. He just smiled at my mom and then asked me how my 8 was at school. Then he started eating the eggs. He finished them 9 so that my mother and I wouldn't have to eat them.

Later that night, I heard my mom 10 to my dad for burning the eggs. And I'll never 11 what he said, "Honey, I love burned eggs."

The next day, I asked Dad 12 he really liked burned eggs. He held me in his arms and said, "Your mom had a 13 day at work yesterday and she was really tired. I didn't want to 14 her. Besides, a little bit burned egg won't hurt anyone."

My father was a very 15 man, and I learned to be such a man from him.
