My father is an office worker. He works nine to five like most of my classmates' fathers. Like most other fathers, he cares a lot about his children. He cares about my health and how I am doing in school. He never 1 any parents' meetings in my school, and he shows up at my school sports day for me. Yes, my father is an ordinary(普通的)father just like the others' fathers.

    But2 most of the others' fathers, my father does a very different and special thing when he is not at work. My father is a 3 in a local hospital. He helps to take care of the sick people. He is happy to speak with them, listen to them, and 4read newspapers for them. Sometimes, he will take me with him, and when I'm there, I see that all the patients, doctors and nurses like my father very much. They always 5 and say hi when they meet him, and some of the 6 patients even run to him for a hug. This shows how 7 he is in the hospital.

    Besides helping in the hospital, my father also encourages us to take part in community services with him 8 he believes that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those 9 more. And he always tells us, "To make 10 happier, you should help others."

    I am glad to have a father who's willing to give and help. I am proud of my father.

It rained1, and rain poured down, the girl's father worried that his daughter would be scared because of flashes of lightning. So he drove to his daughter's school in a hurry. To his surprise, he saw her2alone in the rain. When a flash of lightning came, she stopped, looked up and smiled. 3followed, she stopped, looked up and smiled. With the coming of the following flashes of lightning, she repeated the4thing again and again.

    After she got into the car, he wondered why she stopped, looked up and smiled when a lightning came. She replied with a bright smile, "Dad, when a flash of lightning came, I felt a bit scared. Seeing this, God would5me. I knew he was playing an interesting game with me to drive my fear. "

Clark and Dale were staying in the same room in a hospital. Clark was so sick that he could not even move his body._He had to spend all his time lying on his back. Dale could sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the room's only window. 

Over time, Clark and Dale became good friends. Every afternoon, Dale would look out of the room's only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told Clark about the flowers in a park outside the window, the people walking by, the green trees beside roads—anything that might interest a man. 

One morning, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she found that Dale had died in his sleep. As soon as the room seemed tidy again, Clark asked if he could move to the bed next to the window so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurse agreed. Slowly, he could take his first look at the world outside. To his surprise, he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building. 

The nurse explained that Dale had been blind. He had never seen anything outside the window at all—but he described beautiful scenes to help his friend feel better. 

When I was young,I worked in San Francisco. I did my job well and my future was promising. I was alone in the world and I was happy. I didn't have to work on Saturdays. I enjoyed my time off in my little sailboat on San Francisco Bay. One Saturday afternoon,I sailed out too far. The strong wind pushed my sailboat out of the bay,into the Pacific Ocean

That night,when I had lost all hope,a small British boat saw me and took me on board. The boat was sailing to London. The voyage was long and stormy. I worked as a sailor to pay for my trip. 

When I arrived in London,my clothes were old and dirty. I had only one dollar in my pocket. With this dollar,I ate and slept for the first twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four hours,I didn't eat and I didn't sleep. The following morning,I went to Portland Place. I saw a child walking past,holding a big pear. The child ate one small piece and then threw the pear onto the street. 

I stopped and looked at it. I was very hungry and I really wanted that pear. But every time I tried to get it, someone passed by and looked at me. I quickly turned in the other direction and waited for the person to pass by. I tried again and again to get that pear,but the same thing happened. I was hopeless. But soon I made a determination(决心)to get the pear and not to worry about the people who saw me. 

Then,a gentleman opened a window behind me and said,"Come in here,please. "A well-dressed servant took me into a beautiful room. Here,two old gentlemen were sitting and discussing something important. Their breakfast was still on the table. I was very hungry and I stared at their breakfast. I want to tell the reader that the two gentlemen had made a bet(打赌)several days before. I knew nothing about the bet until later. Let me tell you what happened.
