It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father's lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure（模糊的形象）to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.

 When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.

 But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony, where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up（露面）.“Don't come. I will be very nervous if I see you,”I told him.

 I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave. I suddenly noticed a familiar（熟悉的）looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears（眼泪）running down my face. "Well done,"he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.

Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn't want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.

 For much of my life, I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously（明显地）not true. At my graduation ceremony. I could feel my father's deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive（感知）the world with our hearts and minds. There's no doubt that life doesn't lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.

    Amelia Earhart was born in America in 1897. As a little girl, she could climb trees and catch rats. When she was seven years old, she discovered she was interested in flying. In 1920, Amelia took a plane and knew she had to fly! Just days after that, she took her first flying lesson. Six months later, she bought her own plane!

    A Life-Changing Flight On June 18^th, 1928, Amelia became world-famous because she flew across the Atlantic with others as the first woman. And then she was called the “Queen of the Air”.

Making and Breaking Records Although Amelia was well-known in the flight, she never stopped practicing. In 1932, she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic by herself, and later in 1935, she was the first person to fly over the Pacific from Hawaii to California by herself.

    The Last Flight When her 40th birthday was coming, Amelia prepared for her biggest challenge-an around-the-world flight. On June 1, 1937, she began her 46, 671-kilometer flight. Something unlucky happened on June 29. She never came back again.

Deisha walked up and down as she waited backstage. This would be her most important piano performance yet. At ten years old, she was the youngest performer in the recital (音乐演奏会). She had practiced playing her song more than 30 times that week. When she closed her eyes at night, the music played over and over again in her head.

    Now that the day had arrived, Deisha was not sure she was ready. She smoothed her hair and picked a piece of lint (绒毛) from the new dress that her mother had bought for her. She noticed that her hands were shaking. How could she play the notes of the song if her hands were shaking? She tried to concentrate on steadying (稳住) them, but they only shook more.

   Deisha's piano teacher, Ms Neal, walked up to speak to her. “I have something for you,” she said, putting a smooth black stone into Deisha's hand. “It's a special stone. There's no other one like it in the world. You've practiced so much, you don't need anything else.”

   The stage lights reflected off the rock. “Thank you,” Deisha said.

   When Deisha's name was called, she rubbed the stone, stepped onto the stage, and played better than ever. After her performance, she noticed that Ms Neal had a whole bag of black stones. “Why did you say this one was so special?” she asked.

   Her teacher responded, “Because, like your talent, it belongs only to you.”

Down by the salley gardens

my love and I did meet;

She passed the salley gardens

with little snow-white feet.

She bid (请求) me take love easy,

as the leaves grow on the tree;

But I, being young and foolish(傻的),

with her would not agree.

In a field by the river

my love and I did stand,

And on my leaning shoulder(肩膀)

she put her snow-white ______.

She bid me take life easy,

as the grass grows on the weirs(河堰);

But I was young and foolish,

and now am full of tears(眼泪).

    Hi, I'm Dino, the family dog. I help keep people safe, especially on the roads. Take a look at my diary to see what I did last week.

    Sunday

    Some children are really too young to take care of themselves. Our neighbor's boy ran in front of a car to get his ball. The car almost hit him. I saved him though. Remember, always look and listen.

    Tuesday

    People can get very angry when driving, usually for silly reasons. One driver started shouting at Mum today when she stopped to let some children cross the road. I soon made the driver stop.

    Wednesday

    One thing makes me really mad. Grrrrrr. People walk on a dangerous road when they can walk on the safe pavement (人行道). I saw two girls doing that today but I soon made them change their minds.

    Saturday

    Today Mum took me for a walk. One car was parked in a very dangerous place. It was right on the corner of the street. Don't worry though. I left him a message.
