Wally was a wild goose(鹅). One day, when he was flying south for 1with his family, he saw some farm geese walking around and eating corn on the ground. “It would be nice to have corn,” he thought. “And flying is very 2. I'd like to walk around for a while.”

    Wally 3his family, landed among the farm geese and began to eat corn. The other wild geese went on flying 4Wally didn't care. “I'll join them again when they come back 5in a few months,” he thought.

    A few months went by, it was spring. Wally looked up and saw the other wild geese. They looked beautiful in the 6. Wally said to himself, “It's time to leave. I'm 7the ground.”

    So Wally tried to fly. But he became very 8because he had eaten too much corn and he hadn't exercised his wings much. He 9to the ground. “Oh, well, I'll just wait until they fly south again. Then I'll join them,” he said.

    When his family flew overhead once more, Wally tried to fly again, but he 10.

    Wally became a farm goose at last.

    It was a cold snowy morning after the winter vacation. And it was my first 1 at my new school. I was walking alone slowly and 2 about lots of things. It was early and there weren't many people on the road. Suddenly a girl who was 3 a bike on ice fell down. She was trying hard to get up but fell again. 4 thinking, I went over and helped her. She said “5” with a smile and then rode away. Her words warmed me a lot.

    Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the 6 and introduced me to the class. Then he asked me to sit down beside a girl. I felt so 7 that I didn't dare to look at her. Soon the first class, 8, started. Their textbooks were different from those in my old school. As I was wondering 9 to do, an English book appeared in front of me. “Let's share,” the girl beside me said, “Hi, I'm Carrie.” I 10. It was the girl I helped this morning. Later on, we became good friends.

    From that I learned: to help others is actually to help ourselves!

    Yesterday was 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 1 mood (情绪). 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,Berk? It's a beautiful day.”

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

    My friends called and 4 me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be5with them and then went with them.When I came home，I found a6 on 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 his injuries were extensive(大曲积的). “Your father told the driver to leave8 alone 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 9 those terrible words： Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to10 himself. He didn't want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him 11 I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he was12 able to have 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 about13 I said to you that day.You know, that morning?"

    He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember14 about 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 to 15 our words.I am going to do that very carefully from now on.
