I have a good friend. 1 name is Peter. We study in Beijing Sunshine Secondary School. We are in the same class. He sits in front of 2. He likes Music lesson best. He 3 many CDs. He likes 4 music very much. He likes playing football, too. After school we often play football in the 5. He is very helpful. We often help each 6.

    Peter is not a Chinese. He is from 7. He comes to Beijing 8 his family. His father is a doctor and his mother is a nurse. They work from Monday 9 Friday. At weekends, his mother likes shopping and his father likes fishing. Sometimes they go to the park. They all like Chinese food. They 10 very happy.

    Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. 1 together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I 2 lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain." Without the mountains-climbing 3 we both enjoyed, we couldn't have enough time 4 together because my father was very busy. I 5 got a lot from mountain-climbing.

    Once we climbed a very 6 mountain. It was so challenging for me 7 I was only ten years old. During 8 first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing, but as time 9, I got a pain in both of my legs, I wanted to give up 10. In fact, I hated it at the moment, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the 11, but you can't see it 12 you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like 13 life."

    At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But 14 after that, I get new hope and confidence. I found 15 standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal(水晶)

    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.

    "Ring…ring…" the telephone suddenly rang. Sam got up to 1 the call. It was his aunt.

    "Sam,2 are you still at home?" she asked surprisingly. Sam looked at the clock. It was already 7: 30 a.m. "Oh, my goodness! There's an important3 today, Sam shouted out, He hurried to wash his face and get4. When he was going to leave the house, he5that he didn't put away his books. He ran quickly to the 6 and put them into the bag. He then went to the bus stop to go to school as7as he could. When he got into the classroom,his classmates were8writing. "Why are you so9" asked the teacher." I'm sorry, sir," Sam answered, afraid of looking10. "It was my clock. It failed to wake me up this morning and ······""Don't say11about it ,"his teacher12him. "Don't try to come late next time!" Sam said yes and walked to his13quickly. But when he tried to do the paper, he could not14in a right way. He put his head on the desk and said, "What a15day it was for me!"

When I was a boy, I used to love walking in the woods around my home. My mom warned me several times 1 to travel so far that I would lose sight of the house. Being a naughty (淘气的) boy, 2 , I soon found myself walking further away, testing just 3 I could go into the woods without getting lost. After 4 my way once for two hours, though, I decided that I had better leave a trail (痕迹). 

The next day I decided to try it. I walked into the woods 5 the house was out of sight. Then I broke a small 6 on a young tree to mark the way I walked. I walked further and broke many sticks. In a few places where there were no small sticks, I 7 some daisies (雏菊) that were growing. After a while I finally got 8 and couldn't walk any further. Then I decided to go back. When I turned around, I easily found my way home, but instead of being proud, I felt 9 . I could see the trail of destruction(破坏) I had left in the woods going on and on. Looking at the broken sticks and dead 10 , I was ashamed. I promised never to do that again. Instead, I started to cherish(珍惜) my time alone in the woods with nature. I'd sit by the streams and listen to them 11 . I'd watch the birds and squirrels. I'd bend down to smell the flowers. And I even buried an acorn(橡树种子) or two 12 that one day an Oak might grow. 

There is an old saying that goes, "We will be known forever by the tracks(痕迹) we leave. " As I have grown older and wiser, I have done me best to never 13 a trail of destruction in my life as I did in the woods that day. I have instead tried to leave tracks of 14 , kindness and goodness and I have also 15 to show others that they can do the same and of course they have succeeded in doing this. May you always leave tracks of joy as you follow your own trail of love.
