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.

    It was a sunny winter day. I had gone down the tower when a blind man came toward me. He kept close to the wall, touching it lightly with his arm. I stood still and looked at him walking toward the tower.

    "What does a blind man want to climb up the tower for?" I wondered (疑惑). "Not the view(景色) certainly, perhaps he wants to jump. "Thinking of some terrible reasons, I thought I should 1 him.

    He went up slowly and 2 from time to time. I followed him a few steps behind. When he got to the first corner of the bell tower, I came close to him. "Excuse me, "I said as politely as I could, "but I wonder 3 you came up."

    He smiled, "Perhaps climbing up the tower. You have noticed — and yet, not being blind, perhaps you won't — how the sun shines into the tower 4 the windows here and there, so that one can 5the cool steps suddenly become quite warm, even in winter. But behind the wall there is shade(阴影). There is no place so good as this for feeling the difference between light and darkness. Though I'm blind, I also want to feel the 6 brought by the sunlight. In fact, it isn't my first time to be here." He said and seemed as    7 as a child.

    I had never thought that even a blind man could have his way to 8 the beautiful life. But we often paid no attention to its value because we never 9 it.

    We went down the 10 together and I left him. From then on, I began to treasure what life has given me.

    The idea for the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came to Joanne Kathleen Rowling in 1990. It took her seven years to finish writing it. During those seven years she had a number of jobs, including one job as an English teacher.

    Rowling sent the book to four publishers (出版社) before one of them bought it. She was very happy to sell her book because it was her life's dream to be a published writer. Before she sold her book, Rowling was living in a small apartment with her daughter and was so poor that she could not afford heat in the winter.

    Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in England. The book also really took off in the United States. After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers' lists of best-sellers. Then the books were made into popular movies. Without question, Rowling's life had completely changed, in just three years.

    Harry Potter books have now sold more than 30 million books around the world and have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. In 1997, Rowling was earning ￡70 a week.

    By the end of 2001, she had earned over ￡150 million, making her one of the most successful female writers of all time.

    Every boy wants to find treasure．And Tom was no different.  One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea．

    "Where can we look for treasure？"asked Huck．

    "It's hidden on islands，under dead trees，but mostly under the floors in haunted（闹鬼的） houses．"

    So，one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure as the haunted house on Cardiff Hill．It was a quiet and lonely which made the boys feel very frightened．They entered quietly，and explored downstairs．Everything was old，broken and dirty．They threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs，but there was nothing there．They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped．

    "What is it？"whispered Huck，going white with fright．

    "Keep quiet! There's someone downstairs．"

    The boys lay down，looking through the holes in the wooden floor．There were two men downstairs．One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was duty and unpleasant﹣looking．

    Tom and Hack shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it was Injun Joe He said，

    "It's time for us to move，partner．What will we do with the 650formtherobbery（抢劫）？""Let'skeep30each and leave the bag here．"

    The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved a stone．Then he lifted out a bag full of money and look out some coins．The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was real treasure downstairs．

    Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something．

    "What is it？"asked the other man．

    "It's a box，"said Indian Joe．And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins．The other man found the boys'tools，and they soon pulled out the box．

    "Where's thousands of dollars in there，"Said Indian Joe．

    "The Murrell Gang used this area one summer，"said his partner．

    "They most have hidden their money here．"

    "What will we do with this，Joe？Will we bury（埋）it again？"

    "No，someone might find it，"said Indian Joe．"Let's bury it in the member two den（巢穴）．"

Tom and Huck got up as soon as the two men left．They decided to watch out for the"man in the sombrero"when he came to town and find out where the member two den was．

    Last Sunday evening, my parents went out for a walk with my sister. But I studied alone at home because would have an English test. Suddenly, I saw bright light in my neighbor's kitchen. I thought he was cooking, so I went on studying.

    Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw fire coming out of my neighbor's kitchen. So I shouted "Fire, Fire!" But no one heard or came out.

    I ran quickly to my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbor's doorbell, knocked at the door, but there was no response. I got into the house through the window and found my neighbor sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together.

    We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too heavy. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly. When my parents came back, they found I was dirty and tired. After my neighbor told them the whole story, they were happy and said I was a brave boy.
