It was a fine spring day for a walk down the street. A mother and her two little girls walked along the sidewalk, happily laughing.  1, a hundred small alien ships appeared on the horizon. They started  2 off some electric rays. People screamed. Children cried. There was  3 everywhere.

    There came the tingling sound of glasses breaking everywhere. People fled in every   4. The mother was jostled (推) and lost hold of her 5. She raced around shouting and crying for her kids. She thought they were lost to her forever.

    The sky cleared up. The aliens were 6. But there was no sight of the children. Heart-broken, the mother reached her house, crying her eyes out.

    She heard someone 7“Mamma”. Was it her kids? She frantically (慌忙地) 8 around. There they were! Hand in hand they came running towards her. She ran towards them, too. Her arms stretched out 9 to hug them. She opened her eyes. The pillow felt wet. It was a dream!

    She raced to the kids' bedroom. Her lovely girls were sleeping peacefully. She kissed both their foreheads and  10“love you”.

    Perhaps the only test score that I remembered is the 55 when I was in high school.

    The test was the final for a course. I remembered waiting anxiously as my teacher Mr. Right handed out our papers one by one. It was a rather 1 test. I heard my classmates groaning(叹息), and I could tell by the groans that the scores weren't looking2 .

    Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to draw attention, was my score, 55!

    I lowered my head, and 3 the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see.

    “The scores were not very good, none of you 4” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”A 55. That's me!5 my sad look didn't look so bad. I had the highest score. I felt a lot better.

    I walked home alone that day with the low but high score. My father knew that I had a big 6 that day and asked me as soon as I got home, “7 did you do in your test?”

    “I made a 55,” I said.

    A frown(皱眉) now stood on my father's face. I knew I had to8 at once. “But Dad, I had the highest score in the class, ” I 9  said. I thought that explanation would make a difference.

    “You 10 !” my father replied.

    “But it's the highest!” I 11.

    “I don't12 what scores others had, but you failed. What 13is what you do!” my father firmly said.

    For years, my father was 14 that way. It didn't matter what others did, it only mattered what I did and that I did it excellently.

    We often don't understand the 15 of good parents until we ourselves stand in the parents' shoes. My father's words have carried me throughout life.

    I remember sitting in an airport one day, waiting for my flight. I was1because I had a first-class(头等的) ticket. And in first class, the seats are2, and the food is more delicious, Actually, I had the best seat on the whole plane! Seat 1A. Before boarding, I3a young lady who had a big suitcase(手提箱) and several carry-on bags holding a crying baby. 4, the handle(把手) of her suitcase broke and the suitcase fell to the floor. She tried 5the case and her bags landed on the floor, too.

    "Let me help." I said to her.

    I 6 her suitcase over my left shoulder, put her bags on my right and asked, "Where to?"

    "Gate 20," she said, and showed me her ticket. Seat 24B

    "Oh, we are on the same flight."

    Boarding started, and I7that she needed the first class ticket. "It looks like you could use the first-class ticket more than me. I know how   8it can be flying with a kid. Why don't we trade tickets?"

    "Are you sure?" she asked.

    "Yes, just take my ticket and give me yours. I really don't9. I'm just going to be working the whole time, anyway."

    "That's very kind of you." she said, and expressed her10as we traded our tickets.

    Then we boarded the plane. I was surprised at the good 11it give me while watching her sit down in seat 1A. In fact, seat 24 B or12I was sitting didn't seem that bad at all. At one point during the flight I wanted to see how she was doing. So I13, walked to the first-class section, and had a look. There she was with her baby,14asleep. Seeing they were sleeping in big and 15seat 1A. I felt like a million bucks. I've got to keep doing this kind of thing.
