Good evening, everyone! Today, I'm very glad1a speech2name is "My Dream". We know everyone has his or her own dream. Some people want to be basketball players because they are good3sports. Some would like to become4 because they like to stay with children. Do you know5I'm going to be when I grow up? I like cooking,6 I want to become a good cook. I think I must have great7 cooking food. I'd like to ask everyone to taste my food. I also like seeing their smiling faces after8the delicious food. However, it's not so9to be a good cook. I decided to learn 10things about cooking from now on. I will work hard for my dream. I'm sure I will succeed (成功) one day.

    This morning I got an e-mail from Roy. It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at Harvard University.

    The1 made me think of the day when we moved into this house.

    Little Roy ran around the new house with great2 and tried to move his own things into the house such as his toys, books and clothes. 3 , his little hand knocked over(打翻) a bottle of paint on the shelf. The paint made the tidy floor and white wall a terrible mess. "Oh, my God!" My wife rushed in angrily. I looked at my son, and his small face was filled with 4.

    I 5 and held his hand. "Take it easy, Roy. Now let's do something to make it look 6" I said. I took out a 7 "You see, Dad is a magician（魔术师).I can change it 8a big tree. "

    His mother soon helped paint some butterflies and flowers on the9.

    We spent the whole afternoon 10 and laughing. The wall became a beautiful 11 with plants, birds and small animals. Blue sky and white clouds were also painted by Roy. On that day, everybody in the house knew something 12 happened.

    The night before Roy left for Harvard, he asked me 13 I still remembered the day when he had knocked over the paint. "Since then I've 14worried about making mistakes," he said. "I believe I can always 15 ways to solve problems. And I know you and mom always support me, love me. I love you both."

    A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need some hearing aid (助听). Not quite sure how to 1 her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there was a simple test the husband could do to give the doctor a better 2 of her hearing loss.

    "Here's what you do," said the doctor. "Stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a 3 conversational speaking tone (音调) see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then20 feet, and so on 4 you get a reply."

    That evening, the wife was in the 5, and he was in the yard. He said to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, and let me see what will happen." Then in a usual tone he asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    No 6.

    So the husband moved closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and asked, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    7 no reply.

    Next he moved into the dining room where he was about 20 feet from his wife and 8, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    Again he got no reply. He walked up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there was no reply.

    So he 9 right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"

    "Chicken! James, for the 10 time I've said that."

    As a child, I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others.

    I still remember it was an early autumn. Some1started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father's vest(背心)instead of 2. At that time, I was getting to have a 3 size than my father, so when I put on the vest, I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was4by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her5thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house6 my mother could stop me.

    Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, "See what your son has done. "Instead of saying he would scold (责备)or beat me, my father7 asked my mother to mend the Later when my mother told me about my father's response(反应), I felt terribly sorry for my bad behavior(行为). My father's gentle kindness taught me a lesson which I would8 forget.

    On that day, I decided not to let anger 9me any longer. Of course, there are times when I am angry. However, whenever that happens, I will try to remember my father's10 . It always reminds(提醒)me to think about others' feelings when I get angry.

    Years ago, I celebrated my 40^th birthday with my friends. I arrived at the restaurant ahead of time,1I waited outside the restaurant. Then a homeless man came up to me and asked for 2. I had been given strict orders by my friends not to bring my wallet in case(以防) I paid for the3. So I told the man that I had 4money. He quietly smiled at me, and then left.

    Just then a friend who 5arrived called out "Happy birthday!"6this, the man turned and asked, "Hey man, it's your birthday today?" "Yes, it is", I said. He 7, smiling and said loudly, "Happy birthday, man!" But I could 8imagine what happened next. The man reached into his pocket, pulled out a dollar bill and said "Here man, take this."

    Though I was 9his action, I didn't want to accept money from a homeless man. I said, "Thanks. That's really 10of you, but that's OK." The man looked directly into my eyes and said, "Please take this." I still hesitated(犹豫)to accept this11, but I heard a voice within me shouting, "TAKE THE MONEY!" I hesitantly reached out and said, "Thank you". Excitedly, he caught my 12, gave me the dollar and said, "No, thank you brother!"

    That experience made me feel like I had got far more than13!This was one of my greatest life 14: No matter how poor we may be, we always have something valuable to15with others.
