【推荐1】In the days following the first anniversary(周年纪念) of my dad ’s death, I felt sad. I still missed him so much. I would walk over to his old house where my daughter now live and still expect to see him sitting out on his front porch(走廊). I would see him in my dreams, looking young and strong again.
I felt bad too because I regretted not spending more time with him while he was here. I wished I had visited him more, talked with him more, and listened to him more. I wished I had asked the questions that I never did. I wished I had given him more hugs and told him I loved him more often. I wished I had cherished the time I had with him here. I was angry at the destiny(命运) because Dad and Mum had both passed away before I was 50, and I was angry with myself because I hadn’t made the most of time I had with them.
Today, I found myself walking under a cloudy sky, staring at the leafless trees. As I walked along, one of the last golden maple leaves fell from its tree and sailed in the wind until it landed in front of me. I picked it up and smiled. At the moment of peace I felt a sound in my heart and mind: “death is momentary(瞬间的), but love is eternal(永久的).” I knew at that moment that my relationships with Mum and Dad were not over. We would see each other again in a place of love, joy and light. We would spend our days in learning, laughter and love.

Some people might feel their hearts beating quickly while they are waiting for the test paper. A student with really strong test anxiety may even feel like he or she might be sick or throw up（呕吐）.
Sound familiar? You’ll find that just about all people—adults and others—have some anxiety before a test. According to studies, proper anxiety can be helpful, keeping you sharp and focused and even helping you get good grades. But when you have so much anxiety or feel so sick that you can’t do well in your studies or tests, that’s bad for your studies or your body health.
Of course, if you don’t study for the test, you might be worried. That kind of anxiety isn’t easy to deal with because even if you find a way to calm down, you still might not know what to do with it. When you are preparing for a test and you get a handle on your test, you will be able to let your knowledge work well and get good grades.
