When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act    1    (it)rather than the things you buy that matters. Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers.    2    , I had never got anything from my son, who is    3    university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children's birthday, but their children seem to be very forgetful. They seldom do something in return.

Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual,    4    (meet)him at the station. On arriving home, much    5    my surprise, my son took out a fashionable wrist watch and gave it to me,    6    (say)it was a birthday gift for me. You can imagine how    7    (surprise)and excited I was at that moment!

Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents,    8    they never express thanks for. It is natural for people to have such concerns and    9    (worry), but things may not turn out as badly as    10    (expect).

A small bike is lying     1     (quiet) in our garden. It     2     (be) quite old and I can not ride it any longer, but I still keep it there, as it often brings back to me a wonderful memory.

Many     3     (year) ago, it was a Sunday morning on my tenth birthday. My father bought me a new bike. I asked my father to teach me     4     the garden. After I sat on the new bike, my father     5     (help) me to ride the bike. Then, he pushed the bike and it started to move. I was afraid! But my father kept encouraging     6     (I). I could ride around the garden soon after my first try was     7     (wonder). But unluckily, I didn’t see a small tree in front     8     me. I hit it and fell off the bike. It hurt me     9     lot and I started to cry. My father encouraged me     10     (stand) up and try again. Finally, I was able to ride the bike.
