1 . My parents managed to clear their debt before we moved to America. Neither of them spoke fluent English and neither had a professional career. Growing up, I was always aware of my family’s ________ financial situation. I also found that Iwas responsible for my parents’ hardships. I decided that my goal in life was to become successful, get a well-paying job and _______ them. So naturally, I took my studies seriously and worked hard to become an _________ high-achieving student. I dreamt to enroll in a top college to pursue greater knowledge. Like many students, I spent a lot of energy and time ______ my college resume. Despite my ______ schedule, I managed to complete the lengthy, complex______. I believed it, from essays to recommendation letter, was flawless—a guaranteed acceptance into this competitive program. But I had one last______ to overcome: to ______ mail the application. On the instruction sheet, it said in captalized , bold letters: “ WE DO NOT ACCEPT CERTIFIED MAIL(挂号信)”. I should have posted the application myself because it had special directions, but my father kindly insisted that he ______ it. I had my ______ because my parents didn’t speak great English, but I finally ______ and wrote the instructions for him.

While I was in school, my father sent me a text saying that he had finished the task______. He had found a worker at the post office to help him. I was ______. Yet, later, I found out that he had done one thing very______: he sent application as “certified mail”.

Right then and there, my perfect application became an automatic ______. But in the moment of despair and frustration and danger, I ______him. I locked myself in my room and sobbed until my face was covered in tears, my floor in used tissues. Then as I ______ my room, my father also came out of his. My mother, who was watching from a(n) ______ distance, joined the hug, and we three cried together. I knew my ______ need for success came from my selfless desire to make my parents happy, and my temporary hatred toward them was a result of my love for them. My intentions were pure, but things were ______ later. I’m just glad finally they were all straightened out.

2 . On a recent afternoon, some 60 years after they graduated from grammar school, Kathleen Rys, 72, and her sister Lorraine O'Kelly, 70, sat down and had a meal with a classmate, Bruce Smit, 71, for the first time.

In the 1950s, Lorraine and Kathleen Rys' family moved from Chicago to Monee. As new kids at Monee Elementary School, they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.

"I would be with the other guys and see Kathleen walking down the hallway, her head down, holding her books, walking slowly. And all of us guys would be flat against the wall until she passed. Then we'd burst into laughter. How rude is that? It's just crazy." said Smit, a doctor whose wife, Tammy, organized the meeting.

The women said none of the teachers cared about it. "We just kept it to ourselves. " Lorraine said.

Over the years, Tammy Smit said, "Bruce would just start to cry at times. He'd wonder what happened to the sisters, if they landed OK." One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the internet and found Mary O'Kelly, Lorraine's daughter, and offered to set up a meeting. The idea of revisiting the pain was not well- received by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date. It took some convincing, but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce.

Bruce broke into tears. "I'm so ashamed, so embarrassed," he said. "But I'm so happy you're still here and that I can finally apologize. " He said he hopes his apology will encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they make on others. Lorraine said, "This is a beautiful thing. It's just wonderful that a person from 60 years ago can ask for forgiveness. It's like a miracle to us. It's a healing to us."

3 . Whether you' re a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development.     1     No matter your age is, there are 5 ways to show respect.

●Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries.     2    — And never borrow things without asking first.

●Punctuality .

    3     Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew （宵禁）.Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age is.

●    4    

Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated .A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

●Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements.     5    

A．Celebrate with them.

B．Be a good listener.

C．Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.

D．Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

E．Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

F．And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.

G．Lateness indicates a lack of respect.

4 . When the fork was stolen off Bart Michiels’s mountain bike last summer, he wheeled it nearly three miles from his home in Chelsea to Frank’s Bike Shop on the eastern end of Grand Street.

Mr. Michiels passed many other bike shops along the way, including one that offers free coffee. But for 20 years, he has remained devoted (忠实的) to Frank’s. “Frank’s the man,” he said of Frank Arroyo, the owner. “I don’t care where he is in the city—I’ll go.”

Mr. Michiels doesn’t have to worry about Mr. Arroyo’s relocating (搬迁). The shop has stayed on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for 40 years.

After Mr. Michiels left, Marvin Priess arrived. A professor of chemistry and math, Mr. Priess wheeled in the Ross 18-speed he had bought at Frank’s in 1978 and still rides today, at age 68. Mr. Priess said that over the years, every single part of it that couldn’t be repaired had been replaced, sometimes more than once, at Frank’s. Customers don’t come for the ambience (环境). It’s crowded and dirty; buckets of parts and boxes of training wheels line the entryway.

The store is filled with about 500 bikes and you will find Mr. Arroyo, 72, six days a week. He has been in the bike business since age 14. Born and raised on the Lower East Side, he has employed and taught many young people in the neighborhood. He is also willing to repair bikes in any condition, as well as his neighbors’ walkers and wheelchairs.

English Epps, a lawyer, needed a new seat; his had been stolen. “I’ve been coming here since I was in the third grade,” he said, adding: “There’s a new bike shop on Delancey Street, but everybody comes here.”

During my last winter holiday, I went to countryside with my father to visit my grandparents. I find a big change there. The first time I went there, they were living in a small house with dogs, ducks, and another animals. Last winter when I went here again, they had a big separate house to raise dozens of chicken. They also had a small pond which they raised fish. My grandpa said last summer they earned quite a lot by sell the fish. I felt happily that their life had improved. At the end of our trip, I told my father that I planned to return for every two years, but he agreed.
