Yesterday is Father’s Day. Many things happening between my father and me crowded my mind. But one thing made a deep impression on me.

It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a _______ mood(情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room _______ ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”

“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the _______ words I said to him that morning.

My friends called and _______ me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be _______ with them and then went with them. When I came home, I found a _______ on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an _______. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”

When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me a car hit my father and his injuries were extensive(大面积的). “Your father told the driver to leave _______ alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, …”

My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything _______ those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to ________ himself. He didn’t want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him ________ I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?

It was several days later that he was ________ able to have a talk. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

“Daddy … I am so sorry …”

“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”

“No,” I said, “I mean about ________ I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember ________ about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember telling you good night the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.

My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal(治愈). And we all have the power to choose our ________. I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

   We spend hours, days and years of our lives in education. But how perfect do you think your school is? Imagine you could design(设计) your ideal(理想的) school. What would it be like? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is some designing from four children of different countries.

Ma, China

My dream school would have an Olympic­size swimming pool, two football pitches and a golf course. It would also have a cinema, a gym, a restaurant and a shopping centre. My school has none of these and I think there should be more enjoyable things for pupils to do while they are studying.

Sonia, Italy

I'd like a room where we can go and relax and play computer games and chat with friends. Some older pupils in the school have this but I think there should be a place for everyone to go when they want to switch off (转换注意力) from the lessons.

Richard, USA

I think it would be great to have a day off every week, as well as the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. What fun! I also think school should start later, at about 10 o'clock, and finish earlier. We spend a lot of time at school doing nothing at all. I'm sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours.

Rebecca, Australia

My dream school would be big and roomy with a computer for every person in the school. I'd also like to have a music room where we can just go and play instruments when we want. We need a recording studio, too. I hope that teachers can respect(尊重) our opinions.

   Let's suppose it is a common day of 2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

Trips to the moon are being made every day. Taking a holiday on the moon today is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe in the 2010's. At a number of scenic spots(风景胜地) on the moon, many hotels have been built. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(药片) form, and the food that goes into the pill comes mainly from green plants.

Because people in the world today are many more than those about fifty years ago, most of the earth's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests(害虫). The harvest is always good.

Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.

People are now largely vegetarians, and they eat only bread, vegetables, fruit and so on and they don't eat meat or fish. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. So people have to be vegetarians. We are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know how to deal with all kinds of illnesses. No one has to be ill any more. Such would be our life in 2060.

   Old Dawson had the best apples in town, but kids knew they mustn’t go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because Dawson, a bad­tempered (坏脾气的) man, they said, would come after you with his gun.

One Friday, 12­-year-­old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house. Like most of the children, Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.

Amy said that Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, a big smile changed his whole face as he said, “Hello, Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree.

As they walked on, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. Why was he so nice to us?”

Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she always smiled at him. It took a while, but one day he half­ smiled back at her.

After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a “Hello” at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.

We’re always trying to achieve so much, and it’s so easy to get caught up in (被卷入；陷入) everyday life that we forget we can bring cheer to ourselves and others simply. Giving a smile takes so little effort; let’s smile to others.

   Shopping online is popular now. Recently, Sanoma Media did a survey on buying electronic products online. 3673 people from six European countries took part in the survey. The result shows it is interesting that most of the people are men, and 95 percent(百分之……) of the people often buy the electronic products online. You can draw a conclusion (结论) that most of men like buying electronic products. The following are all these people’s background details.

Few people today educate the children about the value of empathy（同情）. Most people feel so hard
56．their love and care towards others and to actually understand what they are going through.

When I was a child, I
57．to go out of my way to make someone else happy. My mum would tell me to say at least one kind word to someone else every day. I admit that it wasn’t very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of thanks in that person’s
58．, you just want to do as much as you can.

I had an experience with a young man
59．people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started walking with him and introducing him to people around

I was making him happy by just doing that. And I loved the fact that I was really making a
61． in his life.

After a while, I realized that he wasn’t the kind of person everybody thought he was. We are still really good friends today. People have almost
62．stopped making fun of him. But he is still what he was. What had changed was the attitudes of others towards him.

From this experience I
63．that I should be more loving towards other people already.

What I did for my friend was so easy, and at the same time I had a lot of fun,
64．I hope that everyone could say a kind word to someone else at least once a day. I can promise it will be the best feeling you can ever get.

One kind word could make someone’s day
