My dad works every day late into the _________, sometimes even forgetting to eat dinner, and gets up early as well. Even when he’s at home he always thinks about his _________ and hardly ever spends any time with my mother and me.

As a doctor who ever _________ in Peking University and got his degree (学位) of medicine, he could make lots of money and only do half of the work he is doing now, but he chose to do more _________ and heavy work when he graduated. He spends every coin like it is his last although he makes a good salary (薪水). He always wears worn (破旧的) and _________ clothes, saying they are comfortable and suit him well and refuses to change. I sometimes get angry with him for not _________ his appearance, but he just smiles and says, Daddy has more important uses for the money, all right?”

I never stopped being curious (好奇的) about how he spent his _________. Then one day when I was reading the newspaper, a piece of news caught my eyes: “Doctor Li has _________ 100,000 yuan to help _________ children in flood-stricken areas go back to school.” At that moment I suddenly understood what my dad had done.

My father’s love for others has touched me __________. I start to admire the great spirit and decide to pass it on.
