The People’s Republic of China celebrated the 70th anniversary of its founding in October last year. China held its largest military parade (阅兵仪式) in Tian’anmen Square on October 1st. People from home and abroad watched the military parade through different ways. They were all surprised at China’s progress. Looking back at the past, the great changes have taken place in China.

In the past, most people lived a hard life. Many people died of wars and hunger. Generations (几代人) of the family ever lived in a very small house: Usually, children couldn't have their own rooms and the younger seldom had new clothes. During the 1960s to 1970s, China fell far behind because of many kinds of reasons.

However, in 1978, China started to carry out the reform and opening-up policy (政策). It was an important turning point for Chinese people. Since then, China has developed rapidly.

Now, people’s life is very different from that in the past. The country tries its best to help poor areas so that all Chinese people can live a good and happy life. China also pays great attention to compulsory (义务的) education. Everything is changing in a surprising way.

So we have very good reasons to believe China’s future will be better and better.

随着祖国的飞速发展与日益强大，人民的生活水平也发生了翻天覆地的变化。假如你是李华，你的美国笔友Emily给你发来一封电子邮件，询问你家乡近五年的变化。请你给她回复一封邮件，简单介绍你家乡发生的变化。

I’m glad to tell you that great changes have taken place in my hometown over the past five years. Here are some changes.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Best wishes! I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

送行

①在没出国前，我和父亲的交流次数可以用双手数得过来形容。我一直认为我俩之间永远隔着一道墙，根深蒂固地杵在心中。直到那年，我选择离开上海登上飞往北欧的飞机，这道墙终于塌了。

②乘机前，父亲特意赶来，记忆中，这是父亲第一次送我。

③父亲爱酒成性，母亲因忍受不了父亲的酒后争吵与动手，在我不到三周岁时与父亲离婚。以前我一直把自己童年的不幸，归咎于我的父亲。那时的他，因为做生意失败，受到打击一蹶不振，整天无所事事地喝酒，酒后便与母亲争吵，甚至是动手。对生活毫不在意的他，对我更是不闻不顾。因此我选择了离家很远的地方上学和工作，从北方到了上海，再到后来去国外工作和学习。

④在临行前的一周我才把这个消息告诉母亲。母亲当时由于身体状况不能送我，特意打电话让父亲必须送我，而我却执意自己离开。

⑤记得那天我一个人拉着20公斤的行李箱到了火车站，候车时，远远地看见父亲提着一个行李包，气喘吁吁地跑过来。“你怎么来了？”我有些意外地问。父亲抹了一把额头上的汗水，笑了笑，说：“我来送你啊！”话刚落就抢过我的行李箱帮我拉着。一路上，我几乎没怎么和他说话。

⑥北京的机场永远是人来人往，每天上演着送别与迎接。我有些伤感，便转过头来，冲父亲冷冰冰地说：“你可以离开了。”他听了，依旧微笑着说：“还早呢，你办好托运我再走。”然后就一直跟在后面默默拉着行李箱。我找了一个安静的休息区坐下来，他站在那儿好像孩子一样在等我的指示。我示意让他坐下来，他选择了我对面一个位置坐了下来。

⑦我拿出背包中的一本书打发时间。过了一会儿，他小声问：“渴不渴？”“包里有水。”我头也不抬地回应。过了一会儿，他又问：“饿不饿？”“不饿。”不知过了多久，我无意间扫了他一眼，他双手肘杵在大腿上，手托着头闭着眼，我以为他睡了，咳嗽了一下，他马上抬头坐直身子问我：“是不是感冒了？”我摇头，他像泄了气的气球，肩马上放松下来。我感觉有些饿，和他说找个吃饭的地方，他说行，像个仆人，拉起行李箱在我后边走着。

⑧我点了一碗牛肉面，也给他点了一碗。面上来时，他从自己带的包里取出一小瓶白酒，要打开喝。看他拿酒我就反感，马上恶狠狠地对他说：“别在我面前喝酒！” 他先是一怔，然后小心翼翼地把还没拿上桌的酒放了回去，嘴上说着：“不喝，不喝。”我只顾着吃面，但一想到他刚才的举动，又回想小时候因为喝酒他动手打我母亲的情景，我内心激动的情绪一下子被点燃了。我控制不住，本能地放下筷子，把我的不满、我的愤恨、我的委屈，以及我离开的惆怅和对未知生活的忐忑全都发泄在他身上。他起初默默低头吃着碗里的面，脸涨得比他喝酒时还红。直到我越说越多，越说越哭，他抬头看着我，说着：“别哭，别哭！”并试图拿手为我擦眼泪。我用手挡了一下。

⑨他嘴唇抖动着说：“爸爸老了，知道年轻时的做法不对，爸爸怎么才能给你弥补呢？”“晚了，弥补不了了。”我还是狠狠地说。他没有说话，坐在那儿，头好像快埋在面里，但豆大的眼泪滴滴砸在碗中。这是我第一次看到父亲在我面前哭，第一次看到他像个孩子一样，不知怎么为自己犯下的错误做解释而哭。也许是血脉相连，也许是真的男儿有泪不轻弹，这一刻，我有那种虽不能马上原谅他但想听他解释的念头。但他没有解释，擦了擦泪，对我说：“爸爸以后不会让你伤心了，也不让你操心，你要好好学习工作，爸爸也好好工作，不喝酒，等你回来，爸爸来接你，时间不早了，爸爸送你办托运。”

⑩办好托运，我走到安检口，他好像要说什么，但没有说，只做了个打电话的手势，然后泪瞬间涌出，头也不回地消失在人流之中。我的喉咙像被卡住一样，说不出话，叫不出来，低着头走进安检。

⑪10个小时后，飞机终于落地挪威。我突然意识到，父亲到机场送我的时间很短，而他从老家辗转到机场却要近10个小时，然后再承受着我的数落怨言独自一人回去，那回家的路怕是更长……

⑫我掏出手机，拨通了父亲的电话，电话接通，却只叫出一声“爸”，泪水已经决堤。
