"So, it's like a t5.in our family?” Andy asked.

"Yes, this is a present for both of us. Maybe you'll build one for your son one day. "

Dad looked around and asked Andy what they would do first in the tree fort.

H6.did you know I wanted it?” Andy always saw his dad playing a7.the computer. And he guessed it must be his father's favorite.

"Let's play it!” Dad set up the chessboard. "It's the best gift I got of all this Father's Day.”

Dad squeezed Andy's shoulder, "I think he'd love that.”

Almost everybody loves snakes (零食). When I first came to Beijing, I was surprised to see that some of my favorite snack brands (品牌) from back home were also in China. Many of them also have new flavors (口味) for Chinese.

For example, the Dove brand of chocolate has a green tea-flavored chocolate bar (巧克力棒). The Lay’s brand of potato chips has a cucumber (黄瓜) flavor. I find shrimp-flavored (虾味的) snacks, too. And of course, fast food restaurants like KFC also have their own Chinese food such as youtiao and porridge.

Some of these “Chinese” flavors are quite good. The green tea-flavored snacks tasted a bit odd (奇怪的) to me at first, but I like the taste now. As for the shrimp-flavored snacks. Well, I think I’ll leave those ones alone for now.

One morning, I was driving my father to the airport when a plane flew silently over the road like a big bird, about to touch down at the airport.

"It's magic (魔法)." my father said. I looked at him, without knowing what was happening.

He was a doctor who gave speeches at colleges and had visited more than 100 countries. He understood better than I why a plane can fly in the sky. It, really, wasn't magic.

But now, I know he was at least right in some way.

Flying might not be magic, but it's certainly magical. What it brings to our lives is something found in our dreams.

But too often, we, especially (尤其) I forget. I read a sentence a few months ago. It said, " You know you're growing-up when you no longer want a window seat."

Too often in these years, I've asked for a seat near the exit row, forgetting the wonder (奇观) of travelling fast. But sometimes, when the Wi-Fi's not working or my computer has no power, I remember to look.

I think of one time when I was leaving on a family vacation. Moments after take-off, I started working. But a passenger (乘客) behind me wouldn't stop talking. "The clouds!" he kept saying. Look at the clouds!

I turned around,and saw two men,one seemed to be in his seventies and the other much younger. The chat went on for 20 minutes until,not patiently,I raised my eyes from my computer screen and looked out of the window.

The clouds!

He was right. We were floating through big soft balls of cotton, each in different shapes. They seemed close enough to touch. The afternoon sun provided all kinds of colours, all against a blue sky. I put away my computer and enjoy them for the rest of the flight.

I don't remember the work I felt like I had to complete that afternoon. I've never forgotten those clouds.

As the teacher called my name, I knew what lay ahead. She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division(除法)problem. Division was my_________ subject. I repeatedly put the numbers in the_________places, or forgot to add in the zeros.

I worriedly_________myself out of my seat. With every slow step I took, I grew more nervous. My stomach ached, and my whole body shook with_________.

The teacher read the problem aloud. Unsure of myself, I looked at the girl beside me, and tried to _________ what she was writing, but she went faster than I could understand, writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols.

My eyes fixed on the chicken scratch I had tried. Impossible to understand. Why me?Why couldn’t I _________the problem that seemed easy to all other kids?These_________filled my head.

“Now, class, Susie did this problem absolutely_________.”

“As for Tara,” the teacher said jokingly, “I don’t even know what she did.”
