     Excuses!  Excuses !
     Harry was often late for school, and when the teacher asked him why he was late
he always had an excuse. " My alarm clock didn't go off,"  he said one morning. "The bus broke down, "he told her another morning. Usually he just didn't want to get out
of bed!
     When he didn't hand in his homework he had an excuse for this as well. "The dog ate it,"was one reason that he had forgotten to do it, or left it until he was too tired. He always thought of someone or something to blame for his mistakes.
     "Why are your grades so bad, Harry?" his mother asked him one afternoon.
      "It's not my fault (错误) , Mom,"Harry replied.
     "My teacher isn't very good. "
     "Then I will phone the school and talk to your headmaster, " his mother said.
      "No , no. " Harry said quickly. "That won't help. He doesn't like me."
      "Then we'll have to send you to a different school, " his father said, " You won't
see your friends anymore but your grades are more important. "
      Harry thought about this for a minute. He didn't want to change schools. Then he said, "I probably could try harder to get to school on time. "
      "That would help, " his  mother replied. "But what  about your homework?"
        "Well, "he said. "I suppose l could work harder to keep up with my homework
as well. I think I'll  go and do today's homework right now. "

I grew up in a town called Estepna, living with my father. One morning, when I was sixteen, dad told me I could drive him into a faraway village called Mijas, on condition that (条件是). I took the car to be serviced (维护) at a nearby garage. I happily accepted (接受). I drove Dad into Mijas, and promised to pick him up at 4 p.m., then got the car to the garage. Then I went to a theatre. However, when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!

     I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I'd been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When l hurried there I apologized (道歉) for being late, and told him I'd come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some big repairs. I' ll never forget the look he gave me.     "I' m disappointed you decided to lie to me, Jason." Dad looked at me again. "When you didn't turn up, I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me you hadn't yet picked up the car." I felt ashamed (羞愧) as I told him the real reason. A sadness passed through dad as he listened carefully, "I'm angry with myself. I realized I had failed as a father. I'm going to walk home now and think seriously about where I have gone wrong all these years." "But Dad, it' s eighteen miles!"

     It's not easy to be an astronaut's son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder
how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does. Even in
middle school he was class president and captain of the football team.
     Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving
a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when
my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole school. "I hope we have
a winner right here in my class."
     When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, I wouldn't start
like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm. 
     I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged me for
hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he
wasn't just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.  
     My parents and l went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! My dad
looked at me, and I shrugged (耸肩). 
     The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved (释然) and disappointed at the same
time. The second prize was announced. It was me. 
     I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father's son". When I finished, the people stood
up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared
his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. "Son, this is the proudest moment of my life."
     It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it
was enough just to be my father's son.
