When I was young, my father used to grow carnations (康乃馨).His carnations were red, pink and white. Everyone who saw them admired them for their beauty.

 He took care of them with so much love and     36     . Every day he came home from work, he went   straight    to see them. He  37  watching them every day. We the kids did too. But he used to tell us, “No one should touch my flowers.”

One day my younger sister, who loved my dad very much, had wanted to help him and she     38      the carnations from their stems (枝干) one by one and arranged them    39       . She believed that he would be very     40     to see them that way.

When mom and I realized what my sister had done, we became completely hopeless. However, my sister had no idea why no one showed her any appreciation. When my dad arrived he went,  41 , straight to see the flowers. When he saw his flowers    lying     on the floor like dead animals, he was  42  at first. He looked towards the street, to see if it was any of the    43     children who could have done it. Then he entered the living room and looked at mom in silence.

Finally mom, who always taught us to     44     no matter what, looked at dad and said: “We have no bad neighbors in our area”. Then with a nice tone she continued: “No outsider did this great job, only your lovely daughter Clémence.” My dad’s face   changed     into  45  and then he said: “Do I have a better     46      than my lovely daughter?” My younger sister smiled and    47     dad tightly.

Now ,please understand that we have no written service rules    43    lost photos in the park.   44    ,the clerk at the front desk   45     Disney’s idea of caring for our    46    .She asked the woman to leave her a couple rolls of    47     film ,promising she would take care of the rest of our show at Polynesian Luau.

Two weeks later the guest received a      48   at her home.In it were photos of all the actors of our show,    49     signed by each performer.There were also      50    of the public procession(游行队伍)and fireworks in the park ,taken by the front-desk clerk in her own    51     after work.I happened to know this     52     because this guest wrote us a letter.She said that    53     in her life had she received such good service from any business.

Most of us are the only child in our family. We have no brothers or sisters. Our family mainly consists of our mom,our dad and us. We are growing up in a world differently from our parents’. And we will be the future leaders of China. Some day we have to work hand in hand with each other and make China more and more beautiful. So we must learn to love each other like brothers and sisters.

       It’s hard to think how difficult life would be if we had a sibling(同胞,手足).We never have to share anything at home. Of course, we might have cousins, but we don’t have to live with them! Our parents try to give us the best, and the best doesn’t need sharing between two or three children. Do we ever ask ourselves if we are (宠坏) spoiled?

     A recent study has found that many children don’t know how to love others! We don’r know the value of money. We don’t know how hard our parents are to support us. We don’t want others to regard us as spoiled, do we? Well, why not start now to help our parents at home, share a game with one of our friends or value the opinions of our classmates, even if we don’t always agree? In a word, we must learn to love each other!
