A few months earlier I had been painting two portraits for each of my parents．I'd planned to give them the portraits as Christmas gifts．This would be a 36 for everyone，as I had not studied 37 ．
While painting one day, I was surprised by a knock on the door. Quickly having put all my 38 materials out of sight, I opened the 39 . To my astonishment, my father came in .
Immediately I wanted to show him the paintings, but I was 40 to destroy his Christmas surprise. Yet something 41 me to share the gifts with him. After making him promise to keep it secret, I 42 he keep his eyes closed until I had the portraits set on easels(画架). “Okay, Daddy. Now you can 43 !”
He appeared dazed at first. Finally , he said, “I don’t believe it. The eyes are so 44 that they follow you everywhere—and look how 45 your mother is. Will you let me have them 46 ?”
Excited with his response, I happily volunteered to 47 them to the frame shop the next day. Several weeks passed. Then one night the 48 rang—my father had a stroke(中风). He died the next day, and it seemed all 49 escaped from the life of my mother and me .
I finally remembered to 50 about the framed portraits. I was surprised when the shopkeeper told me my father had visited the shop, 51 for the framing and had them gift-wrapped.
52 we had lost our loved people, everyone gathered on Christmas Day making an effort to be 53 . As I looked into my mother’s sad eyes and unsmiling face, I decided to give her Daddy’s and my 54 . After she saw it, with a wide smile, she quickly said, “I knew Daddy would be with us on Christmas Day!”
I glanced at the gift card written in my father’s 55 . “ Mother—Our daughter reminded me why I am so blessed. I’ll be always looking at you.—Daddy.”

When Emily Beardmore first heard that a trip was being planned by the biology class at Windsor High School, she thought about how much fun it would be.
“I thought it would be a really good experience to go with other friends and teachers to another country in an environment other than a vacation environment,” the 17-year-old girl said.
A few months later, Emily got her chance when she and 14 of her classmates, along with biology teacher Tamara Pennington went to Costa Rica for eight days in late May.
“It was not just a tour,” said Pennington, who organized the trip. “You can go any place in the world on just a tour. This one was really working with the sea turtles (海龟) and practicing conservation(保护). It just seemed like the perfect science field trip for kids who think they want to get into science to see what it's really like to be out in the field and enjoy themselves.”
Emily said her time on the turtle program, which was the focus of the trip, was “crazy.”“We were walking on the beach at night and you can’t see anything—just see a big black dot.” She said with a laugh. “I was not expecting the turtles to be that big.” The turtles are leatherback turtles, which are becoming extinct (灭绝) because their eggs are used as food.
“When they would move their legs while laying their eggs they were really hard to control because they were a lot more powerful than you would imagine,” Emily said.
Once the eggs were collected, the students took them back to a hatchery(孵化场) and dug holes to copy the hole the mother turtle had made and then buried the eggs for the 60 days needed to hatch.
“The experience was so cool,” Emily said. “You go to another country to see what their culture is like and learn what their everyday lives are like. It made me really want to help out my mom a lot more than I do, and value what I have.”
