Time is very important in our life. It 36 our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I 37 a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more 38 . It’s round(圆形的) in the center with two silver bands(带,条) that go 39 my wrist(手腕) and all of it is made of silver.
I received this 40 on a gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m. to 41 up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. 42 , I was late because I was 43 with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 a.m., I 44 my uncle, but I was very late for him. He had 45 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p.m. that day and felt 46 of myself at that moment. After I said hello to my 47 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Peter, did you have 48 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and 49
apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 50 was not very nice and you should feel sorry for your 51 .” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again. I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 52 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 53 .
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to 54 time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is 55 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

For some time I’ve had a church member provide me with a rose to pin on the lapel of my suit every Sunday. 【小题1】 I always got a flower on Sunday morning, I really did not think much of it. It was a nice gesture that became routine. One Sunday, 【小题2】 , what I considered ordinary became very 【小题3】 .
As I was leaving the Sunday 【小题4】 , a young boy approached and said,” Sir, what are you going to do with your flower?” At first I was confused, but then I understood. “Do you 【小题5】 this?” I said as I 【小题6】 to the rose pinned to my coat. He said, “Yes sir. I would 【小题7】 it if you are just going to throw it away.” The little boy said, “Sir, I’m going to give it to my granny. My mother and father got 【小题8】 last year. I was living with my mother, but I could not stay, so she 【小题9】 me to live with my grandmother. She has been so 【小题10】 to me that I want to give that pretty flower to her for 【小题11】 me.” When the little boy finished I could hardly 【小题12】 . My eyes were filled with tears and I knew I had been touched in the 【小题13】 of my soul. I reached up and unpinned my flower. With the flower in my hand, I looked at the boy and said, “Son, that is the nicest thing I have 【小题14】 heard, but you can’t have this flower because it’s not 【小题15】 . If you’ll look in front of the pulpit(布道讲坛), you’ll see a big bouquet of flowers. Different families buy them for the 【小题16】 each week. Please take those flowers to your granny because she 【小题17】 the very best.”
【小题18】 I hadn’t been touched enough already, he made one last 【小题19】 and I will always cherish it. He said, ”What a wonderful day! I 【小题20】 one flower but got a beautiful bouquet!”
