Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed. We couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing. I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that mountain, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got knew hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the sky in my life, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).

Family Matters
Oliver Darrow, actor, talks about his daughter, Carmen.
72 It might have been nice to have more. I would have liked a son,but we just had Carmen.
I see her as my best friend. I think she always comes to me first if she has a problem. We have the same sense of humour and share many interests,except that she’s crazy about animals,obsessed with them-she has always had dogs,cats,and horses in her life.
73 That’s when they need their parents most.But as soon as Carmen went to school,she seemed to grow up and grow apart from her family, and any father finds it difficult with a teenage daughter. She was very moody and had an odd group of friends. There was an endless stream of strange young men coming to our house. I remember I once got annoyed with her in front of her friends and she didn’t talk to me for days.
74 We sent her to a good school, but she wasn’t happy there. She left because she wanted to become an actress. So with my connections I got her into drama school. but she didn’t like that either. She worked for a while,doing small roles in films, but she must have found it boring because she gave it up,though she never really said why. She got married a few years ago; her husband’s a vet. They must be happy because they work together. and she loves animals.
We have the same tastes in books and music,When she was younger I used to take her to the opera-that’s nay passion-but she can’t have liked it very much because she hasn’t come with me for years. I don’t think she goes to the cinema or watches TV much. She might watch my films. but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she talks to me about.
75 .She’s a good daughter, but I don’t think she likes my new wife very much because she doesn’t visit us very often. I’m looking forward to being a grandfather one day. I hope she’ll have a son.
