The person I admire most is not famous at all, yet in my mind his achievements are as important as those of any historical figure. Gary is a fellow classmate of mine at college, and for him this is a major      .
We know that Gary suffers from a      , which makes it almost impossible for him to      his movements. As a result, he will       his life in a wheelchair. He cannot write with a pen or a pencil, and speaks so slowly and strangely that it takes      to understand what he is saying.
However, behind his       appearance, Gary is a warm, fun-loving, intelligent person. His disability affects his muscles, not his mind or      . He enjoys the same things as any student does—listening to music, making      and so on—and he is not only the best student in our class, but also has a       sense of humor and genuine interest in other people.
The main      why I admire him so much is that he is determined to lead a       life, in spite of his physical difficulties he has to overcome. Although his       prevents him from going to school, he gives himself an education by studying at home. Being unable to      himself, he uses a special typewriter to write letters to his friends and beautiful poems which      the true depth of his thoughts and character. Another reason why I admire Gary is that he never feels sorry for himself. He says, for instance, that being unable to move around       gives him more time to think. In fact, he always      to see the bright side of any situation, so instead of needing his friends to       him, he actually cheers us up when we are       or depressed.
I would admire Gary       he didn’t have any disability; in fact he does, and      to let it spoil his life, which makes him the most remarkable person I have known.

Car Talk
When I got the driving license last summer, Mom and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found that my mother was not the best teacher for me. It wasn't that she shouted, or told me that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's "helpful instructions" only managed to make me more nervous.
Since I could no longer practice with her, the job was placed in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not one that thrilled me. I loved him dearly, but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked. We shared a typical father-daughter relationship. He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. Unfortunately, that was the most of our conversations. Spending hours alone with someone who might as well have been a stranger really scared me.
As we got into the car that first time, I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around, saying almost nothing, aside from a few instructions on how to turn. As my lessons went on, however, things began to change. Dad would turn the radio up so I could fully appreciate his favorite Stones music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about past failed dates, "basic body" gym class, and other tales from his past, including some of his first meeting with Mom.
Dad' s sudden chattiness was shocking until I thought about why he was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had wondered why my father never spoke that much, I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never bothered to listen. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away from him, and, consequently, I never thought my quiet father had anything to say.
Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important, though, is that my knowledge of who my father is has also increased. Just living with him wasn't enough—it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.

Children find meanings in their old family tales.  
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker,        all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times when his strong-minded grandfather was nearly         , he loaded his family into the car and          them to see family members in Canada with a         , “There are more important things in life than money.”
The          took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to a          house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was          that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t. Instead, their reaction echoed (重复) their great-grandfather’s. What they          about was how warm the people were in the house and how much of their heart was accessible.
Many parents are finding family stories have surprising power to help children through           times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon (现象) reflects a growing         in telling tales, evidenced (证明) by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.
A university          of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to          parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
The          is telling the stories in a way children can hear. We’re not talking here about the kind of story that         , “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited (适合) to the child’s         , and make eye contact to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children what they should take from the story and what the moral is.

I learned all about taking responsibility from my mother’s tough love. My mom had a wonderful way of helping you        up and realize that your life is going to be what you make it.
She had this circular way of      you took responsibility for your decisions and the person you would      . She would say,“ It' s your      .”      “What you want and what you get are sometimes two       different things.” And then, “No one ever said life was fair.” And she would      these comments together in such a way that you could never      an argument, and yet, the      was that you realized your life is going to be what you make it.
So I might go to my mom and say, “I’d like to      football”. And she would say, “Well, it's your life. If you want to go out there and get      and hurt and break your knees and limp around the rest of your life, that' s fine.” That is      I would say, “Well, you know, that won’t       . I' m really fast.” And she would reply, “Well, we don’t really have the money.” And then I would     , “Yes but that' s not fair.” And she would reply, “ Well, life isn’t      .” Then I would say, “But I’ve been itching to." And she would reply, “Yes, but what you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.”
It was the combination of these       that allowed my mother to lead me down the right path under her      but let me feel as if I was making the decisions      my own. The sum total of that    was, in the end, you’re      for the life you lead. That' s the best advice I’ve ever gotten.
