More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very   31 , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for    32 , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted   33 . If he ever noticed or was    34 , he never showed that he knew.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine   35   － and because of that, we didn’t say much   36   we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our   37   walk was to or from the subway, which was   38   he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would   39   it to the office even if others could not. A matter of   40 .
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or   41 . What he looked for   42   others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the   43   was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper   44   by which to judge people, even though I   45   don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is.   46   I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he   47   I was unwilling to be seen with him during our   48 . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling   49   to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to   50   my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

The first time I decided to leave home was when 1 was in high schoo1．1 was having trouble getting along will my parents．I had about a hundred dollars in my pocket，and so I thought about leaving home, It took me 6my three weeks away from home when I stared to feel homesick. Living on my own is a totally different experience for three main reasons：being more responsible, more decisive and more creative
First of all，I have learned that living on my own requires that I become more responsible．My parents usually tell me to carry out my work and duties almost every day．men I fail to do the work，I only get scolded. However now that I am on my own，I get to deal with my duties without being told to．When I fail to do my duties，I must also deal with the result by myself
Another different experience for me while living on my own is that now I have become more decisive. ·I have to be more careful since I am on my own because my parents are not here to give me their advice. I must make my own decisions．For example，I must make the best decisions for myself without hurting anybody’s feelings and without my parents，guidance．
Therefore，I became more creative just by living on my own．I could make my own future plan-l have made rules for myself to follow．This to me is a good experience，because I usually think that being creative is the．nicest thing in the world．However, when 1 was with my parents
l found it hard for me to be creative simply because I always followed their ideas．
In conclusion，these are the things that usually happen when I am with my parents and when I am alone. Besides，I think that it is better for everyone to love their parents and themselyes before they love anyone else．They should leam how to live on their own. but meanwhile learn how to follow every technique that was given to them by their Parents．They can make use of their freedom of choice to lead to wherever they want。

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words, “a brilliantly（精彩地）written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten . But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either )and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in –depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).

1.How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A．By judging his manner of speaking.

B．By looking into his background.

C．By mentioning a famous name.

D．By discussing the book itself.

2.Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?

A．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.

B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

C．The author admitted having read 9 books.

D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

3.By lying about reading, a person hopes to.

A．control the conversation

B．appear knowledgeable

C．learn about the book

D．make more friends

4.What is the author’s attitude to 58%of readers?

A．Favorable.

B．Uncaring

C．Doubtful

D．Friendly
