Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I 16 a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more responsible. It’s round in the center with two silver bands(带) that 17 around my wrist and all of it is made of silver.
I received this 18 on a gray – sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to 19 up my Uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. 20 , I was late because I was 21 out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I 22 my uncle, but I was very late for him. He had 23 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm that day and felt ashamed of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 24 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 25 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and 26 apologized for not meeting my Uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 27 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your action.” 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 28 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 29 .
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is 30 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

I was coaching girls' track in Iowa and there was a young discus(铁饼)thrower on the team with 21 potential(潜力). Here goes her story.
At the end of our training 22 the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she 23 come to the school on Sunday for a little 24 training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and 25 missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event, 26 that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had 27 been between 106’1” and 110’10”.
Something began to 28 me. Why couldn't Lucy 29 to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier(心理的障碍) 30 a physical one. I decided to try something 31 . I made up my mind to 32 to Lucy.
On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to 33 ?” She began to throw again, but 34 were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the 35 one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is 36 ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in 37 .
The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy 38 with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had 39 thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.
