It was a perfect day, just the right kind of day to go fishing.
My 13-year-old son Jonathan and I had been 26 this trip for weeks, and now we were sitting on the shore of a beautiful lake.
We 27 and talked, and then, suddenly, I saw small 28 where my float(浮子) had been. I waited, 29 it would pop right back up again, but the 30 stayed underneath the water and my heart started to beat 31 . After a few more seconds, my fishing rod was suddenly pulled off the stick it was leaning on 32 me and it was being dragged towards the water.
I firmly caught hold of the fishing rod and lifted it up. This fish was 33 ! Slowly, my son balanced on two rocks and leaned down to get the giant off the fishhook.
For just one second, he lost his 34 and reached up with his right hand to steady 35 . At that moment, our huge fish got off the fishing line and started to swim 36 .
I saw tears streaming down Jonathan’s face. “Dad, I’m sorry. I’ll never be able to 37 this up to you.” I reached out and put my hands on his shoulders. I said the following 38 almost without thinking. “Jon, how did you feel 39 I was reeling(往卷轴上绕起) that fish in? Were you excited?” He nodded and said, “ Dad, I’ve never been so 40 in my whole life!” I replied, “ Jon, wasn’t that about the most fun thing we’ve ever done together?” He nodded his head in 41 . Then I said, “So, why should we let a fish getting away 42 possibly the best experience we’ve ever had? Let’s be happy about the fun we did have.”
My son, 43 his arms around me and said, “ Dad, I love you so much!” I 44 him back and said softly into his ear, “I love you too, Jon.”
We 45 did catch that big fish. But I’ve known ever since that I didn’t let the most important thing get away that day.

repeatedly stabbed (刺) him with sharp needles, causing blood to pour
steadily out of his leg. Jack was getting a tattoo. His friend Tony had
recently gotten a tattoo, and Jack was so impressed by it that he
decided to get one too. Peer pressure, media
influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons for
wearing tattoos today.
The desire to be accepted by one’s friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. Some of these groups wear only brand – name clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a person’s friends are all doing something, that person in more likely to do the same thing.
The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media images(人物,图像) show tattoos-people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars, famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines, fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value.
Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings-in other words, to show their individuality(个性). A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life.
As you can see, there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos. A tattoo can be part of a group's uniform, a sign of fashion. or an expression of individuality. The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself. For Jack, it was a mixture of all three.
