I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago. I’m the mid-field player on my team. But in fact that’s not　 1　 now. I was the mid-field player because, as I said, this was my 2　 game. That’s a good way to end a high school football career (生涯), especially if you win, but even though you don’t, it’s　 3　 to leave at a high point.

　 I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad　 4　 football, and he used to practise with me at home – passing, catching, running. We used to practise almost every evening 5　 it got too dark. He tried to teach me everything he knew about the ₆ . “Just remember: don’t ever 7 .” “Stay in the game. Don’t lose your concentration (专注).” “Go out there and give 110 percent every time.” Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words　 8　 in my ears.

　 I had a lot on my mind　 9　 the game today. I don’t like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn’t sleep at all　 10 , and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where　 11　 just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But then when the game started, my mind became　 12 . I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn’t hear the crowd, I didn’t feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the 13 , and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light 14　 me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty feeling.

　 It’s all over now, and it’s really getting cold here. It’s starting to snow. The sun’s almost gone, and I can　 15　 see the goal. Now it’s dark and I’m sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it’s time to say good-bye and move on.

One day I was watching a movie at home . Tears 　31 from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me 　32 I was crying for. I kept silent as I couldn’t explain 　33 him it was just an emotional thing. To my 34 , he touched my face with his little hand and said, “Dear Mom, stop crying! You see, everything will be fine. You are my good 　35　 .So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him say this to me, I couldn’t help laughing. It was so 　36 for a child to say so. Later I realized that he had repeated(重复) almost all 37 I had told him while he was crying one morning.

　　 The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to 　38 what his parents have been telling

him for a long time. Usually parents start with the words “Mama” , “Papa” and so on. But as the child 　39 learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being taught, we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored (教导)by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing it in a more active way than before. We 　40 use words which we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words , we 　41 where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don’t realize the child has learned the words from us only. Instead we start to put the blame(指责)on his friends , or 　42 who has talked to him when we’re not present.

　　 So if you want your child to have perfect behavior, you’ll have to 43 a good example to him. And if you can’t do that, you have no 　44 to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great 　45 over their child.

　　The summer holiday are the best part of the year for most children. The 1 is usually good, so that one can 2 most of one's time 3 in the garden or if one lives in the country, out in the 4 and fields. 5 one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a 6 to play.

　　The best place for a summer holiday, 7 , is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to 8 near the sea, but for 9 who do not. A week or two at one of the 10 towns is something 11 , they will talk about for the 12 of the following year.

　　In England, it's not only the 13 who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter 14 to take his wife and children to South end or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, 15 is usually quite able to do so.

　　Now, what is it that 16 like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun 17 , any other things. Of course, there are lots of new 18 , nice things to eat, and 19 things to do, but it is the 20 of sand under one's feet, of salt water on one's skin, and of the warm sun on one's back that make the seaside what it is.

　 Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.

I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice. I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly reached over and shut off the mete.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I pay for you?” she asked.

“Nothing.” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She hugged me tightly, too. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
