　　In our home it was natural to fear our father．Even our mother was afraid of him．As children, my sister and I thought every family was like that ----- that every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossible to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children．We were good children．Mom was always telling us we were, even if daddy couldn't see it．

　　Then came the day we found something new and fun to do．We discovered we could draw pictures with chalk on our wooden front door．We could have lots of fun, so we set to work drawing and making lots of pretty pictures all over it．We had a great time．We decided to finish our pictures, knowing mom would just love them．

　　The praise we expected did not come．We did not understand why, but we knew all about anger, and that we were in big trouble! Off we ran to find a place to hide．In our wooded yard it was not hard for two small children to find safety．Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move．Soon we heard the frightened voices of mom and our neighbors calling out to us．We were afraid we would be found．The sun set, and it began to get dark．Those around us became more anxious, and we became more frightened．As we stayed together in the dark, we heard another voice, one we recognized with great fear：our daddy．But there was something strangely different about it．In it we heard something we had never heard before：fear and despair．Our daddy with tears running down his face, promising God his life for the safe return of his girls．

　　Things were different after that．We had a new daddy; it was as if the old one had been buried that day in the yard．Our whole family had been changed by one piece of chalk．

　　Once upon a time, the colors of the world started to quarrel．Green said．“Clearly I am the most important．I am the sign of life and hope．I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves．Without me, all animals would　　1　　．”

　　Blue broke in,“You only think about the　　2　　, but consider the sky and the sea．It is the water that is the　　3　　of life．The sky gives space and peace．Without my peace, you would all be　　4　　．”

　　Yellow chuckled(轻声发笑),“The sun is yellow．Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile．It is I that bring laughter, fun, and　　5　　into the world．”

　　Orange started to blow her trumpet, “I carry the most important vitamins．Think of carrots,　　6　　and mangoes．Besides, when I fill the sky　　7　　, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another　　8　　to any of you．”

　　Red couldn’t stand it　　9　　and he shouted out, “I am the ruler of all of you．I am the color of life’s blood．I am willing to　　10　　truth．I am also the color of passion and love．”

　　Then came Purple and Indigo …

　　The colors went on quarrelling over whom is the　　11　　．Their quarrelling became louder and louder．Suddenly there was a flash of bright lightning, and thunder rolled．Rain started to pour down　　12　　 ．The colors crouched(蹲伏) down　　13　　, drawing close to one another for comfort．

　　In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷), rain began to speak, “You foolish colors, fighting　　14　　yourselves, each trying to　　15　　that he or she is better than the others．Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose,　　16　　and different? Join hands with　　17　　and come to me．”

　　Doing　　18　　they were told, the colors united and joined hands．They formed a colorful rainbow．From then on, whenever a good rain　　19　　the world, a rainbow appears in the sky．They remember to　　20　　one another．

　　No one else knew about the extra club(高尔夫球杆)in Zach Nash's golf bag．It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament(锦标赛)this summer in Wisconsin, US．

　　The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch．But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong．"Count your clubs," he told the teenager．

　　Fifteen－one more than allowed．Zach's eyes filled with tears．

　　If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence after the win, it would not have mattered．

　　Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports．It is nothing unusual for soccer players to dive to the turf(假摔)in hopes of drawing fouls(造成对方犯规)．

　　Golf is different．In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard．

　　Golf isn't a game where referees watch closely．In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot．Competitors call penalties on themselves．

　　Players feel the weight of history．Golf dates to at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime(消遣)for the wealthy who seemed to have strict codes for every occasion, even when it came to shooting at each other in fights．

　　"It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning．They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York．

　　Honesty became a symbol of honor．When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open．He replied："You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank．"

　　So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score－he never used the extra club．The teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail．"But this was golf, and rules are rules．I just knew what I had to do," he said．

　　Then came another tournament．Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs－four times．
