Mr and Mrs White had two sons and three daughters. One Sunday Mrs White said to her husband, “The children don’t have any lessons today, and you’re free too. There’s a new funfair(游乐场) in the park. Let’s all go there to play.”

Her husband said, “I want to finish some work today.” “Oh, forget it. Go there and make our children happy. That’s the most important work.” Mrs White said.

So Mr and Mrs White took their children to the funfair. Mr White was 45 years old, but he enjoyed the funfair more than his children. He hurried from one thing to another, and ate lots of sweets. One of his children said to his mother, “Dad is just like a small child, isn’t he, mom?” Mrs White didn’t want to follow his husband around any more at that time and answered, “He is even worse than a small child, Mary, because he might spend more money than a small child.”

One year ago all eyes were on Beijing．The excitement of the 2008 Olympics was going up day by day． Then something happened --- the earthquake．Our eyes turned quickly from Beijing towards Sichuan．Day after day we watched the terrible pictures on television．They went into our hearts．

But our spirits were also lifted as we saw so many ordinary people become heroes．Many people saved the lives of others without thinking about themselves． Soon people from all over the country were trying to help． Some traveled to Sichuan to save people, others sent food, water and clothes．And it seemed that everyone tried their best to donate money．

The Sichuan earthquake was a terrible thing but it did teach us some useful lessons．First, it taught us the importance of helping others．Without everyone joining together the things were much worse． It also taught us to love our friends and family．We realized that the people we love so much could be taken from us very quickly．

We also learned to respect （尊重） the power of nature．The earth is our home but it can sometimes be a dangerous place to live．Earthquakes, floods and droughts can happen at any time．We can’t do anything about that, but we do have the power to show our respect for nature by not causing pollution．That may be the most useful lesson of all．
