  “Dad's dead, ” sighed my brother not long after dad went back to Denmark.

  I was   7   and just cried for the loss of my dad.This isn't the   8   it's supposed to happen.If I had known these were to be dad's final days, I would have asked to go with him to Denmark.If I had been really listening and thinking, I would have offered comfort during his final hours.After all, a loved one should hold his hand and   9   him as he makes the transition(过渡)from reality to another world.Dad   10   his departure(离开)repeatedly, but I   11   it.I felt sadness, pain and regret.Why had I not been there for him? He'd always been there for me.In the mornings when I was nine years old, he   12   come home from working 18 hours and   13   me up by patting my back lightly with his strong powerful hands and whispering, “Time to get up, Son.”   14   I was dressed and ready to go, he had put my schoolbag in my bicycle basket.Recalling these   15   moments with dad brings tears to my eyes.

  Now my heart is still in   16   because dad was there for me and I wasn't there for him.My hearty   17   is:always, always seize the moment to   18   your love with your loved ones, and keep them   19   when they leave the world.Experiencing the   20   of death with one you love will make you understand the meaning of life better.

School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat in the very front of the   36  because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting at the front makes you   37  out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.

One very cold day,a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood,I quickly set out with my best friend,Bruce,to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along with. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of danger.
When I chose a big tree about 23 meters tall and prepared to cut it down,my best friend suddenly warned me,“Don’t cut down that tree!It’s too close to the power line!﹙电线﹚”I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell,there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.
The tree caught the power line,bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all,electricity can’t travel through wood,so I could safely remove the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree,pain ran up my arm and through my head. I was shocked!
After I returned home and told my mother what had happened,she quickly called the power company. The workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree,and when I told him I had,his face turned pale.
“You should have been killed,” he said.
So why am I still alive?It was my boots that saved my life.
Within two hours,the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed downbut not my mother.
Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt,my mother was still serious. After all,I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.
Through this experience,I learn it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective. Taking time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock” of my life.
