My life is always full of sadness and little joy. However, no matter(无论) what happens, I can always face it bravely.

Last year,  I couldn’t believe the   1   that I could enter the only key high school in my hometown.  Then I rushed to my home and told my parents.  But my father didn’t  seem as    2        as I was. He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn’t help   3  .

I knew very well what my family was   4___ . My mum had been ill in bed for 2 years. We lived a hard life and I couldn’t continue my schooling. I felt so upset(心烦意乱) but I could say   5    to my parents. I decided to help my father with his work   6   my family.

To my surprise, things completely changed   7     the beginning of the new term. My head teacher came to my family with some money, which was   8     by my schoolmates. He encouraged me, “Always have a dream.” With tears in my eyes, I stepped into the key high school.

I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. No matter when I meet difficulties, I always   9     my teacher and schoolmates. I have a college dream and I must work hard for it, no matter how  10    life is. Just as a great man says, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.”

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I __31__ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could __32__ have that money.

　　On my birthday my parents told me they had my __33__ outside in the back yard. At once, I __34__ out to the yard. There was my bike, __35__ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so __36__! I thought I __37__ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment __38__ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I __39__ the old bike and rode it, feeling __40__ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’ t __41__.

　　As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me __42__ much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about __43__. When you give something out of love, it doesn’ t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this __44__ because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that __45__ two dollars isn’t any less valuable（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
