When I was 18 years old, one morning, my father told me to drive him into a town, about 40 miles away. I had just learned to 36,so I agreed with pleasure. When we came to the town, something was wrong with the car. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it  37 and promised to pick Dad up at 4 pm. Because I had a few hours to spend, I decided to go to the  38 .However I became   39 interested in the film that I forgot the time. When the last film finished, it was 6 o’clock.
I was afraid Dad would be  40 and never let me drive again, so I drove back quickly to meet Dad and made an excuse(借口) 41 my being late. I’ll never forget the cry he gave me: “I’m disappointed that I feel you have to tell a lie to me, Jack. I’m angry, not with  42 but with myself. I have failed  43 I’ve brought up a son who can not even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about  44 I have done wrong all these years.” 
Dad began  45 along the road. I begged(乞求)all the way, telling him how I drove behind him for 40 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most unforgettable lesson. I have never told a lie to him ever since.

On 26th January, the biggest earthquake (地震) in India took the lives of 25, 000 people. In the morning, when everybody was enjoying holiday, earthquake began. It was about 7. 5 on the Ritcher scale. "There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down, " said one of the villagers alive. "There is no water, no food and no one has come to help. "
Nobody died in Pakistan, a country next to India. The City of Lahore was lucky. In Lahore American School, where I was studying, all of the students were safe. They were on the field, so most children didn't feel anything. The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However, though Mrs Young was also on the second floor, she didn't feel anything. She didn't know what happened until a teacher told her about it. Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr Emond, the maths teacher from Australia, said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him, but then another teacher said that it was an earthquake. After those words Mr Emond felt better. Mrs Davis and Mr Frost didn't feel anything either.
My mother didn't feel anything. She didn't even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking (moving from side to side) light. My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many people going out.
