Yesterday was Father’s Day. Many things happening between my father and me crowded my mind. But one thing made a deep impression on me.

It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a ____ mood (情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me.I was in my room_____ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “ Want to go for a ride today,Berk? It's a beautiful day.”

“No! Leave me alone!”Those were the ____words I said to him that morning.

My friends called and ____ me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be_____with them and then went with them.When I came home,I found a ___ on the table.My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “ Dad has had an ____ . Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”

When I reached the hospital ,my mother came out and told me a car hit my father and his injuries were extensive(大曲积的). “Your father told the driver to leave_____ alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy,….”

My mother may have said more,but I didn't hear. I didn't hear anything ___ those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to ___ himself. He didn't want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him ____ I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?

It was several days later that he was ___ able to have a talk.I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

“ Daddy...I am so sorry...''

“It's okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”

“No,” I said, “I mean about_____ I said to you that day.You know, that morning?"

He looked at me and said, “ Sweetheart, I remember ____ about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember telling you goodnight the night before,though." He managed a weak smile.

My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal(治愈).And we all have the power to ____ our words.I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

There once lived a young man who thought himself to be poor. One day he went to a wise man(智者) to ask how to become rich. The wise man said,“Young man, you are already rich now.”

“But where is my wealth(财富)?” the young man asked.

“It is with you. Your eyes are your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see all the beautiful things in this world. Your feet are your wealth. You can go to any place...” the wise man said.

“You call these wealth? But everyone has them,” the young man said.

“These are wealth. What you have now is not what someone else can luckily have. Are you willing to give your eyes to me? I’m willing to give you a lot of money to exchange for them,” the wise man said.
