【题目】Dear Dad,

Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. I wanted to buy one for you, but none of the cards could say what I really want to say to you. So I wrote the letter.

I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with you. You know, dad, I was naughty(淘气> when I was young, I often made mistakes and you were always angry with me. For a long time, I thought you didn’t love me.

I remember once I stole a candy in a supermarket. I just felt it was fun. But you made me take it back, apologize to the man and pay for it.

At my birthday parties, you never played games with me, or said Happy Birthday. You were just busy blowing up balloons, setting up tables, and helping mom cook food.

I also remember when mom asked you to teach me how to ride a bike, I told you to held the bike, but you refused. I fell and cried. You just told me to try again instead of helping me.

When I was in a middle school, there was hard time between us. We didn’t agree with each other. We often argued about hairstyles, clothing, music and many other things.

Time goes by, I am a father now. when my son does the same things as I used to do, I understand you and understand a father’s love. I have realized how much I missed. Tomorrow will be Father’s Day. I hope it’s never too late to say I love you.

Happy Father’s Day!

Love from

Paul

【题目】 Wonder why can get mad so easily while your friend smiles all the time? It’s probably because you both have difference personalities(性格>.

Personality is also about how people think, behave, and react (反应> to everything around them from day to day.

So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?

Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type, genes (基因> and other physical things when it’s still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.

But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点>. Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.

If you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.

Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change lifelong(终生的> habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!

【题目】Simple things that are super complex

● Defining (定义) the word “the” is really difficult.

The word “the” is one of the most common words in the English language and most of us have probably never stopped to think about how strange of a word it actually is. A dictionary lists more than twenty different ways the word can be used in a sentence correctly, which makes an exact definition of the word much more difficult to explain.

● There’s no theory (理论) accepted by everyone on how bikes work.

Bicycles have existed (存在) for over 100 years, and scientists have been discussing about how exactly they work, or more specifically, how they stay upright, almost since they were first invented. But there’s no exact answer to it. And because bicycle dynamics (动态) isn’t exactly an area of science into which researchers like to spend time, it’s highly impossible that we’ll know for sure anytime soon.

● Yawning (打哈欠)

Yawning is a puzzling phenomenon (现象). Even that act of talking about it is simple enough to make some people do it. There is really no other bodily function quite like it. In fact, there is no theory for we yawn, which is agreed upon by everyone. As for why yawning is contagious (传染), no one knows that either.

【题目】Four years ago, I, a 17-year-old girl, arrived at Wellesley College. I cried when my parents dropped me off in my dormitory (宿舍). I thought to myself, “This is what loneliness feels like.” Just at that time, I had forgotten how excited I was for college.

Four years has nearly passed, I am now 21 years old, just two months from graduating from college. Once again, I have reached a critical juncture (紧要关头) in my life where I am going to be alone in a new way.

In four years, I have experienced a lot, happy time, sad moment and ordinary days. How grateful I am for the ones who have shown me the way and taught me to be strong when I felt hopeless. How lucky I am to know that I have a home to return to, a home where chaos (混乱) and arguments may occur, but where I still feel safe. A place where I am loved unconditionally, regardless of my mistakes.

Tomorrow, my mother turns 50. It is because of my mother that I’ve learned to love myself, to respect myself, and above all, to be a good person. It is because of her that even throughout all of my hardships and struggles, I have known that giving up is not and will not ever be a choice. It is because of her that I have truly learned the lesson that age is only a number, and what matters is your spirit and character.

My mother and I have sometimes clashed (冲突) head. She is the strongest person I know, the person who I disagree most. She has told me that I am the only person that is responsible for my life. But today I have to tell her that she has been wrong.

She doesn’t realize that there is another person who will never leave me. There’s another person who will always there for me and who will love me forever. That person is her. She is the first person I will call when I am sad, in trouble, or feeling blue. She will never lie to me to spare my feelings (不使我伤心).

I have come so far these fast four years. I still have a long life to live. A life that I hope will be full of adventure, success, and happiness. Although my mum was right when telling me that I am the only one responsible for what happens in my life. Mom, you’ve helped me so far. You are my hero. One day I hope to be like you.
