We were very 1 . We said goodbye and went on our way. But at home we often treat our family in a different way.2 that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very 3.

What's a good friend like? One may have different answers to this question at different ages.
When he is very young, he may think a good friend must be together with him all day. And they can share everything together. If his friend doesn't give him food to eat even once, he won't think they are good friends any more. But they will play together happily again very soon.
When he grows older and studies in a middle school, his idea about a good friend changes. He thinks a good friend should be helpful and honest. A good friend should always help him with his lessons. A good friend should come to him when he is sad. And he is always ready to tell everything to his friend. If his friend tells others about his secrets, he may hate the friend.
When he grows up, he may not think it's necessary for a good friend to be always honest. Everyone has his secrets. If the truth may hurt the friend, it's better to keep it secret from him than tell him about it. And he may think a good friend can give him some good advice when he has problems. He comes to understand that he shouldn't just ask friends for help and that he should also learn to do something for his friends.
As the taxi leaves, my father stands at the living room window looking out, watching me move off into the darkness, at 4:30 a. m. His grey hair is untidy from sleeping.
Moments ago, he got up to carry my bag for me and went into the cold open air.
He thanked me for a daughter's cooking and for having traveled so far to spend the holiday with him. I told him that I worried he would feel lonely again in the empty house.
“I have my plans, “he said, in the moments before I walked out the door.
When I arrived 10 days ago, I felt it was quiet and lifeless in the house. Then my brothers and I came and filled the rooms. But now, they're gone. I am the last to leave.
As the taxi began to move, I watched the lights go off, but my father didn't leave. Even though he couldn't see me in the dark, he stood by the window watching, beside the tree. It was a fresh tree. He buys one every year for the new year.
The life is hard for my father: my mother died years ago, and now his children are far from home, our selfish choices (选择) taking us from one end of the country to the other. The life of the tree, cut for Christmas, is short. My father's is long and strong. But both of them are all and straight.
I leave behind two trees:one with silver grey hair, the other still freshly green.
In a town in France, there was a farmer who lived a. Every day he sold (卖) a pound of butter to his neighbour, who was a baker. One day the bake d to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound. After he weighed it, he found that he wasn't. The baker then took the farmer to the judge (法官) .

So now every time when I b home the bread from the baker, I put it on the scale and give him the butter of the same w. “
We always get back what we give to others. Whenever you take action, ask yourself this question, “Am I h?”
