Do you believe in love at the first sight? Many people answer "No, we don't", but I say I do.why? I'll tell you my story.

    From childhood, I .like people with blue eyes. I had a few dolls and I painted their eyes blue. I was really very happy with my blue-eyed dolls. Time rushes by quickly, and soon I was not a child any more. I had finished my studies as I was 20.

    I liked to drive my father's old car. Once I went to a nearby town .I was busy that day.I left my car near the office where I had to go. In a few minutes, I came back and a young policeman was waiting for me near my car. I was not happy to see him. He tried to explain that I had parked my car in the wrong place, but I couldn't pay my attention to his words. I had to stare at his beautiful blue eyes. He repeated his words but I did not bear him well. He became serious and began to speak in a loud voice.I paid him the fine(罚款)and I said to him" Your eyes are so nice."

    He smiled and said goodbye to me.

    In the evening this blue-eyed policeman called me up. The following day we went to the cinema. After that, my story has a happy ending. We married and we now live happily together.

There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know how to be a good father. I couldn’t   16   him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seems to me his only purpose in life was to say “  17  ” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a   18  . Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. Not my dad — he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.

So that is what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and   19   every penny I could and when I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to   20   it off to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, you only need to pay me five dollars.” I offered with a smile.

“I see,” was all he said.

One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a   21   to work. The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house,   22   it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a hot day. As my dad got out of my car, I   23  him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his   24   from the truck (车尾箱) of my car. Watching his sun-weathered face, and even from a distance I could tell there were  25   lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for the family. My father is a cement finisher(水泥修整工).

Suddenly, it came up with me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete(混凝土) to make a living for his family. And he did this day in and day out,   26 hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him   27   about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he ask us to pay for it.

When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to   28   me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s my __29__. Don’t work too hard. I love you.”

His eyes met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he   30   his throat(喉咙) and said, “Oh, and… me, too.”
