I never got along well with Dad. But when he was dying, I set off for Nebraska to be with him and my family. I stopped for the night at a hotel with a pool, hoping a swim would relax me.
The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the pool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. ‘Where are you going?’ he asked. When I told him something about my father, he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject, but then for some reason, I told him everything.
Finally the man said, ‘Even with all the trouble, remember, your father still loves you.’ All at once, warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back: Dad running alongside my wobbling (摇摆的) bicycle, the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation, his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle(挠痒). ‘Yes, I know he does love me,’ I heard myself say. And for the first time these years I believed it. The man left, leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.
Back in my room, as I went to bed, I decided it was time to forgive（原谅） my father. Then I wished he’d forgiven me too. The phone bell woke me up at 3 a.m. My sister’s voice sent a shock (寒战) through me: Dad had just died. I had wanted to see him and make peace. But as my sadness grew, I remembered that the man by the pool had already brought Dad and me together.

June is always a sad time for Senior Three students. After taking the big test, they leave to  31    their dreams in different ways. It’s hard time when students    32  to say goodbye to carefree high school days and close friends.
People always say that teenage friendships are the most precious. Kids are too young to understand real friendship while adults    33  to relate it to fame and wealth.
Things are    34  with high school best friends. We share each other’s secret. We discuss news from all walks of life and begin to    35  our values. We support each other on the journey to the biggest    36   in our lives. We also share success and failure. The seeds of friendship become deeply rooted.
Many of us don’t realize this ­­­   37   we enter society. One of my friends, Yang Ping,    38  how strong the bond with high school friends could be. “ It was my high school friend who helped me    get    39  the darkest days in my life,” said the 27-year-old girl.
In 2001 Yang lost her job in Beijing. Yang’s best friend was staying in a college dormitory and took her in. Each night the two girls squeezed into a narrow single bed, chatting and crying. “I’ll never forget her care and encouragement, which supported me out of the darkness,” said Yang.
I    40   remember my last days in Senior 3. At the time, I    41   a 20-page message with my best friend, both of us hoping to keep the friendship    42   forever.
But we didn’t realize we were already deep in each other’s    43   . During the past ten years, whenever I’ve needed help or wanted to pour out my    44  , she has always been there at the other end of a telephone line.
It is true that friends come and go. But never forget the ones who have been there for you. Take a closer look at those now around you, they could be the most precious     45  you discover in your entire life.
