As I sat beside the window that afternoon, my heart began to sink further with each passing car. This was a day I’d looked forward to for weeks: Miss Pace’s end-of-the-year party. I had   21   volunteered my mother when Miss Pace

requested  22   volunteers. By two o’clock other mother had come with their offerings, but there was no   23  of her. As the noisy party went on, I wouldn’t  24    the window, watching outside and holding out hope that Mum would come soon. The three o’clock bell soon woke me from my thoughts and I took my book bag and  25    out of the door for home.

On the walk home, I planned my revenge(报复). I would shut the front door angrily upon entering,  26   to return her hug when she rushed over to me, and vow(发誓)   27   to speak to her again. The house was    28  when I arrived. I was lying face-down on my bed, shaking with a mixture of heartbreak and 29  .

When she returned, entered my room and sat beside me, I didn’t   30   but instead

stared into my pilliow refusing to accept her presence. “I’m so sorry, honey,” she said. “I just   31  . I got busy and forgot.” I still didn't move. “Don't    32  her,”I told myself. “She forgot you. Make her   33  .” Then my mother did something completely   34  . She began to laugh. I rolled over and faced her,   35  to let her see the anger and disappointment in my   36  . But soon I found my mother wasn’t laughing at all, actually. “I’m so sorry,” she said, in tears, “I let my little boy   37  .” she sank down on the bed and began to cry like a little girl. I was shocked   38   I had never seen my mother cry . To my understanding, mothers weren’t supposed to. “It’s okay, Mom,” I said, “we didn’t even   39  those cookies. Don’t cry. It’s all right. Really.” My words made my mother sit up. She    40  her  eyes,and a slight smile appeared. I smiled back awkwardly(局促不安)， and she pulled me th her.

I used to live in a separate room. I loved living   36  . But one day it all changed when my brother Mike asked to  37  my room. At first, my parents said “no” to him, but at last my mother  38  . I cried and begged my parents not to do this, 39  it didn’t work.

As soon as Mike entered my room, my room began to become  40  . To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes everywhere!

One evening, I was doing my homework on my computer while Mike was listening to music. Later, I left my  41  to get some water. A shock was  42  me when I returned. He had used my computer to play games. I had  43    to save the homework. Sadly, he closed the program  44  saving it--- all my effort had disappeared! I shouted at him at the top of my  45  . He cried a lot as my mother   46  him. My mother also asked him to leave my room  47  .

Then I did my homework once again. At 11:00PM, I  48  it. I was about to turn off my computer when I saw the  49  of my brother that he had put on my table. I looked at his lovely face and remembered how he was crying when my mom punished him. I really felt  50  for him.

I went to him. He was  51  in my parents’ bed. I kissed his forehead. He woke up, 52  and said, “I’m sorry, I won’t bring you  53  again.”

I was so  54   and I hugged him, saying, “From now on, my room is not only  55  . It is ours!”

The sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sounds just exactly as it did 15 years ago, which reminded me of my girlhood.

It was my second day of 26 and it was raining heavily. I could not 27 the habit I had at home , so I fell asleep right at my 28 . I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad’s back. We were 29 home. It was the last time I felt 30 to him.

After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered much by this 31 . I was proud of it, for I felt 32 and “grown up.” However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought 33 from him.

One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, 34 me scratching (乱涂，勾抹) the paper. Then he said, “This kind of writing needs 35 .Your writing is not strong enough. Press harder.”

I follow his 36 for the next two words, but 37 I could see little improvement, I followed my own method the 38 way. His advice did not improve my writing but our 39 . As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his 40 in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in town then, so he was considered to be a 41 . People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.

He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to depend on you. We are 42 to improve you anything for your future .You have to get 43 to change the life for yourself.”
