When I was a boy,I didn't have a smart phone.Home computers were unheard of.And our television could only get one channel in clearly.__1__,I was never bored.When spring arrived I pulled out my bike and rode.I would ride for hours,feel the __2__ on my face and laugh with joy as I rode down the hills.When summer came I __3__ in the local pool or the river down the hill every day.I never got sunburned because I was never out of the water long enough.When it was autumn,my friends and I played football for hours every day.And when the __4__ fell down from the trees,we swept them into huge golden and red piles(堆)to __5__ in.The cold of winter didn't __6__ the fun,either.My brothers and I would have snowball fights or hike into the woods to __7__ our Christmas tree.Later I sat in my favorite chair by the warm stove and read books that could carry my __8__ away to different lands and endless adventures.
Those simple pleasures always brought me so much fun,so much laughter,and so much happiness.

I __9__ her the small card from my wallet.
When the woman read the two __10__ on the card,she began to cry.Through her tears,she said,“You have no idea how much this __11__ to me.”
To tell the truth,her reply was a little __12__.Having never done anything like this before,I didn't know what could happen.All I could say was,“Would it be OK to give you a hug?”
After that,I walked into my car and began to __13__,too.
The words on the card
“You Matter.”
A few weeks earlier,a friend gave me a similar __14__ as encouragement for my work.When I read it,I really felt __15__.So I ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.

In the book,there was a story from a movie star's journal.The __2__ teacher said,“Let's pick a student to read the story.” I looked down as soon as I heard that.I was a __3__ boy and hardly answered questions in class.I just __4__ that my teacher wouldn't ask me to read it.
__5__,the teacher said,“You!” Everybody looked around.I looked behind me,but then she looked right at me and said,“You!” I was too __6__ to do anything and just stood there.Seeing that,the teacher came to me,put her hand on my shoulder and said,“Look at your hair and your jacket.They are fashionable.
And look at your face.You're a __7__ boy,just like the movie star.I'm sure you can do a good job.”
What she said __8__ me.I finally took my book and started __9__.But I read in a very low voice.The teacher stopped me.I couldn't help shaking.I was __10__ that she would scold me.But to my __11__,she didn't.Instead,she said,“Your pronunciation is very good.I really love your voice.But it would be better if you read more __12__ and with more emotion.” I was encouraged and raised my voice.This time,I read much better.
When I finished,the teacher __13__ me.You can imagine how __14__ I felt.Though the teacher only taught us one class,I would never forget her.A teacher who is full of love can give students confidence and brighten their study life.Thanks to her __15__,I'm no longer afraid of answering questions in class.

When I was a boy,I didn't have a smart phone.Home computers were unheard of.And our television could only get one channel in clearly.__1__,I was never bored.When spring arrived I pulled out my bike and rode.I would ride for hours,feel the __2__ on my face and laugh with joy as I rode down the hills.When summer came I __3__ in the local pool or the river down the hill every day.I never got sunburned because I was never out of the water long enough.When it was autumn,my friends and I played football for hours every day.And when the __4__ fell down from the trees,we swept them into huge golden and red piles(堆)to __5__ in.The cold of winter didn't __6__ the fun,either.My brothers and I would have snowball fights or hike into the woods to __7__ our Christmas tree.Later I sat in my
favorite chair by the warm stove and read books that could carry my __8__ away to different lands and endless adventures.
Those simple pleasures always brought me so much fun,so much laughter,and so much happiness. There was __9__ to be bored about because there was __10__ something to do,something to enjoy,and something to love.I feel a bit __11__ for the children today because they are spending so much time watching and so little time __12__.
One thing I am sure of is that even in this technological world,the simple pleasures of life can still calm your soul.A hug still __13__ your heart.A walk in the woods still calms your spirit.Petting a dog,playing a game,holding a hand,and saying “__14__” still make you feel happy.Just enjoy the __15__ pleasures of life.

My father retired(退休)young because of heart problems.To help __1__ the time,he volunteered at my high school as a doorkeeper.Through my first week as a freshman,almost each of my teachers asked if I was Wayne's daughter.When I said yes,they usually __2__ with something like this,“Your dad is such a nice guy.”
I __3__ met any teacher who said he didn't like my dad.When someone needed a place for their kids to stay while they were __4__,my dad volunteered to be the babysitter.In summer,our pool became the community pool with my dad as the guard.He was surrounded by noisy kids all day,__5__ he loved every minute of it.
I don't remember if I ever told my father I loved him.Sometimes we'd get into stupid __6__ about some small things.One night,I was so __7__ that I shouted to my father,“Dad,you're a jerk,and I hate you!” And then I cried myself to sleep.But the next day when I got up,I didn't even remember our fight the __8__ before.We always forgot about our arguments(争吵)because they were pretty __9__.
At 4:00,I was in my math class when my mother came to find me.I was told Dad had passed away(去世)because of a second heart attack.It was the __10__ day of my life.I nervously thought about the past weekend and what I did with Dad,trying hard to __11__ his last few days.My tears came out endlessly(止不住地)down my __12__,remembering my last words to him was “I hate you”.
I thought that I would never get into another stupid fight __13__ him and I would never get the __14__ to say sorry to my dad.Please make it so if it isn't too __15__ for you to say “I love you” to your dad,your mom,your friends and your family.Make it so to let them know you love them.
