Five years ago, my mother gave birth to a brother for me when I was 8. I have learned a lot from getting along with him.
After he was born, I almost became a babysitter. I had to amuse him after school. I would make faces and sing to him when he was crying. Sometimes I even carried him everywhere in our yard to refresh him while my parents were busy. What I liked to do best was to feed him when looking after him. How cute he was as he tasted his favorite food!My parents often praised me happily, “As an elder brother, you've made contributions to looking after your younger brother.”
I have got happiness from sharing. When I was young, I was the only child in my family. I could get what I wanted from my parents and get my parents' whole love. I was a “Little Emperor”.
But now, as long as I get something good, I will share it with him. I remembered the year when he was three, he was fond of Rubik's cubes(魔方).I bought one for him with my lucky money as a birthday present. When he got the toy, he was so happy that he laughed, hugged me and said,“Brother, I love you ! ”
Thanks for spending these years together with my family. It has taught me what responsibility means, what unselfishness means and what friendship means. Not only should I look after myself, but also I should pay attention to my family and my friends.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son.Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me.I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does.Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team.
Well,to be honest,I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special---like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star.I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school.“I hope we have a winner right here in my class.”
When I got home,I started to think about what to write.My father is an astronaut.No,I wouldn’t start like that.That was the way others saw him.How did I see my father? Hmm.
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream.I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car.Yes,these were the things I was going to write.To me,he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut.He was my dad.
My parents and I went to school on Thursday night.There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me,and I shrugged(耸肩).The third prize was announced and it was not me.I was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time.
The second prize was announced.It was me.I went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father’s son”.When I finished,the people stood up and cheered.I saw my father blowing his nose.Tears were running down my mother's face.Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son,this is the proudest moment of my life.’’
It was the proudest moment of my life,too.Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize,but it was enough just to be my father’s son.

More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that's why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.
Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are friendly to bicycletravelers.
Health Benefits of Bicycling:
● It helps to prevent heart diseases.
● Bicycling helps to control your weight. A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year.
● Bicycling can improve your mood (心情). Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident.
● Bicycling is healthier than driving.
