Yesterday is Father’s Day. Many things happening between my father and me crowded my mind. But one
thing made a deep impression on me.
It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a 16 mood(情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the
night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room 17 ways to make them sorry when my father came in.
“Want to go for a ride today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.”
“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the 18 words I said to him that morning.
My friends called and 19 me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be 20 with
them and then went with them. When I came home, I found a 21 on the table. My mother put it where I
would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an 22 . Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”
When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me a car hit my father and his injuries were
extensive(大面积的). “Your father told the driver to leave 23 alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had
moved Daddy, …”
My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything 24 those terrible words:
Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to 25 himself. He didn’t want to be hurt more. How much had I
hurt him 26 I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?
It was several days later that he was 27 able to have a talk. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.
“Daddy … I am so sorry …”
“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”
“No,” I said, “I mean about 28 I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”
He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember 29 about that day, not before, during or after the
accident. I remember telling you good night the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.
My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal(治愈). And we all
have the power to choose our 30 . I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

For all the joy that Walt Disney spread around the world, you might think he had a happy, carefree
childhood. In fact, Walt's early years were often a struggle.
He was born on December 5, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois. His parents, Elias and Flora, were hard workers.
Elias worked as a builder at the time, which was a tough way to make a living. The family often had trouble
making ends meet. Flora was forced to do building work with her husband because they needed money so badly.
By the time Walt was born, the Disney already had three other mouths to feed: Herbert Raymond and Roy. Two
years after Walt was born, a baby girl named Ruth came alone. In a search for better jobs, the Disney family moved
every few years when Walt was a kid. Elias took them from the city to the country, and then to a different city years
later.
Walt’s father, Elias, had a bad temper (脾气). Elias cared for his family, but it wasn’t easy being his son.
In 1906, the Disney family moved to Missouri and the children were all excited to live on a farm. Even
five-year-old Walt had duty on the farm. His job was to watch out for the pigs and make sure they didn’t get into
trouble. One of the pigs seemed to like Walt. She would walk over to the house looking for him. Walt loved all the
animals on the farm and these early experiences inspired (赋予灵感) his later work.
