From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him. I remember when I was a child,　 my father always got up very early, quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work. To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30, he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30. After all, he had to take a bus and then the subway. The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish. I learned: it is very important to work. No excuse(借口).

When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display(陈列), for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked, but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.

After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one—he wouldn’t buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned: buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(债务). The unnecessary things won’t give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.

I used to be very close to my father when I was a child. He gave me almost everything I wanted. Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort. He was everything to me.

Time flies like a bird. As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father. The gap(代沟) between us began to grow. He had done so much for me but I always took it for granted（理所当然）.

Last time our school gave us two days off, and daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike. I was tired and fell asleep on his back. Later my mother said he was very happy because it had been a long time since we got close last. Suddenly I felt a little shamed. I realized that I had paid no attention to him a lot during the last few years.

The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended(假装) that I couldn’t hear him. At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream.” I got so angry with him for troubling my sleep that I shouted, “__________.”

As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor. Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “What do you think your father is? Who else treats you as well as he does?”

I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. Finally I rushed with tears all over my face. I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with daddy. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy’s motorbike. He was looking for me worriedly, but he didn’t notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush.

I didn’t return home until 10 a.m.. The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me. Mum hugged me tightly and daddy looked at me with worry in his eyes. “Are you hungry, dear?” he said at last. Before I could say anything, he had gone off on his motorbike to buy food for me.

When I was a little child ，my parents took me to German.　 1.　　 .When I came back, I could speak German fluently. “ Can I do something useful with German?” I asked myself.

Then, I got a good opportunity last spring. During that time our university had a long holiday, so I stayed at home with nothing to do. 　 2.　　 . “ Why don’t you translate(翻译) it into Chinese? It will be better than playing computer games all day.” I agreed happily.

I promised to do 4,000 words each day. But soon I found it was hard to keep the promise.

One day in May, the weather was beautiful.　 3.　　 .Those 4,000 words were still waiting for me. After translating only three pages, I already lost interest in the book. I looked at it for a long time. But I couldn’t make myself turn the pages. 　　 4.　　 　

I counted (数)the words again and again. I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting in my mind. One said, “Don’t give up! Keep working hard ,and you will do well!” But then the other one said, “Go and play! It will be more interesting than translating. Do your homework tomorrow.”

I stood up and would turn off the computer. But then I remembered what my parents had told me, “ Whatever(无论什么) you do, don’t stop half way.”　　 5.　　 　 .

A. My father brought me a German book

B. So I sat down and went on with it

C. But I couldn’t go out

D. I lived there for nine years

E. How I wished I could just go outside and play basketball with my friends!
