My dad used to say he knew I would be a singer. When I was a baby,I was always singing loudly. Dad was a big sports fan,but he was happy I loved music.
After dinner,Dad would often ask me to sing. He always said I sang I Will Always Love You much better than Whitney Houston!
At every school concert he cheered me on. The look of pride on his face made me happy.
My life was full of concerts,singing lessons and laughter. Though my mum and brothers helped me,they did not share our love for music.
Our lives changed when Dad was told that he had cancer. We always hoped that something would happen and he would get better,but the doctors told us that they could not save him.
About a week before my dad died,he fell into a coma (昏迷) .The nurses said even though Dad did not reply,he could still hear me.
The nurses said I should sing him a song. I sang one of our favorites. As I sang,my dad gave a big smile,and clapped (鼓掌) .
I will always remember that smile. I was so pleased to know that Dad had heard me sing one more song.
My dad died on January 31 ,2010. It was hard to believe;he was so full of life. I don't know how to say how much I miss him.
Now I have all the memories of him and his beautiful smile deep inside my heart. I will always know that he is listening from his front row seat in heaven. He used to say:" Sing from your heart." My dad has been and will always be my hero.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. uOh,Fm sorry," was my reply. He said, "It's my fault. I didn't notice you."
We were very polite,this stranger and I. We said goodbye and continued our journey. But at home,a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones,young and old? Later that day,while I was cooking the evening meal,my daughter stood beside me very still.
When I turned,I nearly knocked her down. "Move out of the way," I shouted at her. My daughter walked away,with her little heart broken. I didn't realize how cruelly (冷酷地) I had spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,God's small voice came to me and said, "When dealing with a stranger,common courtesy (禮貌) you use; but the children you love,you seem to abuse. Look on the kitchen floor,and you will find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers your daughter brought for you. She picked them herself,pink,yellow and blue. Your daughter stood quietly not to spoil the surprise,and you never saw the tears in her eyes. " By this time I felt very small,and my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by her bed, "Wake up,little girl,wake up," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" My daughter smiled, "I found them,out by the tree. I picked them because they are pretty like you. I knew you would like them,especially the blue."
I said, "Daughter,I am sorry for the way I acted today;I should not have shouted at you that way. " My daughter said, "Oh,Mum,that's okay. I love you anyway."

Hope for a Safer World Close your eyes. Make a wish. What is it? You may want to have a cool schoolbag or do well in school work. Some teens in Beijing have a different wish. They want a peaceful world. In it,everyone can live happily.
There is an environment group,Roots and Shoots (才艮與芽) in Beijing. And,it had something for the teens to do on Sundays. It asked the teens to make a wish for World Peace Day. So,the young people got together to sing peace songs. They also "flew" some peace doves outside. That white bird means peace and love around the world.
The large doves were not real doves. They were made out of pieces of cloth. Students took them outside. Many countries do things like this for World peace Day every year.
In 1981,the United Nations (UN,聯(lián)合國) decided to have a World Peace Day. In 2001,September 21 became that day. Liu Xuesong is a Junior 1 student in Beijing. " I saw the children in Iraq (伊拉克) and other places on TV," she said, "I want to write letters to them and help them."
Many students also made kites. Zhang Yongzheng,13. from Beijing Xicheng Foreign Language School,made a kite in three days. She drew a lotus (荷花) and a bottle on it. In Chinese,lotus and bottle sound the same as the word "peace".
Her classmate,Zhao Chenning,drew some countries' flags on her kite. "We are a big family," she said. "I want the kite to fly high!Then everyone can see it and know my wish."
Pan Ziheng,a Junior 2 student at Beijing Yucai School,said ," I want to stop wars,so the lovely animals and plants can live well. I wish to work for the UN when I grow up. Now I will just be a good boy and be nice to everybody."
( ) 11. How often do the members in the environment group meet?
A. Every day. B. Every other day.
C. Every week. D. Every month.
( ) 12. What do the members in the environment group do?
A. They wish for peace. B. They sing peace songs.
C. They "fly" peace doves. D. They do all the above.
( ) 13. What do you know about the doves that the students fly from the passage?
A. They are real doves that the students keep.
B. They are real doves that the students bought.
C. They are made of pieces of cloth.
D. They are paper doves.
( ) 14. Which of the following can't be seen on the kites made by the students?
