What did I gain?” I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 12 , he answered his own question: “I 13 the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness. I was also 14 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated(恼怒的)at someone, I 15 remember his words and become 16 . If he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be 17 to give up my small irritations. In this 18 , I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

A. award B. gift C. lesson D. word A Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we should be able to know where most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one may know really where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham( 火腿 )? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburger. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food.

Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth open in surprise, mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.” “Yes. I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at mum and said, “But aren’t you working late?” Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall.
