Long time ago, there was a seed. Because he was only a seed, 36 cared to notice him. Thus, feeling useless, the seed thought he was not important at all.
Then one day, a 37 picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. He was 38 , thinking, "Why would a wind do such a thing?" But 39 any pleasant answers, he was 40 with sunlight as well as 41 , sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
Time flew by and years later, he saw a 42 sitting by his side. "Thank God for this. I really need some 43 ",he heard the traveler say.
"What are you 44 ?"The seed asked. He thought the man was 45 him. Surely he had seen many people sitting by his side, 46 no one ever spoke to him like that.
"Who is this?" The man was 47
"This is me, the seed. "
"The seed?" The man looked at the big 48 "Are you kidding me? You are not a seed. You are a tree. A big tree ！
" 49 ?"
"Yes! Why else do you think people 50 here?"
"What do they come here for?"
"To 51 your shade! Don't tell me you didn't know you had 52 over time. "
A moment passed, and the traveler's words made him think a lot.
The seed, now a big tree, thought and 53 for the first time in his life. The years of suffering from the sun and the rain were useful to him at last.
"Oh! That means I'm not a(n) 54 seed anymore! Wow! I'm a big tree now. That's the 55 that I really want !"

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.
Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head-to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19it. The team practice, 20was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23to go! I told her she shouldn't swim after a whole night's coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .
From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn't 25 a single practice. She had a 26intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn't a 29 ---ever. But that didn't stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn't expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , "The highest honor goes to Cathy!" Looking around, he continued, "Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart."
It was the greatest 34 of my daughter's life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).
