I stood in the doorway, watching my elder brother carefully putting clothes into his bag. I coughed uneasily. Finally 　　36　　 that I was there, Rocky turned towards me with a sad smile.

“I’m 　　37　　 tomorrow,” he said.

“I know.” My __38____ was almost a whisper. I was 　　39　　 at myself for being so weak, but I wasn’t about to cry.

“My 　　40　　 is early, so there is still 　　41　　 time to come to the airport,” he said. Seeing the 　　42　　 look on my face, he quickly added, “I promise I won’t leave without saying goodbye.”

I tried to say 　　43　　 , but didn’t. It’s always 　　44　　 to keep quiet if you’re about to cry. “You promised you wouldn’t cry,” he said to me, thinking that I was close to 　　45　　.

His coughing stopped my thinking. What was left to say? How could I say 　　48　　 to the person who taught me everything?

The next morning I 　　49　　 , looked at my alarm clock, and realized he had left　50　 ago. We never even said goodbye.

Goodbye, Rocky! Although he may have been many miles away, I knew he heard me, even if it was only an answer in his heart.

When I was about 12 , I had an enemy , a girl who liked to pointed out shortcomings (缺點).Sometimes she said I was thin , Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could . At last , I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “ Are the things she said true or not ? Mary , didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

I brought the list back to my father. He refused to take it. “ That’s just for you,” he said. You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find if will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all , but hear the truth and do what you think is right.

Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our lives we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!
