Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time
never had any importance in my life until I__1__a watch from my father, which organized my
life and made me more responsible. It's round in the center with two silver bands(带) that
__2__around my wrist and all of it is made of silver.
     I received this__3__on a gray - sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to__4__
up my Uncle Ali and take him to my father's house.__5__, I was late because I was__6__
out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I__7__my uncle, but I was very
late for him. He had__8__the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.
     I got to my father's house at 2:00 pm that day and felt ashamed of myself at that moment.
After I said hi to my__9__father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and
handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, "Peter, did you have__10__with your
friends today?" I answered, "Yes, father, and__11__apologized for not meeting my Uncle
Ali." He said, "What you__12__was not very nice and you should be sorry for your action."
I was ashamed and said, "Father, I'll never do it again . I promise." He said, "I hope today
you learned something important, and this watch will be a__13__for you." He told me to
take this watch and use it as an organizer of my__14__.
     I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to
get someone. This watch is__15__to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson
that I learned from it.

     A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to warm themselves
up during one particularly icy cold winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon 20 years ago. They both had jobs, so it was decided that the
husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day.
Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his
laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one
letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.
     In the same time: In Houston, a woman had just returned from her husband's funeral(葬礼).
He was a minister of many years who had been "called home to glory" following a heart
attack. The woman checked her e-mail, expecting message from family and friends. Upon
reading the first message, she fainted(昏厥)and fell to the floor. Her son rushed into the room,
found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife
From: Your Departed Husband
Subject: I've arrived!
     I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for
your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as
uneventful(平静)as mine was.
     P.S. Sure is hot down here.
