I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire,and every morning,sometimes before I woke up,my dad left for work.I didn't know much about what my dad actually did all day.But one thing I did know about my dad's day was that he often spent his lunch break looking for books for me.He would often come home in the evening with a book for me in his bag.When he handed the "gift" over to me,I immediately investigated its cover,checked out the description on the back,and sometimes started reading right then.
I was not always as appreciative of those books as I should have been,especially in my younger years.One time,Dad brought home a paperback(平裝書)called Bunya the Witch.I looked the cover quickly before saying, "Ugh!It's just another stupid farm book," and dropping it on the ground.Later I learned that valuable lesson about not judging a book by its cover—Bunya the Witch turned out to be one of my favorites.
As I got older,my dad favored books about strong young female characters,like Invincible Louisa by Cornelia Meigs,Up a Road Slowly by Irene Hunt,and Homesick:My Own Story by Jean Fritz,books I remember to this day.
It's not just the books themselves that stay in my memory.It's the girl reading them,and what she felt as she read.I think back to hours spent in my childhood bedroom,reading about young women who faced lives much more difficult than mine.I learned from their courage and drew inspiration from their bravery.
To this day,I love to read.I love the excitement of opening up a new book and getting lost in whatever story the author wants to tell me.And quite often,when I've read something really wonderful,the first person I pass it along to is my dad.I figure I owe him.

3.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
