My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion (提升), I’d call my father right away and he’d rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970, when I was named President of the Ford Motor Company, I didn’t know which of us was more excited. Like many native Lactations, my parents were very open with their feelings and their love ---- not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity ---- nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn’t get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle (车辆)with less than four wheels. Because of that motorcycle, I wasn’t allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫).Thirdly, we must be able to write it. Finally, we must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory(记忆)is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists(一览表)of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "Learn through use". Practice is important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever(无论何时) we can.

A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated(生气的,不耐烦的), to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business!” the man said angrily.
“I just want to know. how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.
“I make $20.00 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied., “Daddy, may I borrow $10.00, please?”
The father was angry. “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy,then you go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish(自私的). I work hard every day for such childish behavior(行为).”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and got even angrier. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about about an hour,the man had calmed down(平静下来),and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.” Are you asleep,son?” He asked.
“No,Daddy.” Replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking,maybe I was too hard on you earlier,”said the man.“ Here’s the $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat up,smiling. “Oh,thank you,Daddy!”He yelled. Then,reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled(皱皱巴巴的) up bills, and began to count his money.
“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father asked.
“Because I didn’t have enough,but now I do,”the little boy replied.
