What makes a gift special? Is it the

receipt
（收据）
? Or is it the
look on the recipient's face when they receive it
that
determines the true value? What
gift is worth the most?
This Christmas
I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a
hard person to buy for because he never
wants anything. I pulled out my
phone
to read a text message from my mom saying that we
were leaving
for
Christmas
shopping
for
him
when
I
came
across
a
message
on
my
phone that
I had locked. The message was from my father. My
eyes fell
on
a
photo
of
a
flower
taken
in
Wyoming,
and
underneath
a
poem
by
William Blake. The
flower, a lone dandelion standing
against the bright
blue sky,
inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words
to me since I
was a kid. That may even
be the reason why I love writing. I decided that
those words would be my gift to my
father.
I
called
back.
I
told my
mom
to
go
without
me
and
that
I
already
created
my
gift.
I
sent
the
photo
of
the
cream-colored
flower
to
my
computer
and typed the poem on top of it. As I was
arranging the details
another poem came
to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe;
my dad recited it as much as he did the
other. I typed that out as well and
searched
online
for
a
background
to
the
words
of
it.
The
poem
was
focused
around dreaming, and after searching I found the
perfect picture.
The
image
was
painted
with
blues
and
greens
and
purples,
twisting
together to create
the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both
poems passing through the printer, the
white paper coloring with words
that
shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift
that my father would
truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I
saw the look on my dad's face
as he
unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully
placed in a cheap
frame, I knew I had
given the perfect gift.

Think about the different
ways that people use the wind. You can use
it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.
Wind is one
of our cleanest and richest
power
sources,
as
well
as
one
of
the
oldest.
Evidence
shows
that
windmills
（风车
）
began to be used in ancient Iran back
in the seventh
century BC. They were
first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when
armies
returned
from
the
Middle
East
with
knowledge
of
using
wind
power.
For many centuries, people used
windmills to grind
（磨碎）
wheat
into
flour
or
pump
water
from
deep
underground.
When
electricity
was
discovered in the late
1800s, people living in remote areas began to use
them to produce electricity. This
allowed them to have electric lights and
radio. However, by the 1940s when
electricity was available to people in
almost all areas of the United States,
windmills were rarely used.
D.
matching
the
words
During
the
1970s,
people
started
becoming
concerned
about
the
pollution
that
is
created
when
coal
and
gas
are
burned
to
produce
electricity. People also realized that
the supply of coal and gas would not
last forever. Then, wind was
rediscovered, though it means higher costs.
Today,
there
is
a
global
movement
to
supply
more
and
more
of
our
electricity through the
use of wind.

They are the sort of
friends who are so close they trust each other
with
their lives. If one falls the
other is there to catch him.
They are
Wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine
years
ago in a rock-climbing
accident
，
and Corbett, an
experienced rock climber.
Together,
they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2,000-foot
rock in the
Yosemite National Park,
through one of the most difficult routes.
During the climb, Corbett took the
lead, hit in the metal
spikes
（尖状
物）
that
guided
the
ropes
and
climbed
up.
Then,
after
Wellman
pulled
himself up the rope, Corbett went down
to remove the spikes and climbed
up
again. This was repeated time and again, inch by
inch, for 13 days.
Wellman’s
job was
not
easy
either. He
got himself up
the
rope
through
upper
body
strength
alone.
In
all,
Wellman
figured
that
he
had
done 5,000 pull-ups up
the rope on the climb.
However,
when
the
two
men
first
met,
they
never
talked
about
climbing. “he knew
that was how I got injured.” Wellman said. Until
