I am just finishing up some maths homework. My dad, who has got off work, sits right beside me, looking over my homework. We are just talking and my dad says,“I will always cherish every moment with you.” I still remember my dad telling me his stories. My dad didn't have a father in his childhood. He was always moving from place to place with my grandma. My father wasn't the easiest kid to handle. He would get into fights with kids at school. He got angry easily and never listened to my grandma.
Things got a little easier when he came to Utah. He organized a football team and was doing well in high school. He also had friends to keep him in line. Among one of those friends was my uncle. My father and uncle were friends all throughout his life. Through my uncle is how my mum and dad met, officially.

My mum and dad met each other when they were 18. One night when my mum and all her cousins attended a concert, she came across my dad and uncle. She said to my uncle, “Hey, I know that guy, His name's Ben, right?” My uncle then called my dad over and introduced them to each other. They talked for a while and found out that they were going to the same university.
They started talking, and from talking to dating(恋爱）, and then dating led up to my birth five years later. My dad felt that becoming a father was an honor and that he would not be absent in my life.

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It's great first for what it contains：many types of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business， from fashion to science, and many types of comment and special feature( 特 写 ) as well，from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art theatre and music.
A newspaper is even greater for the way one reads it：never completely, never straight through，but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece，reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the text.
So a good modern newspaper offers many different things to attract
B. A Father's Love Story
D. Wonderful Memories with
many different readers, but there is another thing that helps to hold their interest：topicality. The topicality of a newspaper is its immediate relation to what is happening around you and in other places o the world now. This immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than short value in time.
For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper：each person chooses something from the pages of that day's paper and forms his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need and without wasting time，demands skill and self-awareness as you change and apply the techniques of reading.
