Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my
father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my
father and I used to have a lot of __1__ through which I learned __2__ from his
experiences. He always told me, “ You __3__ have goals (目標) like climbing the mountain.” Without the
mountain-climbing that we both __4__, we couldn’t have enough time to spend
together because my father was very _5__. I really got a lot from the
mountain-climbing. It gave me time to _6__ with my father and to be in deep
thought __7__ develop my patience.

climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the bird’s singing. But as time
passed, I got a pain in both of my __9__. I wanted to __10_ climbing, but my
father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the
mountain, but you can’t see it __11__ reaching the top. Only there can you see
all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his
__12__. But later after that, I __13__ know the meaning of hope in life. I
found __14__ standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as _15_ as
crystal.
