A
It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I
often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at
everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football
team．
Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something
special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole sch001．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”
When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0，I
wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he
hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I
was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world—famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big
hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(耸肩)．
The third prize was announced and it was not me．1 was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．
1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother’s face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this
is the proudest moment of my life．’’
It was the proudest moment of my life，too．Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a
Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．

Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend
wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different
school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new
friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their
friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends． 。．
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play
with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share
something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or
say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids
you want to play with．act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make
new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make
friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share
something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

In the past．many people used horses for traveling，farming and other kinds of work．A
lot of people still like to ride horses．And horse racing is also popular．So it is not surprising
that Americans use this animal when they talk．
Long ago，rich or important people rode horses which were very tall．Today, if a girl
acts like she is better than everyone else，you might say she should get off her high horse．
Yesterday my children wanted me to take them to the playground．But I had to finish
my work, so I said．“Hold your horses．Wait until I finish what I am doing.” My two boys
like to compete against each other and play in a noisy and not very careful way．I always tell
them to stop horsing around or someone could get hurt． ‘
Last night，I got a telephone call while I Was watching my favourite TV show．I decided
not to answer it because wild horses could not drag(拖，拽)me away from the television．There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do．
Sometimes you get information straight from the horse’s mouth．Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow．You could say you got the information straight from the horse’s mouth．
You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink．That means you can
give someone advice but you cannot force him to do something he does not want to do．
