When you were young, who rode you around on the back of his bike? Who played football and flew kites with you in the park? Who helped you   1   your first difficult maths problems? Who taught you the difference between  2   ? Your dad. Now it is your turn to do something for him. One Sunday in June, is    3   Day. So why not do something   4     to thank your dad? 

The idea of Father's Day came from a(n)  5   lady called Sonora Smart Dodd in 1909. She wanted a special day to honour(紀念)her father. He raised(扶養(yǎng)) six children by himself  6             his wife died during the birth of their sixth child. Dodd thought there needed to be a day to honour great and loving dads. Her father was born  7  , so she  chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration on his birthday in 1910.In 1924,US president Calvin Coolidge liked the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally, in 1966, the third Sunday in June was made Father's Day. There are many ways  8  your love and thanks.

Dear Editor,

    I am writing to ask what has happened to the young. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation(一代人). I'll give you an example.

    Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. it was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats near me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(懷孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me an impolite look. I took off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.

    I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible (有責任心的)workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after School instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this "lost generation ".

Dear Editor,

I read Mr. Johnson’s letter about the problem of today’s young people with much interest.

He described teenagers on a train not giving seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr.

Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry me shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(明顯地) not.

"Older" people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr Johnson must accept(接受.) that the world is changing and young people are changing with it. I find today's young people are changing with it. I found today's young people mostly kind and more fun than my generation.

Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the "lost generation".
