and i visited my father at his new home in tucson, arizona. he moved there a few years ago, and i was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.my earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. as a child i loved him; as a school girl and young adult i feared him and felt bitter about him. he seemed unhappy with me unless i got straight as and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. whenever i went out with him on weekends, i used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.on the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. we walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. gone was my fathers critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. who was this person i knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? what had held him back before?the next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. although our time together became easier over the years, i never felt closer to him at that moment. after so many years, im at last seeing another side of my father. and in so doing, im delighted with my new friend. my dad, in his new

good food and medical care. however, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. the expression, to lead a dogs life, describes a person who has an unhappy life.some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. that means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. they say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. this means they have to work very, very hard. such hard work can make people dog-tired. and, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.still, people say every dog has its day. this means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. to be successful, people often have to learn new skills. yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. they believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. people who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. but mean dogs are often used to guard this property. they bark or attack people who try to enter the property. however, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. we say his bark is worse than his bite.dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. the dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. a rainstorm may cool the weather. but we do not want it to rain too hard. we do not want it to rain cats and dogs.21. a person who lives an unhappy
