JAMES CHURCH.B“One father is worth more than a hundred schoolmaster,” Britain poet George Herbert once said. Bill Gates, the worlds richest man, agrees.When he was a little kid, Gates was silent and hated to talk with others. He spent most of his time alonereading books and thinking. To help his son, Gates father held family meetings and let him play simple games with family members. “These activities seemed silly but they improved my leading and working-together abilities,” Gates said later.While mothers offer a more gentle kind of love, fathers teach qualities like independence（独立）, confidence, courage and adventure（冒险）. Children learn these things from their fathers when they play sports or games together.British scientists showed that children who grow up without their fathers may have many problems. They may not have enough courage for facing difficulties, may be shy and worried or may even commit crimes （犯罪）.A caring father can help children get along well with others. Fathers not only lead their children into social circles but also teach them how to behave and control their feelings. Moreover, fathers let you know who you are. They lead you to learn what you should be like as a girl or a boy.48.

Watching the beautiful green trees turned into ash（灰烬）overnight, Paul felt his heart break.In order to bring back the forest manors beauty, Paul tried to borrow money from a bank. But the bank refused him, for the bank didnt believe hed pay it back. Then he felt too frustrated to eat or drink. So he hid in his room for days. His wife was worried about him and suggested he take a break outside.Paul went for a walk. When he turned the first corner, he saw a store with a huge group of people. It turned out that the housewives were waiting in line to buy charcoal（煤炭）used for winter heating.Then Pauls eyes lit up. He ran home and paid some charcoal workers to change the forests burnt trees into charcoal.As soon as his charcoal went on the market, it was sold out quickly.

For example, sometimes it happens that your anger hurts others or breaks your friendship and you regret later. It is also bad for the health. We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make more trouble. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance to solve your problems. Besides, to be humorous is a good choice to reduce your anger.
