I’ll remember the first carnival(狂歡節(jié)). 1.. My parents came from Jamaica and they helped to start carnival. We had very little money, but we made costumers from old bits of material and feathers, and colourful masks. We decorated old lorries, so that we could ride on them through the streets. It took us six months to get ready.

But on the big day, all our hard work had been worth it. People of all ages, from babies to grandparents, black and white, danced together in the street. 2.. The music was played on anything made of metal: it was very noisy.

There were people watching from the windows of every house. We ate all our favourite Jamaican food, washed down with beer.3.– but carnival helps you forget the weather!

When the carnival got too big, those old streets became too narrow for such big crowds(人群). Some people said they felt frightened by the large crowds and the noise. We were worried that carnival would be banned(禁止). Then we found an answer – everything was moved to a wider and safer street. 4..

A. It was in the 1960s

B. The weather was wet

C. The policemen danced, too

D. But sometimes it’s too crazy

E. So carnival should continue for years.

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing(抓。﹉is hand while we walked together. As I grew older, I remember my father and I listening to basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep   35  the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet with the   36  score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.

On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered(分送)the bread to the stores. The   37  and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.

My father would be present at all my games.

I’ll always remember that.

Years later I had become a   42 . I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart   43  in my ears. I   44  the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing really   45  to me. I still taught in school but I couldn’t centre attention on my teaching. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the same way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my   46  in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, compassion and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day on I started. I’ll always remember that!
