Lisa has always been overweight. She wanted to lose weight, not just because she wanted to     36    more beautiful and be healthier, but also because it would make life easier. For example, it was     37    for Lisa to find ready-made clothes that would fit. She had to ask a tailor (裁縫）to     38    clothes that were large enough. In school, she needed

a     39    chair that was bigger and stronger than the other chairs. If she went for a walk, she got tired very quickly. She was also unhappy about the way people treated     40    sometimes. "People look at me and even make fun of me. That’s unfair! It’s true that I’m overweight, but I don't think people     41    treat me differently because I'm big. I can’t enjoy     42    with my friends because I’m afraid of getting fatter," Her friends and family never made fun of her. They tried to help her     43    They wanted her to be happy and healthy. Sometimes when Lisa was feeling sad, she didn’t want to speak to     44    .

     45    now things are quite different. Last month her classmates were preparing for the School     46    Week. Someone advised Lisa to play the lead role of the proud Queer (女王）who was tall and fat. Lisa     47    and practiced a lot.

Soon after the play, Lisa became the     48    ! She did so well that everybody remembered the proud Queen. They stood around her and said     49    to her. She ever won the School Best Actress Award for her wonderful performance.

Now Lisa doesn’t worry     50    being fat any more. She believes in the English saying "Every dog has its day."

My dad was a fisherman. He worked hard and stayed out until he caught enough    36   to feed the family nearly every day. When the weather was bad he would    37   me to school. An old truck was used in his fishing business. When we got to the school, he would give me a big   38   on the face and tell me to be a good    39  . It was so embarrassing for me. I was 12 years old, and my dad would still kiss me goodbye!

I remember the day when I decided I was too    40   for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean (傾斜) toward me, but I put my hand up and   41  , “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way. He had a surprised look on his face for a long time, and his    42  started to be wet. He turned and looked out of the windshield (擋風(fēng)玻璃). “You’re   43  ,” he said.“You are a big boy—a man. I won’t kiss you any more.”

It wasn’t long after that when my dad went out to   44   and never came back. It was a day when most of the fishermen stayed at home except Dad. He had a big family to feed

How I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would    45   have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.
