11.    The classroom was full of those of us who wanted to work on the school newspaper. I didn’t write a lot, but working on the paper ________ like fun. I liked the idea of being a reporter, interviewing my friends, and ________ middle school events.
To be chosen, we had to turn in an example of our ________. I wrote an article about the joys of summer, and showed it to my father, a talented poet.He read it and frowned(皱眉).
“It’s okay,” my father said, taking out a pencil.“But how about changing this sentence to …” And as a result, he rewrote the whole piece─without me, for I never said anything to ________ him.
No surprise─his version (版本) was wonderful. He had a gift for language. It was so much better than my piece that I turned in his version instead of mine.
“Welcome to the Dundee School News,” my teacher said to me.But before I could be ________about the news, he added, “based on that excellent article you wrote about summer, I expect you to write a personal opinion article every week for the second page of the paper.”
I was so surprised. I was unable to write at that level, but I couldn’t tell the ________ to the teacher, and I couldn’t ask my father for help, either.
That term working on the paper was really painful.And my teacher expressed his ________, “Can’t you write something more like that first piece you wrote?” he said each time I turned in my article.
I couldn’t, because at that age, I didn’t have my father’s ability and experience as a writer. Week after week, I tried hard, but my writing never ________ the level of the first article.
At last, to my total shame, another student took my place.I ________that my father rewrote my first article himself, instead of trying to help me to improve it. But in my heart I knew it was my fault (错误) because I allowed him to do it.
Later, I did become a successful writer on my own. Looking back, I realized that the pain and shame of that school experience had a ________ side.It taught me to depend on myself and be myself. So every day, I try to use my own words, find my own style and be my own best self. It feels great.

12.         Monday, January 21st
I'm a virus for the common cold. It has been a long time since I infected humans last time. Today I tried to infect a boy in a primary school all day.
His name is Sam. I waited on his desktop, and when he touched the desk I jumped on his finger. Unluckily, Sam didn't touch his eyes, mouth or nose. Then, right after class, he washed his hands. Now I'm full of soap and sitting in a sink!
