A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had
36 to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well
37 it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father's room. His father told him how
38 he was to have such a fine son, and told him how
39 he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.
40 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his
41 to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible? " He then
42 out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very
43 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.
44 that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him
45 that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a
46 telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take
47 of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search through his father's important papers, he saw the still new Bible,
48 as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to
49 the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the
50 of his graduation, and the words "PAID IN FULL". Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.

There are many festivals in Australia. The most important one is obviously Christmas. Each year, the summer holidays at every high school last about two months from the beginning of December to February, which covers the Christmas time. Since it is a long holiday, most overseas students love to fly back to their home countries to spend the time with their families and friends, but a few students still stay in Australia during the holiday to get part-time jobs. It is quite easy to find a part-time job at Christmas. Students often take part in another major social activity. They go to the beach to have fun in the sunshine. The summer in Australia is from December to February, so going to the beach in December is very popular among Australians.
