Most people have ambitions(抱负;雄心). An ambition is something we want to do, want to be or want to have. A student's ambition, for example, might be to pass his or her exams and then get a good job. An athlete's ambition could be to win an important competition. A businessman's ambition is usually to make a lot of money.
Not all ambitions are about success at work, however. Some people just want to be good people, have a happy family or help others.
Ben's ambition is to be a sports writer. He writes the sports reports for his class newspaper. He likes most of the sports, but swimming and football are his favorites. Trudv's ambition is to be a concert pianist. She is very serious about it and she practices every day with her best friend Lily. It is very important to her.
Harry's ambition changes every day!One day he wants to be an astronaut. The next day he wants to be a pop singer. The next day he wants to drive a racing car. His mother would be happy if his ambition was to get up in time for school every day!
It was my mother's habit that she would push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead(前额)every night.
I don't remember when it started making me unhappy. I hated her pushing my hair, for the hands were rough(粗糙的)against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted at her, "Don't do that anymore, your hands are too rough!"She didn't say anything. But from then on, she never did the same thing.
With the passing of time, I always thought about that night. I missed my mother's hands and her goodnight kiss on my forehead. I felt very sorry for my mother. But I didn't tell her because of my pride.
Then it was on Thanksgiving Day. When I slept on my bed, a familiar hand secretly pushed the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss touched my forehead softly. The shout of that night came back to my mind:Don't do that anymore—your hands are too rough!I took Mom's hands in my hands. I cried and told her how sorry I was for that night. Mom didn't say anything at that night. She just smiled and hugged me.
That night, I fell asleep sweetly with my gentle mother. And the guilt disappeared. I love my mother and will never forget her rough hands.
