星期天-ASunday
A Sunday
It was Sunday.I had hoped to sleep later.But at about five o\'clock in the morning I was woken up by the telephone.The call was from the hospital.There was something wrong with a patient.On hearing this, Father put on his clothes quickly and set out without delay.I said,“It must be another busy day.A doctor\'s work is too hard.”Mother patted me on the head and said with a smile,“Everything in the world is hard.You must work hard, too.”I nodded.After breakfast I went to school, though it was Sunday.Some of my clamates were not there.Perhaps they wanted to relax and have a good time.But we are facing a great challenge----the college entrance examinations.We must work harder than ever.

“榜样的力量是无穷的。”这句话说得很对。本文就是很好的证明。父母用行动和语言教育了子女。作者母亲的话“Everything in the world is hard.You must work hard, too.”是全文的核心和命脉。它道出了人生的价值观：人生在于奋斗。
