12．　　When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.
　　I grew up and let home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.
　　Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.
　　One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately, I bought with plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.
　　After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.

　　In China everyone seems to know about antibiotics (抗生素). When you have a cold, you go to see a doctor. The doctor may give you some antibiotics. It's true that antibiotics can cure your disease, but too many antibiotics are not good for your body.
　　Antibiotics were first used in the 1940s. They worked well and were called"the wonder drugs". "But now, antibiotics have become a threat to human lives," said a report by the UK government. "Our bodies are developing a resistance (抵抗) to antibiotics, and 10 million people across the world will die of this by 2025."
　　How come the wonder drugs are now killers?In our bodies, there are two types of bacteria (细菌). Some are good for our health and others cause diseases. Antibiotics are used to destroy the bad ones. But it's usually a long battle. Antibiotics may win this time, but bacteria don't give up. They soon learn new skills to fight back. Then our body needs more antibiotics to win. And the battle goes on, As a result, we're seeing more"superbugs", or bacteria that can't be killed by antibiotics.
　　In China, patients use too many antibiotics. Antibiotics make up 70 percent of the country' Drug production. Sometimes patients don't need to use antibiotics. If patients take too many antibiotics , there will be more"superbugs". So, don't take antibiotics for some common diseases, for example, cold and flu.
