Well
Nothing is automatically deleted by iPhoto
So
to get help you need to tell us what version of iPhoto you have, what recent changes you have made, what has been going on with your Mac and any other clues
And as to the "show package" thing - Don't do it except under expert direction - going into the inside of the iPhoto library is extremely dangerous and a very simple mistake can destroy your library - it is even possible that your doing that in the past could be he cause of your current problem
and note that not having a backup is a really poor decision - it 100% guarantees that sooner or later you will lose your photos - and all other files - this might be the time for your photos - your Mac comes with free excellent backup software - TimeMachine - using it is as simple as purchasing a large hard drive (roughly 2 1/2 times your main drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)) and plugging it in and launching TM if it does not auto launch - bad decision to skip this

my iPhoto version is “iphoto’11,version 9.4.2(710.42)” and nothing happened i just was importing my pic from iPhone to iPhoto and there was suddenly a new iPhoto opened previously i didn’t do anything at all..and i didn’t upgrade or install new software nither did i run any cleaning application!but there are two library in my mac but then its modified on d same date and when i open it the revet pic i imported only comes! and all photos of 2011 till 2013 is gone just the once i recently uploaded are there!!! and i did it under expert advice!
restart your Mac - and see if anything changes
LN
i have tried that too!!! anything else?????
Well
To stop wasting time making suggestions only to be told you hae already done tha tplease list what you have "already done" to resolve this and the results of each - that will save both of us a lot of time in narrowing this down
LN
im sorry well i restarted already....i switched off already....with the expert advice i have use those four option which comes after pressing (comand and option) together.... i have even pressed(option) and tried to open the other library but its didnt apperar there..... i have even went to both the library separately and tried (command and option) didnt work...... and i even tried finding the pic in finder but its not there so basically i did all these!!!! and sorry to annoy you!!!
No
WHat is annoying is to take time to read questions, research and type answers only to get back "I already tried tha" we could have gone on doing this for days before getting to the end of the list of things you have tried
It looks like your only remaining option is to restore your backup from before this occured

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
OT
not working!!! anything else???
Give this a go:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
