A
Linda Evans was my best friend －like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.
When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time －like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea how to find Linda.
Over the years, I missed Linda very much, I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.
One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Linda and whose last name was Wagman－ Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”
Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled, and there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: we won’t lose each other again!

At Easter we celebrate the birth of lambs and baby chickens and other animals. 48 Children believe in the Easter bunny, which is a rabbit that goes from house to house delivering chocolate eggs.

Children believe in Santa Claus, which is a man who goes from house to house delivering presents to all the children. I can"t teach you any English because you are very good at the language already. 50 Hello: Hola; Goodbye: Adios; My name is Helen: Mi llamo Helen; My name is Julia: Mi llamo Julia; Thank you: Gracias.

Love from Helen

Life is often compared to a diary. As Barrie said: We begin by resolving to write one thing and end by writing something very different. However, to be more exact, life is much more like a growing plant. Whether we like it or not, it is the stem (叶柄) that holds the plant; 71 .
Some people say, “Let by-gones be by-gones.” This is especially the case for misanthropes (厌恶与人交往的人) who hate to recall their past events. 72 ; they hate everything—perhaps themselves, too. In times of loneliness, instead of enriching their minds by enjoying their happy memories, they blame this world for being cold. Yet we may have something very funny in the past. Why not warm up your coldness by recalling them?
Some time ago, I went boating with my two friends. Having rented a sampan, we set out. The weather was dull and unfavorable, and the wind, singing in our ears, set off the waves which uplifted the boat and let it go. 73 . Without a moment’s hesitation I laid down the oars to catch it, but I failed. I tried again and it ran away. When the third time my two friends came to my help, the boat was out of balance with us all on one side. The boat turned over. The jellyfish which we were so anxious to catch a few minutes ago now floated towards us. But this time we tried our best to get away from it and landed on the bottom of the boat. 74 . Though drunk with water I felt very happy as that was the first adventure in my life, and I really enjoyed it.
I always like to sit quietly in one corner of my room, recalling past events, and laughing secretly to myself. Happy memories can delight you when you are moody and can encourage you when you are in difficulties. 75 .
| A．They hate their fellow men |
| B．Encouraging one’s minds sometimes brings more trouble |
| C．Loneliness and coldness offers some people bad memories of the past |
| D．besides, it is our past |
F. Suddenly I saw a jellyfish floating on the surface
G. Fortunately, my two friends, experts in boating, managed to turn it back
