became inseparable. When high school ended, we both cried 2 we would attend different colleges
in the fall.
Our first term of university life was 3. We had a telephone bill and our e-mails were incredibly
long. In the second term I found some new friends with whom I felt very 4These were friends with
whom I could be myself and 5 out my feelings. I was eager to share my new friends with Becky .
When Becky finally visited me at my school, we were excited. She 6 a toy bear to me as a present
and told me about her college life. However, something unexpected happened when I 7 her to my
new friends .Her eyes grew dark and I could see the 8 within them. My new friends tried to share
their friendship, but Becky seemed 9 to accept it . I didn’t understand 10 the people I love most
couldn’t love each other .
Becky 11. I knew she was not happy .I thought long about what happened .After many
unanswered questions, I understood that she was 12. She saw me with my new friends and 13 that we
no longer shared the same experiences . She saw all the fun I was having 14 her and wished she
could a part of it. She wished she could be in their position.
I wrote a letter to Becky 15 she’s always my best friend. I told her everyone had friends from
home and friends from school , and all the friends were indeed life’s greatest 16. Becky wrote me
back soon. She was in 17 and felt sorry about what she had done .
I think Becky and I both learn an important lesson from it. 18 can influence our friendship and
change the experiences we’ve shared. We are now walking on two different paths of 19 .While new
friends are special and exciting , old friends are always there, 20 to share their heart and soul , no

rainstorm, with no cars on the road.The storm was so strong that the man could hardly see a few feet
ahead of him.Suddenly, he saw a car come towards him and stop.The man, without thinking about it,
got in the car and closed the door and only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the steering
wheel(方向盘)!
The car started to move very slowly.The man looked at the road and saw a curve (拐弯处)coming
his way.Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life.He had not come out of shock when, just
before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel.The
man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve.Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky (幽灵般的)
car.Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town.In a state of
complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky.
Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he
just went through in the spooky car.Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with
hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth because he was crying and he was
certainly not drunk!

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic 1 ; in the other a
toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I’ll never forget the words
she said, even 2 it was a pretense.
She said, "Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very 3 . She didn’t listen to a 4 I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was 5 she’d been put there to sit alone and 6 .
My daughter 7 her “conversation”, as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up. I just don’t
know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too.
She never 8 me do the things that I just have to do.
She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot 9 . And she doesn’t know 10 to fold
towels. I don’t have the 11 to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t
have the time to sit and play- 12 what I mean?”
And that day I thought a lot about making some 13 in my life, as I listened to her 14 words that cut me like a knife. I hadn’t been payi ng enough attention to what I hold most 15 . I’d been caught up in
responsibilities that increased throughout the year.
But now my 16 has changed, because, in my heart, I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different 17 through my little darling’s eyes. So, let the cobwebs(蜘蛛网 18 the corners and the dust bunny rabbit
rule the floor. I’m not going to worry about keeping up with them 19 .

and we will never get another.

It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That"s more or less happened on the
night that Nashville police officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
"I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue
lights and sirens(警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off
quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than
a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
But Hyde couldn"t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worring
about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird
in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit(附近的警局)would be able to step in and stop the
speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac
made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At that point he found unit had already
arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn"t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the
Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
"Just about that time," Hyde says. "I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and
oil going everywhere. He had blown his engine. Now he had to stop."
"After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn"t have a driver"s license".
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty extra --- a thousand dollars for the new engine ---
not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.

Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week.We were supposed to do
nice things 1 our friends without letting them know who was doing it.We could leave 2 notes or
cards either on their desks or in their backpacks.Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a
basket, we 3 a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriened over the next five days.
Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving 4 instead of notes.Everyone was getting
cool presents except me.My friend followed the teacher"s 5 without a fault.I received nothing but
handmade cards with nice words about me.
On the last morning, I finally got a package.When I 6 it, the girls around all 7 .It was perfumed powder, an "old lady" gift.My face went red.
I tried to forget about the 8 gift, but when the same girls 9 it again during the break in the
bathroom, I joined in, "How stupid! My grandmother wouldn"t 10 want it." The girls laughed at my
11 and left the bathroom.Washing my hands, I let the water run through my fingers 12 I thought
about my words.It wasn"t 13 like me to say things like that.
"I"m your secret friend." It was Rochelle. "I" m sorry about the gift," she whispered to me, tears
14 down her face.
From a poor family, she was a 15 at school for those with rich parents.Yet she just took all
the 16 and the horrible treatment silently.
I was sick to my stomach as my 17 words ran through my mind.She had heard everything.
How could I have been so cruel?
Later I learned she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her
mum had given up her only luxury(奢侈品).
And I had 18 everything for her.
I told her that I had only said those things to try to 19 .
"We aren"t that different from each other, are we?" She smiled 20 .Her simple words, spoken
from her heart, found their way straight into mine.

path.I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn"t covered by water or
mud.As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack.It was so
unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected.I was surprised as well as unhurt though I
had been struck four or five times.I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me.Had
I been hurt I wouldn"t have found it amusing.And I was laughing.After all, I was being attacked by
a butterfly!
Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward.My attacker rushed me again.He charged
towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain.For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused.I wasn"t sure what to do.After all, it"s just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly.I stepped back to look the situation over.My attacker moved back to land on the
ground.That"s when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier.He had a
mate and she was dying.
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her.I could only admire the
love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate.He had taken it up on himself to attack
me for his mate"s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large.He did so just to give
her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her.His
courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate"s
safety seemed admirable.I couldn"t do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult
side of the pool.He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
Since then, I"ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers
facing me.
