| A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer"s hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火红的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky. The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. "It"s getting late," she thought, "I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am." She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house. It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn"t understand what was going on. She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said:" Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking." Ellen was her mother but－where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents" room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn"t slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different－she wasn"t in her mother"s room and she wasn"t wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas. It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, "Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Last night, when I was driving back home, I noticed a hitchhiker (搭便车的人) who was having no luck getting a ride. I rolled down my 1 and signed to the man to my car. I asked him where he was 2 and he told me he needed a 3 to his doctor"s office which would close in 15 minutes. I told him to 4 and he gratefully did so. 5 he got in he told me that he was a 6 and went out to sea for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and 7 to get another prescription (处方) before he left on the boat. He said that he had prayed (祈 祷) 8 would stop for him so he could be there before the 9 office closed. With some 10 driving we managed to make it there in about 10 11 . I then asked him how he 12 on getting back home and he said he could walk. "I"ll patiently 13 for you and bring you back," I told him. He 14 me and said he should only be about 15 minutes. Afterwards he got back in my 15 and tried his hardest to pay me back: offering me dinner, gas money, even offering to ship me 40 lbs of scallops (海扇贝)! I 16 refused, gave him a smile card and asked him to help someone else the next time he had a 17 . I drove him back to where I had picked him up and 18 one more "thank you" he was on his way. I feel that the universe 19 provides us with what we need. In the man"s 20 it was a ride, in mine the opportunity to help someone else. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
