“We’ve been good friends for so many years. And I don’t think you meant to do that ...” I said to myself， looking at Jack， my friend who was running across the 36 field.
How I wish I could join them！ But it was impossible because of the pain in my left foot， caused by Jack.
I first met Jack in a football match in the elementary school. When my team looked as if we were 37 ， Jack， who was watching， volunteered to join us. He was so confident and skilled that we won. From then on， Jack and I often played together and became best friends.
But something happened before an important football match between Class Six and my class. My class had so many good players that we had to 38 the best ones. Jack and I were in the same team. The match was close in the first half. I saw my chance and was ready to score a goal. Suddenly， Jack 39 me. He slid to stop the ball， but collided with my left foot. I knew I had lost the chance to score and was 40 the field. But what really hurt me was that Jack didn’t say sorry. And when some of my teammates said he did it on purpose to 41 me from scoring， I felt even 42 .
Now I stand here， with tears in my eyes. I don’t want to 43 those words but I don’t know how to persuade myself they are 44 . Then everything changes when Jack scores and wins！ How excited I am！
While I am still 45 in excitement， someone pats my shoulder. It is Jack， with a smile on his face. “I’m sorry that you can not join in because of my 46 . But you see， Jason， we beat them！ No matter whether you joined in or not， you’ve made a contribution. Come on， let’s celebrate！” Suddenly， I am 47 by the players. The sunshine is so bright that I close my eyes. Riding high above my teammates， I feel so happy. And I know the friendship between Jack and me will last forever.

The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(说明书). And each child is 36 . So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(挫折), not 37
what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is 38 by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American 39 . To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children 40 on their own two feet. From 41 each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they get more 42 to make their own choices. 43 choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to 44 them with. When they 45 young adulthood, they choose their own jobs and marriage 46 . Of course, many young adults still 47
their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they “leave the 48 ” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own , not 49 to their mother’s apron strings (围裙带). The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to 50 their children as individuals—not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to achieve their own 51 . Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the 52
to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a (an) 53 among equals. But 54 to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to 55 . Even as adult, they respect and honor their parents.

In 1883, a creative engineer, John Roebling, was inspired to build a splendid bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, experts throughout the world thought that this was 16 . Even so, Roebling could not 17 the idea in his mind. After much discussion, he 18 convince his son Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. They hired their 19 and began to build their dream bridge.
Only a few months 20 the project was underway a tragic on-site accident killed John Roebling and 21 injured his son, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to move or 22 . Surely now the project would have to be 23 . Though Washington Roebling lay in his hospital bed, he was not 24 and his mind remained as 25 as it was before the accident. Suddenly an idea 26 him. All he could move was one finger, so he 27 the arm of his wife with that finger, 28 to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again.

“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 36 , again, about the dog coming in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 37 air．
Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 38 thing to do．But then she took it a step 39 ．“Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats（犒劳物） and 40 him in front of the open door．“Touch．” And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a 41 position．She 42 him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became 43 ．Over the last few days I have been with Kolby．Each time he comes in I bring him back to the 44 door and ask him to close．There have been 45 in the beginning, but lately more and more successes．
However, there remains much work to be done．I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again 46 he will close the door from a distance．But, I now realize, as long as you keep to the focus , the 47 will be completed, and, with the way things are 48 , completed quickly．
What a 49 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby．
A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 51 ．Once you 52 the belief that it is “too hard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of 53 ．Once you want to accomplish a goal, and 54 that it is “easy”, then it becomes “easy” to do what needs to be done．Just 55 doing it．
