In the middle of the night, Peter's wife suddenly fell ill. She couldn't help crying, “Oh， my stomach! Get the 1 !”
Peter, awaking from a deep sleep, thought his wife was only having a 2 dream.
“Stop that noise,” he said to her. He turned over and tried to go to 3 again, but his wife still cried out, “Oh, help！help！ I'm sure I'm 4 .”
Peter got out of bed and started 5 , but he could not find him any clothes.
“Where is my shirt?” he asked. His wife was 6 ill to tell him, and she could only cry, “Oh, my 7 stomach!”
As soon as he had put his clothes 8 , he said, “Now, my dear, are you quite 9 that you need the doctor? Surely you can wait 10 morning, can’t you?”
“No, I can't. Go, go, go,” his wife shouted, “ 11 you will find me dead 12 the morning.”
So Peter went out into the dark street. He had only gone a few meters 13 he heard his wife calling him again．
“I’m 14 again now, and I shall not want the doctor.” she said softly.
Hearing this, he started running as 15 as he could towards the doctor’s. When he arrived there, he knocked at the door loudly enough to wake 16 around.
The doctor put his sleepy head out of the bedroom window and said, “Er? Who’s there?”
“Oh, Doctor.” Peter called up to him, “I have very 17 news for you. My wife 18 ill with a terrible stomachache. I was on my way to bring you to her, but she called me back to say the trouble had suddenly 19 her. So you need not come. Go back to 20 now, and sleep well!”

“REMOVE from friends.”
This is no ordinary button. One click and I have the power to erase a person from my life.
In late fall, I had around 400 friends on Facebook. Today, I have 134.
Click. Make that 133.
When Facebook first entered my life in 2005, I panicked（恐慌、担心） that my friend count was too low. If I wasn’t properly connected, how would anyone see my clever quote(引语)? Who would wish me a happy birthday? I accepted and sent out friend requests without a second thought and soon accumulated 391 friends.
There is an appeal to being able to communicate with someone or just “thumbs(拨动手指) up” a photo rather than make real conversation.
“It’s comforting and it’s easy,” said Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University, who studies the way people communicate online.” There’s a sense of belonging in it. It’s a sense of community in a generation where community has sort of (有点)disappeared.”
However, I don’t talk to half of these people in the online community. There are some I would avoid if I met them on the street.
Click. 132.
I decided to rid my account of any “friend” that…well, wasn’t. Sound easy? You try it.
Look at who you’re dealing with: family, friends, classmates, crushes(爱恋的对象), acquaintances…
With every click of the “Remove from friends” button, you risk burning a bridge, losing a contact and missing an opportunity. So every time I go to click the button, my heart hurts.
However, I’m not the only one who has experienced a Faceboook friend refreshing. The New Oxford American Dictionary announces its “Word of the Year” each year, and last year, “unfriend” made the cut (入围) (though I’ll still stick with “defriend”).
When I started my mission(任务), a few friends joined. Most were surprised by how easily they could cut hundreds of connections without thinking twice.
“Oh my God, I defriended like 600 people today. I feel so good!” my friend Sarah messaged.
Dana, a close friend from high school, and I battled it out to see who could get our counts lower. She wins at 123.
To some, it’s poor “netiquette(网络礼仪)” to defriend. But to me, it’s the stage of life when we hold onto the people who count, the people who impact you.

Nowadays, any traveler might be treated as a terrorist(恐怖分子) by the immigration(入境) officers in the USA.We returned from Iraq and landed safely. My heart 16 when I was asked to the back room by the immigration officer. My 17, with his very American last name, had no trouble at all. In fact, I am 18 American born and raised, but they weren’t quite ready to let me in yet. The only reason was 19 they thought my name looked like the one of 20 who’s on their wanted list(通缉令) and I had to wait till they checked me out 21 Washington.
Time passed 22. One hour, one hour and a half…I could not wait any longer and 23 my cellphone out to call the friend I had planned to meet that evening. An officer 24 over. “No Phone!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling terrorists and giving them 25.”
Oh, my! I was just a university professor. I had no 26 but to put my phone away. My husband and I were getting hungry and 27. I wanted to cry, to 28 onto a chair and shout: “I am but an American professor!”
After two hours in the back room, without explanation and 29, I was allowed to go after he gave me a piece of paper with a(n) 30 on it and told me I could write to the department if I wasn’t 31 with the treatment. He also 32 that nothing could stop it from happening again.
I shared my experience with my friends and the 33 was I should change my name. But name is personal, like the town you were born in.
Even though I had a troublesome experience at the airport, which made me realize being American could ever be so 34, like my father, I’ll keep the 35.
